It was a privilege to talk to Michael Mawdsley and Rodger Hill, about Rodger's son David who was sadly taken too soon due to undiagnosed heart conditions. He died suddenly, without warning, whilst playing rugby for the Scottish Parliamentary Team against the Irish Dail and Senead XV team, on a sunny day in Dublin on 19th March 2022, at the age of just 30.
His life-long passion was rugby. Murrayfield was his spiritual home and he revelled in both the highs and lows supporting the Scottish Rugby Team.
To honour David's life the annual fixture as part of the Parliamentary Six Nations against the Irish will become the David Hill Memorial Quaich, a trophy which has been very kindly donated by David's family. The first fixture of the Quaich will take place on the 11 March 2023 and is due to take place at Peffermill, on the all-weather pitch.
Listen in to the pod to find out more about David, the team and the game from those who know best.
