They're a great team obviously and have sworded us here but I would find it incredibly pleasing to see them lose in the final to France with an absolute homèr of a ref.

Really? I find them far more likeable than the French team

We are going to slowly climb that ladder I suspect over the next 25m

I played for Grammar for four years and it's an absolute tragedy and disgrace what's happened to rugby in the North East. 

I'm from Tayside so not exactly the same but I came back to play last year after 8 odd years away and I was shocked at how much adult participation seemed to have collapsed since I was younger.

Are we about to not make the last 8 in a tournament that’s effectively invite only and only 8 countries are any good at it ?? f**k me, we are pish.

Dropped into a group with the world number 1 and 2.  We were never getting out that group.

Strange thing is that the train from Aberdeen to Edinburgh will be rammed with fans going to Murrayfield on 6 Nations match days, yet I'll be willing to bet that <10% of them will have ever attended a local club game.

Eta: the 'Grammar' part is obviously a massive turn-off.


Dundee and Highland are only in tier 2 too.

SRU set-up their 'Super 6'... and promptly handed 3 franchises to Boroughmuir, Heriots and Watsonians alongside Ayr, Melrose and Stirling. Farcical.
