Happy Christmas

Al and I would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and New Year, and to thank you all for stopping by every once in a while and reading our ramblings on Scottish Rugby, so here’s to you ladies and gents – we hope you keep coming. Tell your friends! And if you are interested in writing please get in touch. Season of goodwill and all that, why not help out?

I couldn’t find the picture of Chunk in a Santa hat (which I faked anyway), so you’ll just have to imagine his beard is white not ginger. I’ll try and get a report in on the 1872 Cup matches but it’ll be a pretty busy festive period for me (non rugby related) so I might have to wait for a two-leg review on the second or third of Jan. If you can’t go along, they are both on STV this year, perfect veg-out material while you are adopting the Chunk look on the couch post all those roast dinners…
