I'd also like to refer you to the end of the first half when the ball was put into the scrum successfully and George Horne nicked it and would have made it 26-5...but, no, the ball 'didn't go in'...

Owens is past it.

"Came straight out" was the call IIRC. Which it couldn't possibly have done given it went trhough the wing forward as it came out.

I don't think he's past it, he's rarely been good when he's reffed Glasgow. That's not a "he's against us", it's a "he clearly can't be arsed" any time he refs when it's not a "big game".

From what information i can find online  Edinburgh Rugby has a player budget of £4.8m, while Glasgow Warriors operates on approximately £5.1 million. The Irish sides have a player budget of about £7m each the Welsh are about £5m each (Dragons are lower than the other 3)

Seen a fair bit of sniping between Glasgow and Edinburgh fans the last few days. I know Glasgow fans pay more, does anyone have the current figures for both teams? Why the disparity? Is it down to Glasgow having to pay to use Scotstoun?

This season the playing budget for Glasgow is reported to be £6.5m and £6m for Edinburgh.

Saracens new chief executive has said they need to shed players this season to get under the cap. It's hard to imagine many players will be up for taking a wage cut though.

The SRU should be trying to get Maitland to Glasgow to play full back. 

Make Alex Goode an offer. He never gets picked for England so would be available in International windows.

Toony to take Scotland to a training camp in Spain before the 6N. They'll travel direct from Spain to Dublin for the 1st game. This is just after a shake-up of his coaching staff just before Xmas. After last year's poor 6N then poor WC, I wonder if Toony's been told from the top he needs to have a good 6N? Wouldn't surprise me...

I would have hoped so. I’ve never seen a team so lacking in pragmatic nous.
