A #Scotland Debut for former Highland player Rianna Darroch in only her second season at Glasgow!

Though he does lose points for having actually played in the game, rather than just wandered randomly onto the pitch in a really shit suit to do it.

To be fair, Prendergast is really stepping up as the heir to Sexton by bleating to the ref after the final whistle…

As a Scot I’m a-OK with recency bias…

On the other hand, the French have Shaun Edwards as their defence coach…and conceded 13 tries in their last 2 games. I think this is just where rugby is at the moment.

Thinking crannógs float is a nonsense on stilts 😉

Looking forward to seeing Bundee come on to *checks notes* scream abuse at the referee…

Dear goodness can you *imagine*

Christopher Timothy’s attempts at a Scottish accent on the All Creatures Great & Small books goes a long way to show why James Herriot wasn’t Scottish in the original series 😂

@samlstandsup.bsky.social Making a start on your book Sam, and I already know it’s going to be part of my Dad’s birthday present -it’s bloody brilliant.

(You had me at the explanation of correlation and why it’s not necessarily causation;-)

My son has recently got very into rugby again, but hasn’t really got the hang of pod play yet - you wouldn’t happen to know of any decent YouTube resources to help guide him on this? Thanks Sam!

…had I looked down just one post on your feed I would’ve had my answer 🙈😂

Absolutley loved this episode and will definitely be ordering your book. Slightly daft question - almost of my “reading” these days is by listening, but are there diagrams etc which won’t be covered by the audiobook? Though must admit I fancy the hardback

Interestingly laws seem to say kick is disallowed and scrum is awarded- but with it being just a scrum, wouldn’t that mean the game is over?

Rugby Union refs: If Cammy Scott had simply let the kick clock run down with the clock in the red, would it have been game over or would it have been a penalty to Benetton?

Laughed at all the others’ then had to laugh at mine too 😂

#shit Gregor Townsend suggesting “entitlement” as the reason Scottish fans were upset with blowing a 21-0 lead at home

#Shit Gregor Townsend’s ongoing employment

And *that’s* how you see out a game Gregor

Shane Christie, rugby concussion campaigner who wanted to donate his brain, found dead at 39 Former Maori All Blacks player Shane Christie, who had wanted his brain to be studied after suffering from multiple concussions, has died aged 39

This is desperately sad. Only 39.

We need to take brain injuries seriously.

@patriciavieira.bsky.social @rhigarthjones.bsky.social Loving the takeover! “They died as they lived, probably annoyed about something” had me in fits, as did “with the angles” 😂😂😂

One of the worrying things is he appears to have “the yips” with his lineout throwing

Have been watching Scotland since 88, and feel we’ve usually been lighter than the English or French packs of the same time (barring a brief spell around Frank Hadden’s tenure as head coach)

You didn’t happen to be watching the Lions game at Sale RFC on Saturday?

Hopefully a speed bump rather than a full stop but Edinburgh doesn’t seem to have been a fertile ground for kicking on careers of late - Sam Skinner, Ben Healy, etc. Here’s hoping Ashman bucks that trend

I think he’s struggled to shake off a label which was applicable earlier in his career but hasn’t been for some time. Most of his more recent “moments” with Scotland come from light rather than heavy infantry in front of him

Few things make me happier than the way you approach social media!

He’s been too busy out-benching Rob Valentini and Will Skelton to speak up before

I get the Tom Curry hype now btw

Ryan’s a player he knows, I guess, but my feels was Cummings had been better on tour
