Rugby Legends Kelly Brown and Neil de Kock have travelled to the Isle of Mull in Scotland for a training session with Mull RFC to help support the growth of the game at a grassroots level. 

Former Scotland forward Brown, drove his Saracens teammate de Kock from Glasgow to the westerly town of Oban before boarding a ferry to the remote Isle of Mull. Making their way through the picturesque landscape, the two former rugby internationals arrived at Mull RFC and surprised the players during their weekly training session. 

Thirty-three year old Brown commented: "It has been a fantastic start to Rugby World Cup 2015 and it is great to see the support the Tournament has received from existing and new fans. I have really enjoyed travelling to the Isle of Mull with Neil de Kock as this is a great way of even the most remote clubs sharing the global stage and telling their story to the world."

While in Mull, Rugby Legends Kelly Brown from Scotland and Neil de Kock from South Africa have given their thoughts on the third round Pool B match between Scotland v. South Africa at St. James Park, Newcastle on 03 October 2015.

The former Scotland flanker commented: "As a Scotsman, I am going to have to go with my home nation to win it. I think that they have done really well in the first two games."
