Edinburgh or Glasgow?

[Cameo]

Whose position is worse and who can we expect/hope to recover sooner?

I feel Edinburgh have the better squad - still a top pack on paper and some firepower in the backs - but have no idea how to use it. A formidable pack is not that hard to stop when they play that slowly and the firepower is nullified outside that midfield.

Glasgow have a less established pack (mainly in the backrow) and not many star backs (especially back three) but still seem to have a semblance of a plan. There still seems to be a memory of fast rugby and some intent.

Basically, I think a new coach or some kind of mental reset could get Edinburgh back on track fairly quickly. Glasgow need a few new players, especially if they lose Hastings (they don't even seem to have that many promising youngsters). Which is more likely? Dunno but it may be a depressing wait!

I will puit this here but could make the same comment in numerous places

Scotland has built a core strategy that will benefit when the fucking stupidity of dementiagate crumbles.

I expected it last year, and I'm coming to the conclusion that WR don't really want to make the interpretations safer as it will pretty much cut the leg of the Top 14/SA/Eng

Until that happens Scotland doesn't have enough big guys to match the top teams. Rugby is a closed shop for anyone who cant buy big. its been that way for years and WR will do anything it can to protect the entities listed above.

I suppose post lawsuit WR will be forced to make the massive changes required to save the game, but they will be dragged kicking and screaming over the broken brains of professional rugby players

What changes do you think WR should make to the game?

Lower tackle height
12/13 aside
3 weeks for any concussion

insist Refs apply the laws would do for starters, go a long way in fact.

Have we not abandoned that strategy to some extent? Edinburgh certainly aren't built for a quick game.
