The University of Edinburgh will launch a new sports initiative on Thursday entitled “Capital Conversations” and initially featuring prominent figures in the world of rugby.

Former Scotland men’s captain Chris Paterson will take to the stage in the Pleasance Cabaret Bar alongside current Edinburgh and Scotland internationalists Matt Currie and Harry Paterson as well as international referee Hollie Davidson.

Together, the illustrious quartet will share their personal journeys in rugby, reflect on the Men’s Six Nations, and look ahead to the Women’s Six Nations which got underway with a Scotland win over Wales at the weekend, offering unique insights and behind-the-scenes perspectives.

The plan is to host further discussions in April and May on sporting topics to be announced.

Doors open at 5pm and broadcaster Rhona McLeod will host.
