Scots Abroad VIII (or let's spot the new messiah)

Hodgson signed with Newcastle. Probably a good move. Still got potential, but not much space for him at Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Not the most flattering photo in the bbc article:

Mr Greig not done so good in Japan. Relegated to 2nd div previous season, lost nearly all games last season and only stayed in Div 2 after play off. Gatland to come in as head honcho. No idea what will happen to Laidlaw, but a big risk for Urayasu D-Rocks, appointing someone who could only get a gig in Uruguay

That’s a shame to hear.
