Rugby Union

Early days but pretty positive signs so far. I was as cynical as just about anyone when the plans were announced but with a good mate playing in it (who is pretty close to pro level) couldn't help but get excited in the weeks before it started. Standard is apparently significantly improved on the Premiership, even if the personnel is fairly similar. Stirling and Muir unsurprisingly a wee bit behind but the latter beat leaders Watsonians in their last game and in the first few rounds almost every game was decided by 7 or less points. Crowds in the first few rounds were significantly up on what the clubs got in the Premiership, not sure if they are holding up or not but they seem to be marketing it far better. Being played from November-now has meant conditions for running rugby haven't always been ideal but the proposed switch to summer rugby next season will help with that.
Some turn around for watsonians last night

Hopefully Glasgow and the SRU are pulling out the stops to get big Leone signed up for next season. The big man is world class and putting him in at 6 with Richie Gray and Cummings at lock would solve a few problems Glasgow have had against the better club sides. 

So that's Nakarawa, Maitland for FB and one of the Saffer opensides being linked please.

Magnificent shitfest victory from Edinburgh to get it right up the Scarlets down there.

Edinburgh were awful. Groom must be dire not to get on when HP was playing like that. Hickey has to be one of the worst wastes of money ever. 

Positives were the forwards particularly Carmichael.
