Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
I see Dave Cherry is stating he remains available for selection for Scotland. It seems that his behaviour during the WC ruled that right out.

Re: France vs All Blacks
Seems strange that two of our best players against Ireland have been relegated to the bench (and our worst player still makes the 23). I guess that's why he's the coach and I peck away at a keyboard like a hungry sparrow. We'll lose this one though (not enough Chiefs) Needs more Highlanders

A few pundits were bigging it up as a clash of the 10s but it was more the back rows that went at it. For the Lions I would expect Marcus Smith to tour, but can't see beyond Finn Russell as the Test start.

Healy doesn't even make the squad for Edinburgh tomorrow, not listed as injured.

Re: Pivac out. Razor in.
imho Razor is waiting for the NZ job. If he doesn't get it, he'll take the England job if it's offered. I can see a bidding war for him & Jamie Joseph after the RWC.
I agree that Pivac is on the shoogly peg, maybe a lesser SH coach?
