    So we have the 'Super 6' - Ayr, Boroughmuir, Heriot’s, Melrose, Stirling County and Watsonians. No Glasgow team, Dundee miss out so no team from north of the Forth and only 1 borders team. Just hope it doesn't turn out to be a 6 team play each other a million times bore fest. Is it the best...

    Future UK develpoment

    Scotland is much the same, RL is a very minor sport even lying behind curling. Though teams in the past have picked up RU players in the close season which they actually like playing RL. There are RU players to be converted but without funding it wont go far any time fast. The promise of a RL 6...

    Super League 2020

    RL really needs to re think its product, its dying on its feet as its all about the super league and sod the rest. I've watched games in the championship and league 1 this year and there is some good stuff being played by forward thinking teams.

    Scottish Rugby Stuff

    The thing about Ayr is there ground is on prime real estate land, and could go for many ££££ if they have the notion to sell, possible relocation is in the center of Ayr at Dam Park with easy transport links. Ayr are a consistent team with a good setup. Other local teams at Marr, Kilmarnock and...

    Scottish Rugby chief confirms interest in Premiership club

    Why on earth would they allow this to happen, especially with the current England situation. We need to be bringing more English players through the system and giving them premiership experience not giving Scotland the opportunity to build strength in depth, but great for Scotland to try this...

    Georgia pushing for 6 Nations spot

    Georgia really didn't take Union seriously until the 1990's and only became a force when France and Italy left the Euro nations cup in the early 2000's, so they have made great progress in such a short time. Argentina have made great steps forward and look an impressive outfit especially since...

    Georgian Rugby

    The Georgian RFU need to push for more realistic games so to push on the improvements made recently. Playing Italy, Scotland etc on a regular basis. Maybe a regular Romania match and invite one of the South sea's nations over like Tonga, Samoa, even a short tour of the pacific islands. Its going...

    What ever happens I just hope the IRB take note of the tier 2 teams in this years RWC. With continued support for them, Romania, Georgia, Japan played extremely well and hopefully over the coming couple of world cups the forward momentum of tier 2 teams carries on. What I would like to see is...

    The coming week for Stuart Lancaster and Co.

    Totally agree, but with the money being thrown around in the sport you can't blame people expecting more from the national team. Australia are looking very strong and if they don't get their act together then were out. I do expect a lot of sole searching in the coming week and England will be at...
