For Scotland fly-half Finn Russell, Falkirk RFC is a family affair – his brother Harry is currently their captain.
And it was at the Central Scotland club where they talented play maker spent some of his formative years.
"They were at risk of being closed, and if they were closed, the entire club would have nowhere to play. You can't play rugby in the middle of winter without being able to have a shower afterwards.” However, hope was not lost, and thanks to a much needed cash injection from The National Lottery and other key contributors, the club was able to improve its infrastructure and secure its future within the local community.
During Lawson’s visit, Crawford showed the former Scottish captain the new facilities that have been made possible with the help of The National Lottery funding. Crawford, who has worked tirelessly along with the rest of the club team, insists that the club wouldn’t be able to exist without the help of funding from the likes of The National Lottery and the players who take part.
Lawson, whose father Alan also played for Scotland, met some of the club's junior team before sending a good-luck message to Finn Russell ahead of Scotland taking on South Africa in the tournament this weekend.. "The top of the pyramid gets higher when the base of the pyramid is wider, so The National Lottery funding is really important."
