I think this could be done with a view for Scotland's 6 Nations preparation too, with Horne out injured, Jackson not getting much game time at Harlequins and Weir not being very good or fitting our style plus he only plays one position, I can see Hogg being our backup 10 in the matchday 23 during the 6N.

Given that he has only 5 or 6 games as a senior at ten it's plain crazy to expect him to play in one of the most specialised positions at international level. If the sru don't fancy weir then heath cote would be most sensible option imo. Eta even Kinghorn has more minutes at ten in last couple of years.

2nd eta I'm very cynical about this....can't help but see this as an indulgence for the Lions. ...we can't really think that someone who has only played 10 5 or 6 times as an adult and not at all in last 4 years is a better option than weir Jackson heathcote or tonks.

Comical stuff.

Agree regarding Murchie, he had a good spell towards the end of the season when Glasgow made their first final (when Hogg was in the bad books). Since then he's kind of fallen away I suppose through lack of game time.

Yep. I think a long run of injuries has contributed but he looks well short of both pace and power. Eta came through at same time as horne but in last couple of years they have taken very divergent paths.
