In 2007 he was playing for a Scottish Classics XV side. Afterwards he felt unwell and a heart attack was diagnosed.[9]

Professional career

As the Flanker named for Warriors first match as a professional team - against Newbridge in the European Challenge Cup - Shaw has the distinction of being given Glasgow Warrior No. 7 for the provincial side.

On moving to Currie, Shaw still played for Glasgow[10] much to the dismay of Edinburgh Rugby who had prematurely included him in their squad to face Glasgow.[11]

He played for Glasgow in their match against South Africa in 1998.[12] he also played for the amateur Glasgow District against Scotland Under-21 in 2001.[4]

International career

He was capped for Scotland A.[13]

Coaching career

He became a player-coach for the East Kilbride side under Fraser Stott in 2003.

Shaw was to coach Waysiders Drumpellier[14] from 2006 to 2010[15] [16] [17]

Shaw was to coach Whitecraigs RFC[18] from 2010[13]

Refereeing career

He is now refereeing rugby matches.[8]

Outside of rugby

Away from rugby, he is the managing director of Scaffolding Scotland.[19] [2] [20]

Shaw was arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct in Scottsdale, AZ on 3 December 2016.[21]
