If he plays, let's hope he comes through unscathed.

And there is the yang to the mucho-Moolah yin when you play in France.

Racing’s call as they are shelling out top dollar but you do wonder about the wisdom of shoving him back in when he has a history of serious head injury.

Meat grinder doesnt care about long term healty, he rolled the tomobola and now he dances to the tune

"Sam Skinner's a week off being fit" is a quote from Baxter (I think) at the end of this article about something entirely different. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/47387719 But it's the only update I'd heard.

Graham playing quite well for Newcastle. Harris handling like he's made entirely of elbows.

Those are some very decent highlights. Hopefully see more of him for the rest of the season

We'll need to get him before Eddie Jones does.

RV retiring from rugby at the end of this season. Has been working for Aberdeen Standard whilst playing at LS.

Good to see CDP is alive, and SHC is... now at Quins???

Good (temporary)move for him IMO

James Malcolm joining LS next season from Glasgow

Hutchison getting some more good write-ups and guardin talking about England for him. Barely seem him play myself but if he is good enough, we could do with more depth at 13 as while Scott and Bennett are potentially quality back ups, its been a while for both and they have their injury problems.

Fantastic 30 yard pass for Collins second try at the weekend. There seems to he two or three highlight worthy moments every week at the minute and I like the idea of having the second playmaker at 13 to bring the back 3 into the game.

He's being talked about on the rugby pod this week. Just seen a tweet saying his ambition is to play for Scotland and toonie has been in touch.

Must be.

He spoke really well to be fair. Mentioned he was grateful to the exiles programme and the age grade national sides for helping him.

If we had a test match tomorrow I'd be giving him a debut. He's our form 13 and Grigg was horrific in defence v England.

Is he more of a centre than wing?

Didn't rule himself out of an England cap though

Came through the age groups as a ten I believe. Don't think that he has ever played wing.

Oh. I thought he’d made his previous Glasgow appearances there until moving in one. Might well have got that wrong.


Looks a good powerful runner.

Glasgow appearances??? Are you mixing up Steyn and Hutchinson?
