Aye, likewise. Even at 40-14 feels like we may fuck it somehow.

Kinghorn going off is a big loss at this point in the season, didn’t look great.

That is EXACTLY how I felt......pleasantly surprised though.

Are those meant to be highlights? I just got a car advert and then Ben Morgan shouting at some children.

Dean looked very useful again.

I hope Bradbury is ready to really give the Scotland 6 shirt a go in the summer.

It was highlights when I copied and pasted the link from the top........? Looks like they have been found on youtube now though.

Having checked it is still highlights, on my machine anyway.

He may want to reconsider that following their dodgy re-branding effort.

Not sure if it is mentioned in the article but Bristol Bears is the name adopted by the gay community in Bristol. Rather amusing.

Weird. Is that something to consider when it comes to the topic of young kids googling their rugby team?

Lol. John Goodman and Nick Frost the only two examples they could possibly think of.

As in in case they find out about gay people?

As in while the pictures are SFW they are not exactly tasteful. Plenty of pictures of scantily clad men in bondage gear, etc.

This is an absolute disaster from the Bristol business management. Unfortunately it looks like they are the stubborn type. Leeds Utd (wendyball club) did a U-turn over their crest change after the fan backlash which is amendable. Bristol should do the same.

Anyway that's the last one from me, don't want to send the 'burgh thread off on a tangent of this nature as much as EinE would like that.

Good news and tbh he would have been getting a bit of attention after the Edinburgh turnaround this season.

Good news. He’s improved discipline and changed them from being a bit of a pushover into a decent and more consistent team. Hope they manage to get 9-10 sorted for next season, Bennett stays fit and the young lads step up, as Europe will test the squad.

Aye, great news.

Mildly off topic, but relevant, I do wonder where we would be had we not kicked Andy Robinson upstairs so quickly.

Also on the Bristol bears. Haha, for the love of god, won’t someone think of the children.

Edinburgh’s new prop potentially in a spot of bother...

So Du Preez is off to join Solomons at Worcester. What do the players like about him that we clearly do not see? Could be the only contract on offer I suppose.

Team for Glasgow. Time for Ritchie and Bradbury to step up and show that they deserve to tour in the summer (I may have said the same at Christmas) but I'm worried about the backrow and our ability to contain Horne. Good to see Johnstone selected, no idea why it's taken so long for him to become a pro 14 regular.

SHC, Van der Walt, VDM, Dean,Johnstone, Fife, Kinghorn

Cochrane, Dell, Nel, Carmichael, CDP, Fowles, Weir, Bennett

Allez Edinburgh! Send those Weegies back home pointless!
I've just spent an excellent 4-night break in Edinburgh and would like to see them in the top flight European competition next season - maybe playing Toulouse!

I'd rather we get to travel to a place with rugby in its DNA, like Bordeaux.... ;)
