Bradbury went to Oban High then got a scholarship to a private school. Richie Gray was at state schools as well before private schools.

 

Yeah dunno how I missed Bradbury. Another at Merchiston.

Aye Murray McCallum was in the same school as me, to avoid any doubt, it wasn't a private school. 

 

He did though play rugby for other schools because our school didn't have a rugby team.

 Did he not get a scholarship later on? I know a guy who played front row with him at school and got that impression.

Aye pretty sure he did, I didn't think to ask him whenever I seen him after I'd left tbf.

The starting line up doesn't look too bad considering the number of injuries we have. Relieved to see that Maitland is back and playing at fullback, and that Sam Johnson is back in ahead of Horne.

Jonny Gray can have no complaints about being dropped to the bench but Toolis offers nothing. Skinner & Watson starting is great but I can't understand why we've dropped Strauss (who's been decent) for Bradbury (who's been largely annoymous).

We're going to get hammered anyway...

Would probably have preferred Strauss at 8, shift Bradbury to blind side and Skinner to 2nd row dropping Toolis, but much of a muchness.

Ideally Ireland beat wales denying them a grandslam, then we beat england denying them the title. But unlikely to happy - and on 2nd thoughts that would give Ireland the title so that wouldn't do.

If wales win though the pressure is off England and they may run riot

What’s happened to Richie Gray?

He was injured, but came back a few weeks ago for Toulouse, probably letting him concentrate on getting back in with his club after a lengthy absence, and having not been in the squad for about 2 years probably would struggle with calls, moves, game plan etc in a short space of time. But I would have had him called up.

Tuning in to see the Scotland under 20s. It's slightly unusual seeing a Redpath playing against Scotland as she I grew up I was so used to seeing his dad play for us. But I understand his choice growing up down south, probably never a doubt for him.
