Guys often carry am injury for a good while before having work done. Sometimes to avoid disruption, other times as it could heal itself. Must have decided it wouldn't and what with being out already they may as well get him squared away.

Yeah I know but going by the 4-6 month rehab time I would imagine it's that long due to the shoulder op as facial fractures (rather than breaks) seem to heal in <4months or so. Russell was back in 4ish.
If that was a known issues strange from a risk POV that they didn't recruit an additional full back. Even with Tigve available it would be a risk. Still time though. Can Yanawawa the dev player or Nairn play there?

I wouldn't play Nairn there even if the alternative was a prop.

Aye he's not ready.
The coaching staff must have had an idea who would be 3rd full back if needed, I'm just speculating. May even be Horne Snr

That wouldn't be the worst idea ever, he's a very good footballer & seems a sensible way to get him into the team with Dunbar & Jones likely to start at centre.
Mud hie still doesn't have a team right? Some short term cover? Other obvious options would seem to be Horne (didn't he play u20s at full-back) or Seymour. Is Schulte still tied to Glasgow and could he cover? Looking at the epd's they seem to mostly be forwards.
Alternatively is the anyone in prem1 that has played well and deserves a shot to see if they can mix it in the pros? Whatever happened to the godsmarks or Jamie Fleming?

Or the media are right. He's definitely been in Toulouse though.
Doubt there's much in that. Family living in places like that always makes for a great excuse for a wee holiday.
Toulouse are worse run than I thought if they think its smart to have their first choice lock pairing will be away to another country on international duty for a third of the season.
Sort of Glasgow-relevant. Chiefs wining 9-3 in Cape Town at the moment. If the Stormers win, Dave rennie's over soon. If not, he stays on in Hamilton for another week.
