Fraser Dingwall

About this episode

Fraser Dingwall discusses his competitive nature, rugby journey, and personal experiences growing up with a Scottish father and Geordie mother.

After a childhood of 'tantrums', Fraser Dingwall reveals how he developed fierce competitive instincts on the pitch and in the classroom, and how a potential career in football was a possibility before focusing on rugby. The Northampton Saints centre talks about growing up with a Scottish dad and Geordie mum that has seen him representing both nations at rugby, and how his journey to Test ruby with England came about. Dingwall also discusses why despite 'not being blessed with genetics' he uses problem solving to prove people wrong about his physicality, the Health Sciences degree he studied alongside rugby and how a late night prank with George Furbank went very wrong. In this podcast you will also hear from Fraser's dad Gordon as well one of his first coaches at Cambridge RUFC Steve Jackson, as well as Guy Pepper and Henry Arundell.
