Hello, you friendly people. Welcome to our Scottish Rugby Blog, where we will hold forth on all matters relating to rugby, especially the areas affecting those of us doomed to watch it in Scotland… Feel free to join in with comments, and let us know if there are any areas you feel we could be addressing.

Rory is the editor of Scottish Rugby Blog, and has offered a fan's view on Scottish Rugby for 5 Live, ESPN/Scrum.com and BBC Wales.
