Our Scotland XV: The Second-Row
In the latest look at Scotland’s selection headaches, Jamie Lyall ponders the choices in the second row, and finds that for once the choices are wondrous and many. Well, sort of.
Glasgow 51-24 Munster
Glasgow recovered from last week’s sloppy match against Leinster in some style with a scoreboard demolition of a fine Munster side. Yes, that said demolition. Rory Baldwin reports.
Our Team: Second Rows
To kick off a regular series of posts looking at each position in turn ahead of the Six Nations, Tom Macleod looks at the runners and riders for the second row in a potentially new look Scotland team.
Seeing Off Samoa
Scotland have won well on their summer tour, but with more heat and more organised opposition in Samoa should there be tactical changes?
Captain, My Captain
Tomorrow is a big day. In fact for some it is the first step towards their childhood dream. An extended 6 Nations training squad will be named and it is entirely likely that within the vanguard there will be a few fresh faces.
RWC Build-Up: Multiple Emotions But A Single Focus
As I entered Scotland’s World Cup base yesterday in St. Andrews I felt a strange sort of atmosphere. A tension.
World Cup Squad Preview: Forwards
As Rory has chosen to focus on the backs he has left me with the slightly easier task of looking at the forwards. The reason this is easier is because Andy Robinson has a pretty samey starting pack and, barring injury, I can’t imagine it will change too much for the first game in the […]

Is this really the start of the rugby season? We’re a week or two out yet but the uptake of news that one feels obliged to cover seems to be increasing daily. Still, it makes a change from endless football.

Hopefully you were all watching the match as Scotland clinched a historic victory in Argentina at the weekend, but if you weren’t then you can see some highlights here.
Final Scotland Team
Hadden’s gone for Hamilton, with Hines on the bench. You’ve got to feel for Ally Kellock who has dropped out of the 22 altogether despite an assured lineout performance against Italy. The other bench spot goes to Nick De Luca. Match preview to follow tomorrow if I can find the time! Meanwhile all the teams […]
