Fred MacAulay & Greig Laidlaw: Supported by The Famous Grouse

Greig Laidlaw is truly one of the biggest characters in Scottish sport. Fred MacAulay welcomes Greig for this featured conversation about his inspirational rugby career and much-lauded leadership style – with plenty of laughs thrown in for good measure! A proud Scotsman with a fierce work ethic, Greig knew early on where he wanted to be — on a rugby pitch. Even while completing an apprenticeship as a joiner, he kept pushing, training, and closing the gap between a childhood dream and a professional career. From his Scotland debut in 2010 to his international retirement in 2019, Greig became one of the most influential figures in modern Scottish rugby. He captained his country 39 times — more than half of his 76 caps — and more than any other Scottish male player in history. A strategist, a metronomic goalkicker, a captain with a calm edge, he was the heartbeat of Scotland through two World Cups and a British & Irish Lions tour in 2017. His club career has taken him across Scotland, England, France and Japan, winning silverware and earning the respect of every environment he entered. Wherever he has played, he has proven to be a leader you can trust, a thinker you can follow, and a competitor who raises the standards of those around him. This is a seated event (unreserved).
