Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

So very Scottish :lol:

Still, it's completely in their hands. Be nice if the Stormers do enough to stop the Lions getting all 5 points though.

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

I'm in 2 minds. The 2 points probably seals the season but they had momentum, lineout had been good.

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Ross McCann signs a 2 year deal with Edinburgh. Probably not a bad signing. Don't imagine he'll be on a huge wage and looked decent enough when he got the odd game.

Just once I'd love to see Edinburgh step up and beat Munster, especially in a very important game. The backline looked all over the place against Zebre, absolutely no fluidity or cohesion, big Duane tries to batter through 14 players in any direction, Mark Bennett should be more accurate given all ...

Was never expecting a win but that was very disappointing. First half, they kicked about 99% of their ball away. Never managed to slow the Stormers ball down at the breakdown and it really cost them.
