Since when the **** has it been called “Scottish Gas Murrayfield”?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I thought it was called Rectal Gas Murrayfield?

Since when the **** has it been called "Scottish Gas Murrayfield"?

I found this:
"Murrayfield was officially named Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in July 2023, following a five-year partnership agreement between Scottish Rugby and Scottish Gas. The stadium was previously known as BT Murrayfield Stadium from 2014 to 2023. Prior to 2014, the stadium was known simply as Murrayfield Stadium".

My brain is clearly still in 2013 as I didn't even know it was called BT Murrayfield.

How far away are we from having sponsors in people's names? Before you laugh, many thought having branded jerseys was silly and the idea of including a brand in a team's name ludicrous.

Maybe Adam Beard could be sponsored by Tampax.

It's quite common in Thailand with Muay Thai fighters - they change their name to that of their gym, or sponsors

Marcus Smith - Leathermans utility tools.

Looks like Van Der Merwe is finally getting a change to start with South Africa on the wing.

Ooops sorry wrong South African Van Der Merwe fulfilling his dreams.

Could have been a good payday for Hamilton if he was still playing. "Pure Jim"

Did someone say "Epi Taione"?

No, you must have misheard. They said Epic Sione.

Intriguing match.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Intriguing match.

Agreed. In fact I think all of the matches are pretty hard to call. No one will be shocked if Japan beat Wales or England beat NZ or Argentina beat Scotland or Ireland Australia. Likewise no one will be surprised if they go the other way. Tricky accumulator but I'm going for

Ireland
England
Scotland
Japan

+1 This is actually a banging set of tests in terms of being difficult to call.

Ireland
NZ (Very tight but Borthwick just doesn't fill me with confidence)
Scotland (heart over head I admit)
Japan (Again tight - I hope Tandy gets his first W but think Japan had a good go in Dublin until a few late scores saw Ireland run away with it)

Going for:

Ireland
New Zealand
Argentina (this one is the toughest call)
Wales

Wasn't there an aussie rules player years ago, who changed his name to 'Whiskers' or some other cat food company?

**yes...

Disappointing that Kinghorn retains his place after a poor display last week. Kyle Rowe or Ollie Smith deserved a shot this weekend. Good to see Darge back but he is lacking match fitness and so I hope Townsend has seen enough in training to justify the pick.

Duhan on the bench seems odd given his lack of versatility. Kinghorn on the bench would have made much more sense. Would liked to have seen Onyeama-Christie and Max Williamson in the 23. Still no Zander. Other than that I suppose it'll do.
