Has the rugby season started yet? I feel i should know, but there's playoff baseball on and I'm distracted. Still, i put a beer in the fridge on the off chance

It's also massively refreshing to hear honest opinions on things that could have genuine repercussions if they say it out loud, and not the media trained claptrap we get from most of the men.

I almost feel sorry for whoever it is has to coordinate a public SRU response to the absolute barrage of grievances the Scotland women's squad have rightfully been airing in the media since yesterday. Almost.

As we've run down the #URC so far we've covered every country and a variety of origin stories, but everyone has had "financial troubles, not many trophies" in common.

Today that starts to change. We're reviewing the Glasgow Warriors.

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away

So much to say after that game it would fill a book. Firstly, congratulations to England. They’re an exceptional rugby squad, with depth for days. They’re also very clearly working hard to remain so & as such fully deserving of any success. Today showed how far ahead of Scotland they are. For Sco…

BOD was luckily Meg Jones wasn’t available for the Lions in 2013 as she would’ve ended his career far quicker that Foxy did.

"Traditional Scottish conditions" that we've seen 3/4 times over the course of this World Cup being held in England

Exactly this. Patronising and dated shite. Comms team should do themselves a favour and google the top 20 wettest cities in the UK. Spoiler alert… Edinburgh isn’t one of them

They won't, but the SRU need to recruit strongly for a new women's head coach, and not just the usual who have we got in the organisation that we can promote sideways (see director of rugby, mens coaches ad nauseam)

Superb team effort there to get a try at the end, only the third England have conceded. Let's be honest, that's 18 points less than the average margin of victory which is just the sort of straw we at the Scottish Rugby Blog and @scotrugbypod.bsky.social love...

The only thing that kept me watching this long was loyalty to one of the most likeable teams I've ever supported. That and I'd follow Rachel Malcolm into Hell if she thought it was a good idea

If we're going to bring up the heritage of every Scotland player let's chat about the Welsh born Meg Jones.

Not that you'd know it to listen to the comms, but England have made plenty of errors. What is clear though, is their setpiece and kicking skills are well ahead of Scotland's.

The girls are just working them out, so we can beat them in front of a record crowd at Murrayfield next year

Rachel giving it her best chat but it's not gonna work

Scottish Rugby Blog @scottishrugbyblog.co.uk · Sep 14

To be fair though, I'd love to see them try an offloading game for the last half hour. Suicidal as it might turn out...
