Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Thrown away a shot at the title through unprofessionalism, incredible Yup, they were gift wrapped a home route to the final and have shat the bed big style Have to say, Weir has been a net negative since coming on. And Horne awful attitude in second with short box kicks against a well set backfield.
