According to my calculations (yes I am bored) 29.8k tickets sold for the Toulouse game.

Must be 30k plus as that does not include standing.

In similar vein, when we have my sons' pals from Edinburgh up to our place in Perthshire most describe in 'best weekend of my life' type terms. All they do is chop wood, climb trees, ride the horses, bugger around in the woods, cycle, have bonfires, etc but it is so far away from city life they reve...

Maybe Willie could answer a question - when the fudge exactly is lambing season? I'm seeing loads of lambs about at the moment but I'm pretty sure it was much later in the year when I saw them last year. We've lambs on the ground and out already..

If your after a nice floury dry spud you can't go far wrong with Arran Victory. Great bluey purplish skin that they burst right out of when they're boiled!! Only had them once or twice, they are a good floury potato and if you boil and serve them in their skins they get an interesting reaction. Wai...

Prices arent good on tatties though are they? The mainstay of the irish (North & South) economy...

You can thank the dairy cows. Had a great year profit wise.with them. The wee tractor we got the day cost 55k + vat. Get some of it spend b4 the tax man gets his grubby little hands on it!!!

My son has only just turned 12 so that'll be why he's not had a letter. That and not being good enough. Plenty time for him yet, Weegie. Another couple of assaults and he'll be a shoe-in. Or even a shoo in. This is what I don't get. He breaks opposition front rows, he loves the tight stuff and smas...

A letter arrived for my son today, inviting him onto the first rung of the Pathway ladder. Very pwoud, very pwoud. Snap. (Although mine got his letter yesterday) Biggest challenge will be getting him to get his photae taken for the registration form. First week in April, JRP? Congrats as well!!!

We don't know. Playing well in the Pro12 appears to be optional for Edinburgh.

Ah, so he's at school with Weegie's son.

Only if he comes back from school via A&E.

Who are you and what have you done with jrp? In the spirit of having one's login hacked, might I say that I was more than a little surprised about Morrison. I saw him make several passes and don't think he coughed up the ball in contact. Like's JRP's hacker, I wonder how much of that was to do with...

Edinburgh01

I told myself I didn't expect to win and I'd be happy if we played OK and scored a couple of tries. We did both, but I'm not f**king happy. There is some evidence we're playing better (two tries) but if we're going to lose every competitive match all the same, what difference does it make? I keep s...

The last few games have been poor. Getting the best out of the team when we're missing players is where MB should be proving his worth, and isn't.

Edinburgh01

26 - 13 in case anyone's interested.

This is getting ridiculous

Edinburgh01

But a scrum penalty as the Edinburgh front row are getting worked over. 19 - 13.

Edinburgh01

Try Connacht.

edit - but not given.

Edinburgh01

And just as I slag him off, WCP gets a penalty 16 - 13.

Edinburgh01

Connacht have missed on penalty, Edinburgh have missed 3 and 2 conversions.

Hunter missed one from in front, WCP apparently also knocked on 5m from an open try line. Sounds like Edinburgh are doing their best to give this away.

Edinburgh01

And Paterson goes over. 16-10.

And Godman misses the kick, there's a surprise.

Edinburgh01

Bugger, 16 -5 and Brown in the bin.

Edinburgh01

And Godman misses a penalty, again.

A post of mine where I queried ZT on the team he posted. Seems like it wasn't a joke after all, at least not by ZT.

In other news, Murrayfield sold out for the France match for the first time since 1994 apparently.

Edinburgh01

Edinburgh Rugby are delighted to announce that try-machine Tim Visser has extended his commitment to the club with a new deal that will keep him at Murrayfield for another three years. The 24-year-old was already committed to staying on until 2013 under his previous deal however the club wasted no ...

Just had a look at the ticket site. Just shy of 10k tickets sold, and it looks like they've just opened the North lower.

Edinburgh01

I think fewer French are travelling which put more tickets back in the public sale. I remember the days when.... I take it the SRU will open the lower west soon for the HEC game. There's you assuming the SRU have a clue. I hear they are not opening the west stand because of the standing nonsense. I...

If Laidlaw is in I'd put Blair in as well. Nothing against Cusiter, I just think it better to keep the established pair together. If Laidlaw is at 10, and De Luca 13, Scott could fit in at 12 OK. I accept he may not be fully up to speed with all the moves, but playing with Edinburgh players either s...

The maul is by far the better tool for splitting logs. Axes will get stuck in the wood, and if you've hit it hard enough will be a bugger to get out. Mauls don't get stuck as if you've driven them in far enough to jam an axe, the maul will have split the log. Whilst they work better with an edge, th...

Did anyone see that useless wit kant Morrison's article in the SoS? The veteran stand-off was picked ahead of Greig Laidlaw to do a specific task against England and at half-time he was well worth his wages This guy actually played international rugby. I know.

Not anymore.

Edinburgh01

Based on what I've seen of the expected England team there isn't a player from 1-9 of theirs that I would pick ahead of ours, their 10 is every bit as flaky as Parks, Centre combination works at Club level but untested internationally, back three is potentially superb but 2 of the 3 are not in top ...

Edinburgh01

Would have preferred Blair and Laidlaw to be starting at half-back but on the whole very pleased with the selection. The front-five should be really strong at set-piece and I imagine Robinson will be looking to play territory and put pressure on an inexperienced England team. Always happy to see Ja...
