Poor Nick Grigg not only got carried off, but had to cope with the Gordy Reid style of sympathy ("Aye, he's fine. I just told him he'd pished himself!" said the big fella at halftime when we asked how Nick was!)

That's a terrifying/hilarious thought.OptimisticJock wrote:He's got a career with us after rugby.....hp18 wrote:OptimisticJock wrote:It won't be the first time.

He started last week as well. Did a decent job at 8. You know much about him?Big D wrote:Good to see Wynne involved even if it is a friendly.
Not really, other than I know through coaches that he has been well thought of.hp18 wrote:He started last week as well. Did a decent job at 8. You know much about him?Big D wrote:Good to see Wynne involved even if it is a friendly.

It is just good to see our U20s/younger players get a run.
I like the look of the Edinburgh back row for tonight too. Could be a back row we see regularly in the future.
Club rugby talent takes centre stage in Stirling tomorrow night as Warriors announce their squad to face Canada ‘A’ in their final warm-up game before the start of the season.Lee Jones will start for the Warriors tomorrow evening
Captained by Scotland international Peter Murchie, the starting XV boasts four club players and a partnership player, and will see Fijian scrum-half Nemia Kenatale make his debut.
Despite the GUINNESS PRO12 kicking off this weekend, head coach Gregor Townsend has named a strong side to face Canada ‘A’, with the squad amassing 187 Warriors caps.
It will be a very special evening for Callum Hunter-Hill pulling on a Warriors jersey at the club he plys his trade and he is joined in the backrow by Ayr’s Peter McCallum and Zander Fagerson’s younger brother Matt, who plays for Glasgow Hawks.
Sam Thomson, also of Hawks, will partner USA international Greg Peterson in the second-row behind the front row of Alex Allan, James Malcolm and D’arcy Rae.
Hawks fans will be excited to see that nine of their players are involved in the Warriors matchday squad, with partnership player Hagen Schulte playing outside Kenatale at fly-half.
Lee Jones returns to the XV-a-side game after spending time with team GB 7s, while Junior Bulumakau occupies the other wing.
Captain Murchie completes the back-three while Fraser Lyle and Nick Grigg start in the midfield.
Rory Hughes will be looking to bring his international experience to the match from the bench and Peter Horne’s younger brother George also features among the replacements.
Cammy Fenton, who is currently on loan at London Scottish, has been released to feature in this game and Melrose and Currie fans will look forward to seeing Jamie Bhatti and Thomas Gordon play in Warriors colours.

Indeed. Strange to see Ragnars younger bro in the lineup, he's only about 12 himself. Starting to get Blackadder flashbacks,....Big D wrote:It's always good to see Scots get a chance.
Maybe 3/4 put of the full squad ain't affiliated.OptimisticJock wrote:Are they all Glasgow players?

Really? Grant, Puafisi, Chewy, Price, (maybe Wynne) will all up the pace, Clegg needed as FH cover, Lamont for reliable versatility.switchskier wrote:Don't like that bench if you're looking for impact but other than that not too bad. Is it a surprise that Johnson starts at 12 with Dunbar at 13? I assume that Bennett has been given some time off?
Price will but Grant and Puafisi will weaken the scrum which is the basis for a huge amount that Connaght did last season. I haven't seen the other two in the pack play yet (where does that nickname come from) and I've never rated Clegg. Lamont is reliable I agree.hp18 wrote:Really?

At the same time connachts first choice props are either tired or replaced. Chewy is pretty much how you pronounce his first name iirc.switchskier wrote:Price will but Grant and Puafisi will weaken the scrum which is the basis for a huge amount that Connaght did last season.
