    Quelle surprise !

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 3: Scotland vs Wales (25/02/2017)

    I don't think anyone is saying they don't see Laidlaw missing as a loss to Scotland. He does manage a game well and he does keep the scoreboard ticking over with his goal kicking, the latter in particular being of particular importance to the Scots. I do worry that that loss might hurt us. At...

    Richard Cockerill to take over as Edinburgh coach for next season

    Edinburgh are a team full of talented players though they lack some heart and consistency. I would hope that Cockerill would be the man to put a rocket up them because it certainly was not Solomons when he was in charge. And as much as I would always like to either Edinburgh or Glasgow to have a...

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: France vs Scotland (12/02/2017)

    I agree in terms of the defence, but a team can only defend for so long. It's bloody hard work to constantly tackle and defend, both physically and mentally. Scotland cannot look to defend for the majority of the game and hope to catch France out. That would be a suicidal way of playing against...

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: France vs Scotland (12/02/2017)

    Out of sheer interest, what colour jersey are France going to be wearing Sunday? Given that Scotland will be wearing blue, what colour is France's away kit? Are they still wearing that red number from 2015? Edit - And of that Scotland team, shame for Wilson to miss out (for an elbow infection...

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: France vs Scotland (12/02/2017)

    And here's hoping that doesn't change anytime over the next few days at least. Fair enough. I'd be interested to read your thoughts on this one however.

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: France vs Scotland (12/02/2017)

    A tough one for the Scots here. As much as people have been talking down France recently I do think it's been a little unfair. France should probably have won their game against England. They made something like 500 meters against England though their wastefulness killed them. They conceded...

    Why can't Scots sing?

    I think as a people we are fairly conservative and reserved. I'll admit that I do envy the Welsh and Irish and their happy ability to break into song, and I don't just mean at the rugby. I just don't think it's something that comes as naturally to as Scots who are generally more 'stoic'. That...

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 1: Scotland vs. Ireland (04/02/2017)

    Sorry Alpha but you're just coming across as fairly bitter about yesterday. If you knew anything about the Scottish character you'd know it's not in our nature to start assuming we are something special or all of a sudden going to achieve great things. I don't know why it would upset you so to...

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 1: Scotland vs. Ireland (04/02/2017)

    1. Can you give any examples of anyone suggesting it's a return to the 'glory days'? 2. Can you give any examples of what Laidlaw and 'their media' have apparently been "sprouting" that seems to have caught your ire?

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 1: Scotland vs. Ireland (04/02/2017)

    Just what was this all about? https://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2017/0204/850158-ogara-mouth-scots/ O'Gara comes off as nothing more than a petty and spiteful individual here. Can anyone provide me with anything particularly 'mouthy' that came from the Scotland camp before the game or are we...

    [2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 1: Scotland vs. Ireland (04/02/2017)

    Meaning...? I'm genuinely curious, and strangely one I'd be happy to have a genuine and honest discussion about. I appreciate however this isn't quite the forum for that kind of thing.

    [2017 Six Nations] - Scotland

    I don't see Bennett starting, not ahead of Scott for example. Bennett has only just come back into form for Glasgow in the last couple of games he's played, but other than that he's had a disappointing season by his standards. It seems to have taken him a while to get back to top form after his...

    [2017 Six Nations] - Scotland

    You'd change Brown with McInally!? Your crack pipe must be hot to the touch. Edit - Actually, I think with Nel and Dickenson out of the squad I can see Ford starting ahead of Brown for the simple reason of 'experience'. That and his sheer size. I consider Brown the better footballer though I...

    Pool 1 (Glasgow, Leicester, Munster, Racing Metro)

    Not today. It was one of those rare games where almost every single move Glasgow made worked out perfectly, every run, pass and offload. It was a joy to watch. That and keeping the Leicester score to 0 was of huge satisfaction. That said, we did come up against a very poor Leicester team...

    Pool 1 (Glasgow, Leicester, Munster, Racing Metro)

    I have to laugh at the moral outrage of some of the Munster fans after the game against Glasgow. The sheer lack of self awareness is astounding. Let's calm things down to a riot and cover a few points. Munster fans complaining about Murray being targeted yet Munster as a team, especially at...

    Pool 1 (Glasgow, Leicester, Munster, Racing Metro)

    Believe me, the feeling is mutual. I can't stand Munster and the cynical spoiling way in which they play rugby. Added to that their whinging and play-acting players. It's all very well having a moan about Murray being booed, and whilst I'm not going to defend that I will say that it's his...
