It's ridiculous with Douglas isn't it. Sure, take it slowly and play him from the benchbut at least give him 20/25 minutes not 10/15, especially when you are comfortable, and even more sonwhen he's making a positive impact each time.
See Jack Brown got his debut, for 2 minutes.

Vellacott was the one with white line fever. And the captain who cannot see beyond 1m from close in pick and goes, againBaldiePete wrote: ↑Fri Apr 04, 2025 11:25 pm A good first half, leading 17-0 but should have got two tries more but Goosen and Darcy got white line fever and didn’t pass to the supporting player. The usual 2nd half malaise gave Lions a wee sniff but Price’s try settled the nerves. Douglas got about 10 minutes at the end and almost immediately won a penalty. Everitt needs to give him a start.
Given the choice of Bayonne or Bulls in the quarter I think I’d prefer Bayonne.

He's a Lion.BaldiePete wrote: ↑Tue Apr 01, 2025 9:55 pmFor DVDM the question is, which tour? Given the injury he might not make the Lions tour. If he doesn’t but he’s fit I’d give him a rest from the Scotland tour.

Re: Edinburgh 2024/25
Douglas should be starting. Especially as Ritchie is playing very well on the other flank it's as low risk an introduction as we could want.Cameo wrote: ↑Sat Apr 05, 2025 4:24 am It's ridiculous with Douglas isn't it.

Dylan Richardson signs for Edinburgh from next season on a 2 year deal. That’s good for both Edinburgh and Scotland.

Is Cherry already confirmed as off?

Re: Edinburgh 2024/25
Cherry hasn’t been offered a contract extension so he’ll be off at the end of this season. I don’t think anything has been confirmed about where he’s heading.
