Rugby’s Greatest Unions: Armstrong & Chalmers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@keoniwright3647]

Hask clearly has a certain reverence for players from the 90s ... nice to see.

[@domblanc224]

Absolutely brilliant GBR. What a great idea, and a fantastic trip down memory lane with legends. You mentioned them in the game, but would love Hill, Back and Dallaglio to chew the fat.

[@allankerr668]

Absolutely outstanding! Great to hear the stories! Can't wait for the rest! 🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

One of the best episodes! From an englishman!

[@jode_steele]

"Rugby's Greatest Unions" is a great concept - Wonderful chemistry. I look forward to more.

[@bobwyllie41]

Rarely post comments, but wanted to here. Great episode, your respect to these legends was awesome. Great work. Rugby at its best.

[@michaeldobson-hornett6561]

Great episode … from someone who played in the 80’s I get the violence aspect so well 😅. I too wouldn’t have changed a thing from those days. Wonderful to see two top players from back then 👍🏻🍻

[@mikegalway4733]

Loved watching that, although I'm an England supporter I always loved watching Gary Armstrong, fantastic player.

[@joepavel5447]

Dooley and Ackford. Proper old school.

[@john9508]

Great show guys and a speedy recovery to Chick

Grew up loving Scottish Rugby in Ireland via my Dad, he loved Bill McMurty the Scottish commentator, I might have his name wrong, I recently saw that 1990 game on Scottish rugby you tube , just give you chills the Scottish supporters back then had a different noise level to today , the Passion of the players back then was at another level, they might be milles off the players of today physically but not in their drive to win at all costs, amazing stuff as a 42 years old watching this from New York brilliant!!!

[@docdr7199]

Bill McMurtrie was the rugby correspondent for the Glasgow Herald newspaper. The commentator was, of course, Bill McLaren.

[@ldfreitas9437]

@@fatkev1983 Yes, I'd agree, but right behind were Peter West and Cliff Morgan. Both didn't quite have the "preparation" that McClaren put in, but I love hearing "My word" from Peter West and "He must score" from Morgan.

McMurtry eas a rugby journalist your thinking of McLaren

Fantastic episode Gary Armstrong World Class In his prime Jetharts Here...

Brilliant episode best yet 👍👍👍

[@LaPtiteAnglaise]

Loved watching GA play. Modest. Highly talented. Nails. Remember his tackling - he genuinely smashed much much bigger opponents.

Absolute legends from a more elegent game from a more civilised age!

JJ and F Calder The Hastings Sisters The Quinelle Sisters The Underwood Sisters

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Scott Gibbs and Alan Tait

[@JamieDickson-x2v]

Excellent content, two greats of the game, well done. My suggestion for a future episode would McGeechan & Telfer.

[@kenrundle4225]

Gary mentioned driving for a grain company. It reminded me of an event in either 1986 or 87 when someone in the English grain trade challenged the Scottish Grain trade to a rugby game. Findlay Calder was then a grain trader, Gary transporting it and JJ growing it! Coupled with the Bairds and a whole list of other linked Scottish internationals etc the Scottish team came out on top.

[@ldfreitas9437]

Grain: a must for whiskey or beer!

[@davidwilliams5325]

On the couch with England centres Will and the other Guy. Good luck hope ya can deliver that

[@struancochrane753]

Carling and Guscott?

[@simonsmith740]

Agree sir. Carling and guscott outstanding pair​@struancochrane753

[@struancochrane753]

@simonsmith740 and I am Scottish. They were very good. Plus Carling diagnosed the issues with the RFU a long way out, "50 old farts"

[@ldfreitas9437]

@@struancochrane753 Yes, but professionalism came on without any sort of transition period, and it didn't work out well. Look at the clubs that are in financial trouble now?

[@beneveritt7763]

Leicester & England ABC club - rowntree, cockerill and garforth. Brilliant!

[@andrewbuglass6284]

Enjoyed that. Laughed out loud about Tom McCleish (not just a super rugby player but one of the best trout fishers I have met). Only negative Haskel needs to understand there is a reason he has two ears and one mouth and that they should be used in that proportion.

