The SRU

I can’t believe that they’ve just announced that Scotland will play a warm-up test against the Lions before they go to SA next year. It’s a disgrace. By all means use Murrayfield, but it should be a barbarians team, not Scotland. Guess it shows Gatland’s thinking already.

Imagine we turn them over.

Yes, the lions will continue to be "them" to me for the forseeable future.

Bravo sir.

Genius. Well done.

My justification - I've lost complete track of time, dates and days.

Bravo sir.

if I've been whooshed fair enough. There were articles in the press (in Feb IIRC) indeed suggesting that a warm up for the LIons at Murrayfield against Scotland was a distinct possibility

[General Zod]

Wahey!

Would be some match if it happened!

[Croft_No.5]

I reckon Toonie would be right up for it!

Oh come on - it finally gives other Scottish players than Hogg a chance to be involved with a Lions tour!

Well played sir. Got me hook, line, sinker, rod, and copy of Angling Times.

I’ll add that I wrote an angry response and then quickly deleted it when I realised.

[General Zod]

Heh-heh.

On a slightly different tack... I wonder if they’ll even consider moving to a summer schedule for the club game as a result of all this. It must be easier to get punters along on the promise of a bit of sunshine and a bbq (and a better standard of rugby) if they could play at that time. Similarly, I reckon skills training would yield better results.

So, the SRU read the board then...
