[QUOTE="odw26, post: 1050435, member: 85038"] We've got a decent squad but it has got weaker over the summer as we've lost Berghan, Sutherland, and van der Merwe but we've still got one of the best back rows in Europe and we've added some decent players in Lang, de Bruin and Henry Immelman. Our Scotland players should be playing more than 10 games a season for us as the new format has either no or very little domestic games during international windows so we should have our full strength squad for most of the season unlike last season. I think Cockerill left because of major discontent within the squad rather than on-field performance unfortunately as players weren't happy with the all-stick approach, and there were rumours of player revolts earlier in the season as well. It's a shame he's left because he turned us into a genuine competitive outfit but hopefully Mike Blair can continue that and just open up our backs to play more freely. [/QUOTE]
