with a bit of time to kill and after reading the normal pish about the All Blacks stealing players from the Pacific Islands. Hear is the two 23 for  All Blacks v Tonga game by country of Birth 

All Blacks  

New Zealand -  20 

Japan - 1(Akira Ioane(moved to New Zealand at the age of 2 and mother is a former Black Fern)

Australia - 1 (Tyrel Lomax(dad was a Kiwi Rugby League player))

Scotland - 1 (Finlay Christie moved to New Zealand at the age of 7 )

Tonga

Tonga - 10

New Zealand - 13

So it is shocking that New Zealand have 3 players from out side New Zealand

Absolutely disgusted at the constant stream of second rate Scots being parachuted in to the All Black squad.

Or something.

In other news Edinburgh free up more wages with Sutherland joining Worcester for next season. Not having checked but they may be a bit short on props now with Bhatti, Bergham and now Sutherland all away this summer

Finances are tight at the SRU, and Edinburgh have had issues with budgeting for the last couple seasons (it's led to some pretty shitty treatment of players to be honest).  That, and the fact most folk think Cockers is a dick, mean Edinburgh keeping key players will only get harder.

Some start from the Scottish boys in this Lions game. Hogg taking two high balls, Price and Russell running the game, Watson has scored and Harris has assisted. Only 7 mins gone!

Not sure this team they are playing are up to much to be fair.

Price is having a field day behind this pack. 

All the Scots starting excellently. 

Russell is having the time of his life. He's clearly been told to just do what he wants and try everything.

Decent performance from The British Lions , all of the Scottish contingent performed well enough, I was actually expecting the opposition to  a lot more physical and try and rough up a few of the tourists before the Test matches
