In this week's podcast - the only podcast to cover exclusively club rugby in Scotland - Stuart and Dale discuss last weekend's results and look ahead to Saturday's matches. There's also the usual heated debate about the play-off system and Dale talks dirty with the subject of poo on the pitch! Don't ask!!
As always, we'd like to thank the following clubs for supporting the podcast - Hawick, Marr, Selkirk, Jedforest, Kelso, Glasgow Hawks, Ayr, Melrose, Gala, Peebles, Stirling County, Berwick and Stewart's-Melville. You can hear from these clubs in every episode of the podcast throughout the season.
In the Premiership, all games are now crucial as we head towards the Christmas break. Leaders Hawick welcome fourth placed Edinburgh Accies while second-placed Marr travel to bogie team Selkirk. The Bill McLaren Shield is up for grabs and Jedforest have a chance to win something this season as they go in search of their first win at Stoneyhill taking on Musselburgh. Heriot's Blues v Currie is an intriguing Edinburgh derby while Glasgow Hawks host Kelso in the bottom half of the division.
In National 1 Ayr are the runaway leaders with 11 wins out of 11 - their head coach Grant Anderson is preparing for the visit of Melrose to Millbrae while Stuart popeed down to the Greenyards to have a chat with their head coach Iain Chisholm, who takes a pop at Dale (everyone else does so why not him as well?).
National 2 will see Falkirk and Peebles look to leap over Lasswade this weekend to reclaim top position with Lasswade having a week off along with Stirling County who both have a game in hand on all other clubs.
National 3 is having a week off as it's a standby date while in National 4 Garnock hope to preserve their unbeaten record against North Berwick.
