Scottie right now:

18 for the season (11 in the league) for Simon Murray. Won’t be shortlisted for the main awards but that’s some total for a team that’s toiled badly

Now then…

Jimmy Thelin sounds like the polar opposite of his (interim) predecessor. Less talk, more action. That’s good. The journos who’ve been around him rave about his ability to build a formidable team. Would be a compelling appointment

Howitzer from Pittodrie

Great to chat to Grant Gilchrist on this week’s pod as he gears up for his 200th Edinburgh Rugby appearance against the Sharks this weekend.

Rearranged for next Wednesday. What could possibly go wrong?

Confirmed. A terrific signing. The rugby Gods owe Adam Hastings an injury-free run.

Big weekend for the Scotland women’s team v England in the SN and for Edinburgh away to the Sharks in the Challenge Cup. Andy Burke goes behind the scenes. Plus, a look back at Glasgow’s exit from Europe and John McGuigan’s state of the nation address bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

A glass bottle thrown - and not for the first time. This stuff is incredibly grim. I’d hope we can all agree on that much. The perpetrator(s) will be caught by the police, hopefully, but football authorities will say they can’t do anything.Rinse and repeat bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Two massive games this weekend. Scotland v England in the W6N and Sharks v Edinburgh in Europe. Back in situ on the pod with Andy Burke Any thoughts?

Brilliant game at Ibrox. Both sides deserve a lot of praise and both emerge with their title hopes intact. Roll on the next chapter of this drama on Wednesday night. Piece from Ibrox… bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

👀🤷🏻‍♂️

Quins made four times the number of tackles as Glasgow, lost around six lineouts, conceded 17 unanswered points in 10 second half minutes and still won. Fair play to them. Glasgow had them on the end of their hook and let them free.
