  • The business of rugby: David Jordan and the URC

    The business of rugby: David Jordan and the URC
    Sep 11 2025
    Hello and welcome to a special bonus pod with David Jordan. Jordan became Glasgow Rugby’s chief executive in 1997 and was therefore right in the eye of the storm during the wild west days of early rugby professionalism. He went on to become the Celtic League’s first tournament director in 2005, running the competition out of his dining room in Bearsden. He has been at the vanguard as the league has morphed into the Pro12, Pro14 and now United Rugby Championship and he has some incredible insights to share on these years. We hope you enjoy.
