The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

[Yr Alban]

Interesting that Kenny's son appearing in a Scotland squad has attracted pretty much no press attention whatsoever.

Why would it? Son of a Scottish international and a Welsh mother chooses to play for the country of his father is no huge shock

Only because it seemed to be newsworthy when he was going to represent England, as demonstrated by the fact that several of us had read stories about it. If he’d been named in our squad without the previous press attention, I’d agree with you.

Have just seen that ruck.co.uk have picked up the story, so maybe it just took them a while to notice. Had to laugh that the headline referred to him as ‘Gabby Logan’s son’ though. You’d think the other parent would be more relevant in a rugby context!

Comments naturally full of ‘only because he wasn’t good enough for England U20s’. Well, maybe. Time will tell. But after several recent disappointments with players we’d have hoped to capture opting for England, I’m glad to reverse the trend. (Reuben was also pictured in a Scotland top at the Euros with his dad, so maybe this was always happening)

[SaintK]

Thought this was most interesting name in the Scottish squad, quite a long reach to scout him.

Charlie Moss – Montpellier

Was previously in London (at Wasps) so was picked up there.

Thanks

I've reached a couple of conclusions in my approach to this 6 nations:

1) I don't buy the now or never, because broadly speaking I think this group of players will have this 6 nations, 2026 6 nations, 2027 6 nations and the world cup.
2) Success for me this year is being in with a shot to win the tournament on super Saturday (an actual shot, not a ridiculous mathematical shot).

I'd love to be "harsher" and say winning it is my view of success, but with this French & Irish team (Ireland seem to be trending slight down, France if anything seem to be getting better), that is a tough ask. I have England as turning the corner, but I have spoken to people who think they have turned the corner. I reckon they are being suffocated by the coach, personally. Italy should be aiming to claim a scalp or two, but I still have them as 5th. I struggle with Wales. On the whole I want them to lose, lose and lose. But even I am a bit sad at their current state. 6th I reckon, and probably a "true" wooden spoon.

It’s all the more pleasurable as their decline has happened since I moved here

I can assure you, it’s sweeter for me. I had to put up with almost a full decade of the feckers beating us every year after I moved here. Now the tables have turned and the schadenfreude is strong!

I have cousins here and I recall having to explain to one of their teenage kids that it was best not to gloat too much in the 6N, because the wheel will turn. He kens the noo.

I only noticed comment on it on Rugby Pass. Will be interesting to see if he makes the grade at Saints he's a big quick unit so fingers crossed.
Thought this was most interesting name in the Scottish squad, quite a long reach to scout him.

He's been with our age grades for some time. He schooled at Shiplake in Berkshire so interesting move for him.

We did a few years back have a Montpellier academy player called Robin MacLintock ... who couldn’t peak English. Must've been a strange experience for him.

Correct - in fact I saw him play for the U20s in Colwyn Bay. Authentically Scots name (not sure if it was dad or granddad who was Scottish) but yes, I do remember it being reported that he didn’t speak much English!

(Had a Google out of curiosity. His dad Richard was also a player and a coach - may have coached Belgium - but he was born in Toulon and listed as French. I guess it was granddad then. Explains the lack of English. Robin played 5 games for our U20s and lost all of them)

He's still kicking about at Biarritz in the D2 so might yet reappear for Scotland. Only 22, stranger things have happened!

[Punter15]

Saw the warm ups, backs looked very handy, forwards quite lively but a little wanting for grunt.

[SomersetJock]

Smith back for Glasgow, Patterson back for Edinburgh.

Good to see some young lads getting game time, it's a pity it takes internationals or injuries though.

Who's the other hooker in the Scotland squad? Richardson out isn't he? Is it Cherry and Harrison?

Stay safe up there everyone !

Fortunately the storm has coincided with low tide, so it could have been far worse. Although if they’re still getting onshore gales for the next half a day it’ll get bed.

[Dogbert]

After Connacht sneakily tried to negate home advantage by bringing their own weather system with them, the Glasgow team for the rearranged game has been released.

To no ones surprise , non of the players on international duties have been released, and with the ever increasing injury list the team is very different.

Great opportunity for some of the youngsters to really put their hands up.

Smith back ( albeit at 13 ) for his first start for over 400 days since being injured .

Hopefully a big performance from Munn.

Very green squad, Joe Roberts the u20 hooker on the bench for a 6/2 with no second choice 10 and Richie Simpson playing club rugby again is... disappointing.

I just want Glasgow to win the URC again, I guess.

And not one is running onto the ball from Price.

Poor stuff so far.

[Big D]

For a supposedly attack minded coach I really struggle to see a consistent attacking plan from Edinburgh at times.

Nicest play of the game comes from forwards and a forward pass.

[dpedin]

How many penalties will Edinburgh give away - just feckin brainless! No attacking nous from them either, just awful display.

Inadvertently seen the score. Worth watching?

Inadvertently seen the score. Worth watching?

Glutton for punishment? On the face of it, two points away from home when you are bringing in the kids is not a bad return. Looked better in attack than Scarlets despite finishing with no wingers on the pitch. Should have won though really and that is frustrating. Too many dumb penalties and dropped the ball over the try line once.

The lack of ambition and skill level in both sides was what stood out for me. I know watching Glasgow I'm more used to teams going for the 4 tries. Why Scarlets never took the risk at the end to go for the 4th and deny one of their table rivals a point was unbelievable. Edinburgh never in the whole match strung a run together without a mistake for more than about 25m advance so the chance of them going end to end was really low. Two guff teams with even lower confidence.
