Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Warriors Team for the Lions I suspect we may see a similar theme to the Bulls game, with quite a few of the front five 5 being asked to empty the tank for 30 /35 minutes before bringing on the Warriors equivalent of the 'bomb' squad That is one good looking bench. Kyle Rowe favoured instead of Seba ...

Everyone remembers the anniversary of Senna's death... very few acknowledge the first death that fateful weekend, Roland Ratzenberger also lost his life at the circuit, in qualifying. Apart from Senna himself who had the Austrian Flag in his car - waiting to be unfurled , had he finished the race

30 years ago one of the greatest drivers ( up there with Jim Clark IMHO ) lost his life at Imola.
