Blair is a part of the set up as skills coach iirc.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:It's not evidence of course but i don't see Dunbar or Turner amongst the group that gathered last night. Taylor is there, however. Not everybody would have been captured in video or photograph however... but almost all the others are accounted for.
Interesting to see Blair and Grant there - coaching development of some kind?
Just seen this. Actually, I was just jumping from tournament to match odds with no contextualisation. Skybet still have wales as favourites, handicap is giving us 2 points.OptimisticJock wrote:Aye.

Last time I checked, the bookies were all over the place for the Welsh game. Some making us favourites, some making the Welsh favourites.
If we're 10/1 to beat the Welsh then I'd plough a small fortune into that!
Gray has a calf injury. May be minor but couple that with his lack of games due to his back injury I'd prefer he got a couple of 60-80min games under his belt prior to coming back in. But I can see the logic to putting him in.General Zod wrote:Agree with Big D’s team, although I think R Gray and Lawson will be named on the bench.
If Taylor and Dunbar fit, I still think King Blairhorn will make the bench, as Horne can cover centre/ fly-half, and Blairhorn (what is his real name again?) covers back 3 and, at something of a push at the moment, 10.
Is that fresh? He's been on the bench for the last couple of Toulouse games, no?Big D wrote:Gray has a calf injury.

Just saw Turner injured so I'd agree about Lawson.
Wasn't involved at weekend.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Is that fresh? He's been on the bench for the last couple of Toulouse games, no?Big D wrote:Gray has a calf injury.

You're quite right. I could have sworn he was on the bench ahead of their last game. I've just had a look now and Toulouse only have a 7 man bench. Who knows what happened.Big D wrote:Wasn't involved at weekend.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Is that fresh? He's been on the bench for the last couple of Toulouse games, no?Big D wrote:

SRU reporting he's missing this 3 day meet.
So now thinking about it. Gray has never been involved in a GT game planned Scotland squad and Rambo and the locks involved in the AIs had a great line out. All together with Gray only having a couple of games back before this calf problem I wouldn't pick him v Wales.
So our second and third choice hookers are EinE's shorter brothers.Adder wrote:http://www.edinburghrugby.org/news/18/0 ... ions-squad

That wrong slot is really open. Wouldn't surprise me if 1 of 4 play there.General Zod wrote:I’d also like to post that it wouldn’t surprise me if McGuigan starts over Maitland. Just a a feeling.
All very good players but Biggar is exactly the kind of fly half (behind a dominant pack) that scares me. This is good news for us.ARM wrote:Dan Biggar's oot for the first three matches.
Anscombe, Patchell or Williams. I think Patchell is a great player but no Tests at 10. Williams has hardly played for Glaws.
Got 14-1 for the 6nations on my Mrs phone at half time of the All Blacks match and 50-1 for the World Cup.OptimisticJock wrote:Scotland 10/1 must be the best odds I've seen as an adult.

Aye but since then we've had good results except Fiji. We are due another.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:England last year was my disappointment.Big D wrote:We are due a disappointment.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:I'm torn between grand slam/4 wins and battling it out with Italy for the Wooden spoon.
France was pretty bad as well. We did well to stay in touch on the scoreboard but game was akin watching one of those c*nt cats catch a mouse and play with and prolong the torture for a while longer.
