Welcome to the Offside Line Podcast with your hosts Peter Burns and David Barnes.


In this weekly show we examine all aspects of Scottish rugby, from the grassroots level to the Test arena, and discuss the goings on in the wider global game – helped by a regular panel of special guests and featuring exclusive interviews.


David Barnes has worked as a freelance rugby journalist since 2004 covering every level of the game in Scotland for publications including The Herald/Sunday Herald, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Scotsman/Scotland on Sunday/Evening News, The Daily Record, The Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday and The Sun. He established the Offside Line in 2016 to provide high-quality, independent and up-to-date coverage of all aspects of Scottish rugby.


In 2005 he co-authored Jim Renwick’s autobiography, Centre of Excellence, and in 2008 was shortlisted for Rugby Book of the Year at the British Sports Book Awards for The Accies: The Cradle of Scottish Rugby. He is the co-author of the critically acclaimed Behind the Thistle: Playing Rugby for Scotland and Behind the Lions: Playing Rugby for the British & Irish Lions.



Peter Burns is a William Hill Sportsbook of the Year shortlisted author and the managing director of Polaris Publishing Ltd. He has written eleven sports books, including Behind the Thistle: Playing Rugby for Scotland, This is Murrayfield: 100 Years of History in 100 Matches, Behind the Lions: Playing Rugby for the British & Irish Lions, This is Your Everest: The Lions, the Springboks and the Epic Tour of 1997, When Lions Roared: The Lions, the All Blacks and the Legendary Tour of 1971 and The Men in the Arena: England, Australia and the Battle for the 2003 Rugby World Cup. He is also the author of the forthcoming children's book series, Shadow Thieves.

    Hello Offside Liners and welcome to this week’s show. Barney and Burnsy clutch at some straws to dredge some positives from the weekend (well done, Edinburgh – both on and off the field) but then they have to delve into the disappointing performances from Scotland Women in the Six Nations and Glasgow in the URC. Still, there are lots of laughs along the way . . .

    Hello Offside Liners and welcome to this week’s show. Burnsy has to drag himself off the floor to dive into Glasgow’s no-show against Toulon in the Champions Cup quarter-final, but in happier sections of the show, he and Barney examine Scotland’s victory over Wales in the Women’s Six Nations, saunter through the Scottish Cup semi-finals and look at Edinburgh's new back-room appointment.


    Come and see us live! We’re at the Greenyards in Melrose on Friday night (17 April) with special guests Scott Wright, James Flemming and Lisa Thompson.


    The bar will be open both throughout the podcast and after, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the occasion.

    Hello Offside Liners and welcome to this week’s show. Barney and Burnsy dive into the last 16 round of the Champions Cup as Glasgow triumph over the Bulls and Edinburgh make a show of it in Dublin against Leinster – but are still left asking: what now for the capital team? They also cast an eye over the men and women’s Six Nations U18 festivals, and preview the opening round of the Women’s Six Nations, the Scottish Cup semi-finals and Glasgow’s quarter-final against Toulon.
