So happy to see Dave Rollo at Murrayfield today to celebrate Murrayfield’s centenary year. Not only a Scotland and Lions legend but he taught this Tighthead all he knows. I will forever be indebted to Dave for his time, enthusiasm and friendship.

I just need people to settle down about Finn Russell. Scots fans wanting him out the team, other fans saying he shouldn’t go on the Lions tour. Settle down, have a think and then don’t comment. Without him, Scotland are not the team we know and love. He will be wearing red this summer.

Incredibly proud of Molly Poolman and Adelle Ferrie and journeys they have been on. I’m sure they will get their international caps very soon! scottishrugby.org/fanzone/meet...

Tonight was a joke Edinburgh Rugby. This result should move the SRU to do the decent thing to a coach whose jacket is already on a shaky nail. Can’t score a try after being camped on the 5 meter line of a 13 man Zebre. Not….Good…..Enough

Pleased to be invited back onto @caolansrugby.bsky.social podcast, even though the discussion was difficult after today’s result!
New Pod 🎙️ ROUND 2 REVIEW 🏉

Ireland are top of the tree, Italy are no longer at the bottom and England reminded us of their sleeping giant feel.
An expert panel and I discussed what was an enthralling weekend of action!

Enjoy! 🥳 open.spotify.com/episode/0Hg0...

People seem to be blaming everything on Welsh rugby as a whole, you really need to focus on the coaching decisions. Attack was out dated and predictable. Where are all the Welsh players in form??

As usual, had a great chat with David on the @scrumoftheearth.bsky.social .

So, I will take that I guess, always happy to keep the Weeg fans quiet for a little while!

Actually, Edinburgh Rugby can cheer me up now and then! Schooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Exactly how I feel about Edinburgh Rugby just now!! Brilliant photo courtesy of Rugby People.

Everitt out! It’s the first decision of many I would make at Edinburgh.

This unimaginative dirge of a game plan has to end. Edinburgh and Scotland fans deserve more.

I enjoy reading Sandy’s column, if you are an Edinburgh and or Scottish rugby fan it’s a must read.

Graphic nicked from @womensrugbyshow.bsky.social Here's the teams for Edinburgh v Glasgow. As well as core squads, Edinburgh have Cieron Bell, Lucia Scott, Lucy Christie, Shona Campbell and Sarah Denholm, while Glasgow are boosted by Mairi McDonald and PWR youngsters Grace Deane and Orla Proctor

Horrible conditions last night in Gloucester, a second string team fielded against a full strength Gloucester, Edinburgh did well to get a losing bonus point. Defence was very good but we still really need to get a grip on the discipline!

Ooooft, that was a rollercoaster Edinburgh Rugby!!!!

I miss playing very much today. Big love goes out to all my rugby family, I would be a lesser person today without this sport in my life.

Well, that will do nicely! Zander showing that he is one of the best Tightheads in the world at the moment. Matt Fagerson showed he can take on the big boys and win and Jamie Ritchie is still a class player. Well done Scotland.
