Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
With Weir out for the rest of the season , we need both Hastings and Jordan to remain fit, and past experience would suggest that this is unlikely. Weir has been poor every time I have seen him play recently, but this might be a problem as I am not sure Hastings is even fully fit right now. What ha...

Some of the warriors passing in that game was simply joyous. I had to check that I hadn’t accidentally hit a setting to make the app play at 1.5 speed at one stage.
