Parents of Scotland star who died suddenly at 26 accuse SRU of behaving ‘dishonourably’

Neil and Morven Cattigan have said the Scottish Rugby Union has behaved 'dishonourably' in organising a tribute for their daughter, Siobhan, almost 18 months on from her death.

Former Scotland flanker Siobhan died in November 2021 at the age of 26, having earned 19 caps for her country. The late Stirling County star's parents have suggested in the past her death was due to head trauma she suffered while playing rugby.

And the rift between the Cattigans and the SRU appears to have been opened anew after a Twitter account belonging to Morven aired their grievances with Sunday's pre-match tribute. Scotland host Ireland at Murrayfield in the penultimate round of the men's Six Nations, but the appeal said the SRU's tribute didn't measure up, as well as accusing the body of losing Cattigan's personalised jersey.
