Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

I think the last couple of posts are pretty objective and fair. If we were able to field our first choice, fully fit and on form side, I think Scotland could do rather more and better, especially if the current forward-dominated approach to subsitutes were to end somehow. Yet things like injuries a...

I cannot understand why you lot don't get it. Historically Edinburgh have always been fairly rubbish to crap, no matter who has been coach. When a new coach comes in they might have a couple of weeks/months playing really well and then they revert back to their normal attitudes. As for last night, t...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Good luck to Jamie. Although Perpignan are not challenging the top they are a good club and he is following in some names that have been there previously, Strokes and Wagga who thoroughly enjoyed the club, and I am sure Strokes has told Jamie all about it.

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

I was going to say Edinburgh were woeful, but they weren't that good. For so many international players in the squad there was no leadership - it looked as if they were trying to be the big guy and get one over on the opposition, and failed miserably. There was no cohesion, again. And their attitude...
