Big win tonight given the run of fixtures coming up is looking like an absolute hoor.
Going to need that grit over the next few weeks.

Good God its quiet on this thread.
Late in the day but safe to assume that the likelihood of anything happening either way is remote?
Also, did Robertson not suggest that players were asked to take a wage drop before he left, which was later deemed untrue? Seem to remember something along those lines as a reason to why he bolted.

I want a scary quick winger in, we had Power but for whatever reason he was binned. We need pace.
Was speaking to a hibs supporting friend of mine about Shaw. Apparently he can play left wing? But is better through the middle.
Would still like to see another 1 or 2 brought in in any case.

Listening on the radio, but updates rarer than a County wide man. Can someone tell me what we're playing? 4-5-1? 4-4-1-1?

Has this been confirmed, yet?
Cant see it anywhere, but quietly optimistic about this potential signing.

Speaking of wingers, was the Glen Middleton rumour a lot of mince?

Would hope that Hornby lad at Everton gets some game time soon, whither that be out on loan or at Goodison. He looks a decent prospect.

Kevin McKinlay? The same Kevin McKinlay that used to play for Ross County?
ETA - The very same indeed. Decent player back in the day.

Scotland: Paterson (Edinburgh); Evans (Glasgow Warriors), Cairns (Edinburgh), De Luca (Edinburgh), S Lamont (Northampton); Godman (Edinburgh), Blair (Edinburgh, capt); Jacobsen (Edinburgh), Ford (Edinburgh), E Murray (Northampton), Hines (Perpignan), Hamilton (Edinburgh), White (Sale), Taylor (Stade Francais), Barclay (Glasgow Warriors)
I would say that is close to a full strength Scotland apart from the obvious candidate - Godman. I would say NZ are fielding a 2XV with the likes of MacKintosh, Messam and Read. Rokocoko just had to get back from injury for this game
There is no point in having a back line of runners such as De luca, Cairns, Lamont, Evans and Paterson if your not going to play a fly half who will pass the ball to them. IMO Godman is the best option we have at 10 at the moment if you want to see Scotland playing running rugby and creating chances to score tries. That was proven on Saturday ( Granted our finishing still needs improving) when Godman decided to open the game from the very start. Parks is the man you put in there if Scotland want to hold a lead. You'd be aswell playing that Mac Henderson ( Oldest living Scotland cap, 101) on the wing when Parks is at 10.
As for the game, going forward Scotland looked OK. Didn't take our chances and we never got the bounce of the ball. Defending was poor though. That try 2 minutes into the second half was a joke and actually quite demoralising. Apart from NZ's first try, the other 3 could have been avoided. At the breakdown Scotland did alright too, but we need to put all this together with a better defence to really test the top teams.
SA next, don't come much better than that! Hopfully Rory Lamont and Simon Taylor will be fit, and we can take a chance or two!

Love ice hockey. Went to Vancouver with my school on a rugby tour and stayed with a guy who was into it in a big way. Ever since then I've been hooked, and a hardcore Canucks fan! Wished I had the chance to go and watch one of their games whilst over there.
Go Canucks!

Travelling up for this, assuming theres no doubts about the game going ahead?
We were pretty pish against hibs, particularly second half. If Morris is fit I'd have him in for Fontaine, if we're sticking with 5-3-2. Or even if we're not.
Looked a different prospect when Mullin and Shaw came on, but game had probably slipped away from us by that point, so I'd give them a start. We were soo narrow and predictable before the changes were made. The midfield didn't work either. Vigurs was too deep and Paton was left isolated with little support, despite the fact we were meant to have 2 up top.
Could change a lot from Wednesday, in all honesty.