[@thomasbury215]

Odriscoll and roberts. Great lions combo.

[@simongilliat2205]

Can you do Hill, Back and Dallaglio?

[@derekscott5708]

Gary Armstrong, simply the best 9 ever. So combative, so incredibly brave.

[@jamesplumb4517]

Hill, Back, Dallaglio. Dooley & Ackford. Jeffries & Calder. Robert Jones & Jonathon Davis.

[@selectmarketing844]

Very entertaining. Like to see Peter Winterbottom, Mike Teague, Dean Richards, Micky Skinner. Find 2 from 4 that are still compos mentis.....England and the LIons together.

[@deborahlawson5109]

What a great idea 💡

[@SuperJim44]

Charmers looks exactly the same today as he did in 1990!

[@kosie1973]

Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield - In the run up to autumn internationals perhaps

[@TheDandob1982]

Was lucky enough to meet Chris Raducanu a few months back

[@CagedPaps]

Great episode - but unrelated feedback. Is there any reason you/they don't use lapel mics? When you've got guests who aren't used to holding them it's more noticeable but I've wondering why you don't. Is it just to get that bit more branding in? It would maybe help remove the fumbling noises.

[@seamus9750]

More of this please...

[@Jordyboy1202]

Perfect Valentine’s Day podcast 😂

[@GoodBadRugby]

Wouldn't wish to spend it anywhere else 😅

[@johnnyguitar6697]

Here's a few ideas: Jeffrey - White - Calder Dooley - Ackford Sella - Mesnel (both of them speak English) D'Arcy - O'Driscoll

[@MiniMatthew]

Awesome legends but why not do these episodes when the six nations isn't on? 😂

[@alec1113]

Kings bar , Harrys bar I new them well !

[@JohnFox-lc8ei]

Fantastic episode. How about getting Danny Cipriani on. Bit left field but I bet it would be interesting

[@joedennehy386]

Nonu and Conrad Smith, be worth a look

[@Badlighter]

Leonard, Moore, Probyn.

[@simonsmith740]

My pal Nick Killick was moores understudy at quins and played with fun bus ,probyn and the judge Rendall at various points.. different breed the front rows

[@tam1381]

Best Scottish player ever. Chalmers was a tough player. Telfer was not wrong.

[@Blank10094]

Murray and Sexton

[@Analytical2000]

Given Ireland's current position in the Six Nations where they have the opportinity of becoming the first team in the Six Nations era of winning the championship with a Grand Slam back to back, it might be interesting to have two groups. One group that did not win anything when they played for Ireland and the second group that have won a Grand Slam, Championship, or at least a Triple Crown while playing for Ireland. You could have one of the front rows from the 90s, such as Keith Wood, Paul Wallace and Peter Clohessy/ Nick Popplewell with the 2009 Grand Slam front row of Jerry Flannery, John Hayes and Marcus Horan. Alternatively, you could have one of the 90s backline partnerships, such as Simon Geoghegan, Richard Wallace, and Conor O'Shea with the 2009 Grand Slam backline paternership of Luke Fitzgerald, Tommy Bowe and Rob Kearney.

Dooley and Ackford. Surely?!?

[@assess1973]

O Connell & O Callaghan full stop

[@rocketing47]

Good to see 2 Scotland Greats however the 2 hosts did not handle the interview well It was clear Chalmers was more chopsy and overtalked and interrupted Armstrong. As hosts they need to do better to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity

Will carling and Jeremy Guscott

The future of rugby is not in the past,lets talk about the future and move the game on.

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Heavens Gary has aged.. Chick looks the same!

[@ldfreitas9437]

1990 Match a great one. Unfortunately, the referee, Bishop I think was his name, a Kiwi, did not play advantage. I've watched that game a few times on video, and every time he blew the whistle when advantage should have been played, I cringe (I'm a referee.). I sort of thought this was a Southern Hemisphere attempt to make a mockery of the match. Tough game, and at a time of amateurism, and let's admit, semi-professionalism to an extent.
