What have Alex Grove and Ben Cairns got to do to get a shot in this Six Nations? And for that matter Ben Foden? What does Graeme Morrison have to do to get dropped?

Phil Godman was last seen limping about during Edinburgh’s very impressive victory over the Ospreys on Sunday (anyone spot Clancy whistling up 20 seconds before time?!), but no word on troubles with any other Scotland players. So in the meantime here, lukewarmish off the presses and in the interests of fair reporting, an [...]

Rather than trying to piece together my frazzled thoughts on the game, I thought I’d see what others had to say that reflects on the weekend, and on the match in two weeks time, and beyond…

Despite the result Saturday had everything a 6N weekend needs. Plus a little more criminal activity.
Any great story or sporting event has certain key components that make it memorable. If you were making a feature film about a game (Take notes, Mr. Eastwood!) then Scotland vs. Wales certainly met all the right criteria. Somehow I [...]

When you’re picked to start on the subs bench of an international rugby fixture you probably dream of coming on and altering the course of the game, being the catalyst for a turn around, drastically changing the outcome of the fixture. Scott Lawson and Phil Godman did just that.

Well boys ‘n’ girls wasn’t that a right royal kick to the rugby knackers?
Never have I felt so deflated, upset, despondent yet awfully proud at a game of rugby. To a man Scotland played out of their socks and in Dan Parks had the outstanding player on the field of play – his performance in defeat [...]

Wales 31-24 Scotland
This weekend the game of rugby itself received a transfusion of energy, as finally the Six Nations lived up to its billing and provided rugby fans with sporting drama of the kind not seen since the second Lions Test last year, and before that not seen at test level for some time. The [...]

So near and yet not actually that far. Shane Williams had a great five minutes. Dan Parks had a great game. George Clancy: not so much.
5.7 (e) If time expires and the ball is not dead, or an awarded scrum or lineout has not been completed the referee allows play to continue until the next [...]

I thought I should also chip in with something; what about the Welsh?!
During the 6N a bit of navel gazing is common place and no nation is more morbidly insular than Scotland. We mustn’t, however, always focus on our own shortcomings. If Gregor is right about Andy Robinson’s feelings towards the last game then there [...]
