Results tagged “Euan Murray” from The Glaswegian - Talking Rugby

THE Billy Connolly videos stacked on top of a wardrobe in the post-match media room at Murrayfield were clearly left beforehand in anticipation for what eventually transpired in yesterday’s Scotland v Wales Six Nations opener - after all, we were in dire need of a good laugh after what we had just seen on the pitch.

If one were being really cynical, I’d hazard a guess that they were installed the Wednesday before the game when coach Frank Hadden announced his team to face the reigning champs.

My take on the runners and riders for this year's Six Nations

SCOTLAND

PROS: Quality players such as Glasgow’s Thom Evans (should the powers that be remember his existance) and Edinburgh’s Ben Cairns have come through the system to ensure coach Frank Hadden has more weapons in his arsenal than in previous campaigns. Hadden is also helped with an embarrassment of riches with regards to back-row forwards and also has the world’s current top scrum-half in Mike Blair.
