I think it is the year they got their 1st cap 

That's right. Good idea. Nice changing rooms but a bit dark and low ceiling imo.

The tour guide was excellent though.

 

Some more pics.

 

Bill McLaren MBE and notes from his last game. Forty hours prep for every game.

Nice touch to have all this stuff in the media gallery.

Boat is a gift from the all blacks

Strauss has left Sale and will be joining up with the Bulls in SA for next season (hopefully after a successful world cup).

Seems likely that the World Cup will be his swansong for Scotland as cant see him travelling over for the 6N's when he will be just starting pre-season for Super Rugby - and with so long out doubt he would be in shape.

Thank f**k they're not in our group.

Would love to see them rip Wales a new one though.

I know a few Australians that are panicing that they are going to finish 3rd behind Wales and Fiji - they were already convinced that Wales will beat them, now they have lost arguably their best player in Falou, and Fiji looking dangerous, they are losing all hope of making the QF's

Wales getting knocked out at the group stage would be tremendous
If they make it out the group they will play one of England, France or Argentina(USA and Tonga also in group but doubt they will finish top 2) and will hopefully get hammered by them

Josh Strauss has left the Sale Sharks to return to South Africa to play for the Blue Bulls, who (I think) are a Currie Cup side. 

It means that we won't face him in Europe next season and it probs means that his Scotland appearances are finished tbh.

He’ll go down as a “what could have been”, I reckon. A bit like Matt Proudfoot, in that regard. I wonder if his heart was ever really in it.

According to legend he was using the Pro12/14 as a stepping stone to the English Premiership.  However when he went to Sale he was consistent at coming off the bench so he never really made his mark tbh.  At Glasgow he was solid but he never really stepped up in a Scotland shirt imo...
