Our Team: Standoff
In the latest of our series looking at Scotland’s Six Nation selection options, Rory takes a look at the key position of standoff. Will Ruaridh Jackson carry Glasgow form to the international stage. Is young Heathcote ready? Who does the kicking?
Action Jackson’s Back, Son
Sean Lineen announces a 24 man squad to face the Scarlets on Thursday. It’s on the TV too!
Jackson Is Still In, But Out For Now
that Ruaridh Jackson will not be considered for selection for the opening matches of this year’s RBS Six Nations for Scotland.
Jackson and Low Injury Update

Contracting But Not Shrivelling
If you are on social networking sites your timeline will currently be clogged. In fact plugged or dammed are probably more fitting descriptions. Everyone is bleating about the weather. Somehow it has come to everyone’s attention that we are entering Scotland’s lengthy rainy season and we are ready to whinge about it as much as […]
World Cup Squad Preview: Backs
The club season is done. The pro-team season is almost over, unless you happen to be challenging for a playoff place (hint: Edinburgh and Glasgow are not). All eyes turn now to the World Cup, at least in this part of the world.

Here we go again…
As Welsh legend Gareth Thomas tells all in America there have been a few revelations on our own soil. Brace yourself for the Scottish rugby version of the New Years honour list…
Walker In A Winter Wonderland
Scotland 19-16 Samoa Scotland brought their Autumn International series to a close with a narrow win over a determined bunch of Samoans, who seem to have replaced their free-wheeling and high-tackling style with something far more difficult to overcome. Consistent access to this group of players and a bit of work on the set piece […]
Rank Outsiders
Sooooo…….. Anyone watch the boxing on Saturday night? Anyone wash their car on Saturday afternoon? Walk their dog? Build a shed? Listen to your other half’s problems? Play tig with the busses? Ok, that last one was probably after you watched the rugby… Black Saturday, as it will forever be known, is over. Forgotten. That’s […]
Glasgow’s Dragon Slayers?
Ok it might be wishful thinking, but as my esteemed colleague A.D. said yesterday, Edinburgh and Glasgow have largely been written out of the script for this year’s Heineken Cup. And the TV coverage.
