At Edinburgh Hodge is "attack" and McRae is skills, I think, and I guess Cockerill does forwards as well as overall - do they also have someone specialising in lineout throwing, think I read that somewhere. And am I right in thinking that Paterson is a sort of roving skills coach?

I fear that it will be decided at 7/8. I would lov to see the Glasgow backs run riot, but they need the ball first.

You see I worry about the opposite. Glasgow don't need much ball to run riot. If we try control the game through endless round the corner one out runners then we will eventually get turned over or kick it away. If the later then VDW has a propensity to throw in a few loose kicks, although he gets the backs moving better than Hickey.

He really hasnt offered anything has he. When he was signed I was worried he might reduce Scott and Bennett's time together but he is firmly 5th choice. Only other option is Turner who apparently impressed in his one game
