Yes, you’ve played a few finals and even won one of them, which I was delighted about. But right now you’re pretty much exactly where Edinburgh are - mid table.

And that's one of the problems with Scottish Rugby if you think that the pinacle is the local Derby.

Both Glasgow ( and Edinburgh ) should be looking at titles as being the pinnacle , in the same way as winning the 6 nations should be the pinnacle , rather than just beating England

Played for Edinburgh for years, can't say anyone got particularly excited about Glasgow games. Big European games and playing Munster, Leinster or (back then) the Ospreys were the logical high points of the season

He gets paid 30k a year. There may be a correlation.

Vellacott, Kinghorn, van der Merwe, Dean, Bennett, Boff

With the exception of Cherry, Harrison, Crosbie and Goosen, the other backups are a long way off.

Muncaster, Boyle, Sykes and Hodgson will get up to scratch and Haining can do a job. I hope Currie makes it and the academy lads still have a lot of time to get there, but we drop off a cliff when that starting team isn't heavily represented.

Our starting XV appears to be missing a winger, presumably Graham

Still worry he's too small for pro rugby but he's still young.

Paul de Wet's passing is crisp isn't it.

Can't help think the Stormers power will prevail.
