Not sure mate but that's probably more a question you'd find on loose women than in the sports pages.

Here, not to immediately Greg this temporary appointment, but the backs were the problem last season, and for the most part, they are the problem this season.

Can we make to Greg something an oft used verb for the SMB?

I share your pessimism but last season they played without a proper ten for most of the season and the linkage between forwards and backs didn't work. Maybe a change of emphasis at the top will make a difference and if it doesn't it's better to find out now than in March. This season is effectively a write off already anyways.

I really dislike Fowles. Not sure if it's because I think he's shite or because of his cuntish behaviour at the 7s or a mix of both.

I don't like him because he's not good enough to be a pro. What did he do at the 7s?

So how'd they go?

Highlights here. I believe the Flanker has done just enough to disrupt the defensive line on their(connacht) first try and is borderline obstructing.
Beautiful hands on their second try.

Bryce does well to save a poor pass for our second try.

Skill from Bryce.

I must say, I am looking forward to seeing Edinburgh play this weekend. Solomon's departure as refreshed my approach. Reality will strike back in a couple of weeks when I see them live against Timisoara.

Sean Kennedy starting is a good thing. BP accessible?

I don't think it looks that good a team but at least it is interesting. McQuillan seems to have had a strange start to the season. Did he not play one match for watsonians, move to LONDON and now he'said starting for Edinburgh (or I could be getting the wrong guy)

Pleased to see Kinghorn start over Bryce, he's looked in better form so far this season. Kennedy seems to be getting a fair shot as well, will be interesting to see how he gets on tomorrow. Finally it's great to see Manu back, feels like he's hardly actually played for us.

I thought Bryce was looking really handy or is that just highlights?

Is the plan to allow kinghorn to play at fly half eventually, or is he now a full back for evermore?

Has Dean played 12 before? Anyone know anything about McCallum?

Last week or the week before.

U20s LH, cracking player, strong set piece and seemed to score tries at will. So naturally they're looking to turn him into a TH and despite almost zero time that we know of there, he's the bench cover v Treviso

He does remind me a bit of mossy. Same long stride and big wind up to pass the ball. He's bigger and might make a very good full-back. I don't think that we should let our desperation for competition at ten stop him from staying at 15 if that's where he's best.

Don't want to greg McCallum but was he not part of the U20s scrum that got minced by everyone they played?

With Embra - is it not the case of last man standing amongst the props. They may repeat the unfortunate experiment of Dell at TH.

His side was never the issue. Pack as a whole was poor, but stick Fagerson in and it was killing other teams.

Nice wee start Hoyland

Edinburgh score, crowd look like they didn't enjoy discovering fire....


sigh.

somebody enthuse......?

Half way to the BP in 10 minutes. When's the last five that happened?

Hodge for PM

Bradbury gets the BP in 32 minutes

They're still scoring their tries from moments of brilliance from a player or two so no not really - the jury is still out. Brilliant piece of play to score that from nothing by Bradbury. That isn't coaching. Superbly taken try though.
