I noticed from an article in The Scotsman that Danny Wilson is set to be moved on from his position as Scotland assistant coach so my question now is, who will replace him and are there likely to be more coaching changes to be made, or will we have to wait until after the 6N when Gregor's position will become more certain?
With Edinburgh doing so well, I am certain that Richard Cockerill will be a leading contender for the head coach job if GT leaves, but that is a topic for after the 6N imho.

Re: Coaching reshuffle
Cockerill got the benefit of players moved down the M8, a budget increase higher than any previous Edin coach, more freedom to sign and the result is he moves Edin one step forward and one back. The same weaknesses are still there - too many of his squad, including several capped players, do not have it, switch off and lose focus for long periods. Now of an age where that isn't going to change. One week 80min excellent, next could lose to Auchenshuggle 2nds.
Cockerill's fault or not, he has done very little to suggest he is in line for Scotland. Not that there is a vacancy.
Wilson moving to head coach at Glasgow. No idea who will replace him, but I expect - hope - Matt Taylor is off to Aus with Rennie and Scott Johnson.
