Kim Little just captained Arsenal to a win in the woman’s champions league final to add to the list of top achievements by Scottish internationals this weekend.

A good night for Scottish internationals. Finn with the Challenge Cup and McTominay and Gilmour the Scudetto. Great to see!

Piers O'Conor is a decent enough signing as well.

Most of the signings seem to be strategic punts on SQ players and I think that is fair enough really - it is part of the club's role.

There has been a bit of churn in the squad and it seems the budget has been cut for both pro teams, but ...

I wonder what, if anything, this means for Mikey Jones? Jones is a couple of years older and yet to really make an impact.

George Turner signed for Quins, good for Quins, and great for Scotland

He'll turn 35 just before the next world cup, he has a chance for sure. His style is largely about dynamism over power though (albeit he's one of the hardest hitting tacklers I've seen) so perhaps he will drop off over the ...

I just saw a clip of Dan-the-man Lancaster with a lovely kicked try assist for Racing (at the weekend maybe?). Do we think he might be an inclusion for the summer tour? Fergus Burke, Ross Thomson and Dan Lancaster gives 3 young enough 10s for what is essentially a development tour. Hastings rested ...

The Grand Slam decider in Dublin is going to be tough.

It is, but it does look like our year

EDIT: In all seriousness though, that is quite ...

Who are the weeg going to get back in next two weeks?

The Props are the main issue with Zander out , and the importance of Zander to Glasgow should not be underestimated , Sutherland will be available, along with Sam Talakai, who was in Australia for family bereavement

Murphy Walker was ...

If Glasgow beat the Stormers do they then play the winner of Sharks Munster? If it’s Munster then they play at home?

Ah, just saw it’s the winner of Leinster Scarlets they play.

Big opportunity for Edinburgh then, Munster are a good knockout team and could well beat the sharks. That would ...

Again, the one thing it wasn’t was “shoulder to shoulder”. Didn’t think there was much in it to be honest but to dismiss it on the grounds of something that didn’t happen is bizarre again

It always seems to be the way with the best sides, those who need it least get the most latitude when ...

Haha, no way has Sione been out injured for months. Such a baller.

That knock-on decision absolutely stank of an attempt to even out after disallowing the try. Nonsense decision by Whitehouse.

Only saw very small bits of the game but every time Paterson seemed to be doing something, was that just luck on my part of was he that good?

He’s that good.

Being hyper critical, he could have done better with a tackle on their centre but he’s the Next Big Thing, imo

I agree, he’s one ...

Tell you what, Ross Thompson has been very very good

*First time gif*

Huge 20 minutes here for Edinburgh. Keep doing the same and they’ll have a great chance.

Thanks TOTM.

As it stands Leinster would be the only Irish team in the playoffs. Obviously a long way to go but if it finished that way it would be astonishing given the stranglehold they had over the league for so long. In fact, two Welsh teams currently in the playoffs is also pretty crazy given ...

Classic Edinburgh performance so far this.

Stephen Ferris is such a shit co-comms. Man he is annoying and myopic.

So 1 point for Cardiff. So we want one of Benetton or Munster to smash the other and any Edinburgh win?

Not a Lion?

Unlikely to be Spain. Their youth set up is stronger than our s. Wales maybe?

Is it? Wasn't our last game against them the one in summer 23 when we hammered them by 25 points in Spain? I think that was only a friendly but it's the best reference point we have...

They’ve been a lot ...

He should go with the 20s.

They have a tough set of fixtures and he'll get a lot out of it. It is important that they try and avoid relegation.

I’ve just looked at our pool fixtures. F***ing hell. Hopefully there is at least one team there we can beat. Spain?

Unlikely to be Spain ...

Boyle, Dodd and Crosbie have all signed extensions. A bit disappointing to see Boyle is only a year whereas the other two are for two years. Disappointed because he hasn’t really kicked on (albeit he’s been injured a lot this year) like I thought he would.

Matt Scott is also retiring at the end of ...

I've been watching the game on catch up. Two things - Watson is the form backrow player in Scotland right now, he kept us in the game with his defence.

Chico's try made me furious - how many more could he have scored like that if he'd been given a run over the plodders brought in for the last ...

Holy fuck Charlie Shiel!

Connacht have already had a warning, albeit in the first half. That should really have been a yellow.

Has Schoeman always had such a bad cauliflower ear? Looks absolutely brutal.

Glasgow must have been nilled in 5 or 6 halves of rugby over the last couple of months. Very unlike them.

4 Max Williamson (28)
5 Alex Samuel (36)
6 Scott Cummings (138)
7 Rory Darge (63)
8 Sione Vailanu (34)

That's a lot of beef - makes poor Rory Darge at 6 ft 1 and 16 stone look positively tiny.

Hansen over Graham is an interesting choice.

White the victim of needing a token Welsh.

Elliott Daly is the one that raised my eyebrows...

Just as bloody well Finn Russell is in, it would have been mental to leave him out.

This is going more or less as we all thought it would tbh. The bankers all seem to be in.

Good stuff, Lions fans know the chant

Schooooooooooooooooooo.

Schooooooooooooooooo

Zandbags in too, good stuff.

Cummings in, good start.

I am actually on the fence about Darcy. In terms of his skillset and ability as a player I have absolutely no doubt he is more than good enough, both in attack (obviously) and also defence. The one thing that would give me pause about selecting him is his robustness. His injury record is pretty long ...
