Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

. Presumably Scott won’t play any part in the 6N due to university. Where does this come from? I've seen it a few times, mostly when not playing for Embra. He's in the final year of a Law degree at Edinburgh Uni. Been challenging for him to manage a full time professional Rugby career with a full-t...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Pains me to say it, but NDL probably has to be retained if Scott starts. I'd hope to see a fit Ansbro on the bench coming on to replace NDL after Scott settles in and ideally just before NDL messes up. And Lamont sr needs to start on the wing where he was in excellent form. Not sure who I'd start a...

It's rubbish. The HK53 and the MG36 are the only two weapons that are halfway decent from the B2K pack

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

With hindsight, Scott was never going to get in for this match. And I wonder whether Weir will sit it out too. Isn't Godman in the squad? Or was he released?

Scott isn't in the squad and I doubt he'll be called in. Who in his place? It is not without precedent for Scott to be called up. After the A game result there is every reason, but I suppose we'd go with S Lamont at IC otherwise and Evans would keep his place. I wouldn't play Morrison that is for s...
