Scotland Full Back Trial

Hugoooooooooo vs Mossy, head to head for the Scotland full-back shirt, being given 40 minutes game-time apiece vs Llanelli Scarlets at the new Parc Y Scarlets (my Welsh is good, eh?), Sunday, 4pm ish, S4C (English commentary on the red button). Who will emerge triumphant?

My guess would be whoever plays the second half, which seems to be when Edinburgh wake up and throw the ball about. Scott MacLeod is also taking the next step in his comeback, hoping for a start to prove his fitness.

In other news, Glasgow face an Ulster team on Saturday (that one’s on Setanta) including Simon Danielli but none of their Irish starters. Cheers Matt.

  1. Hey Rory, I tried and pay attention last Saturday, but couldn’t hear you go “HUGOOOOOOOOOOOO!”, although mebbe you did so right when I was yelling “C’MON, BRING MOSSY ON!!!” too, so I probably outsang you, who knows… :D

  2. Could, be, sadly I was shouting HUGOOOO from at home on the couch. The full Scottish Rugby Blog team will be in attendance for Ireland next week though. Which may not be as good an idea as it seemed at the time.

Scotland fell to another heavy defeat in their WXV series opener against Canada. It was at least an improved performance from the Women’s Six Nations, but they will also be disappointed to find themselves further away from Canada than they had been at last year’s World Cup.
