Berghan who hasn't even played a prem 1 game in the last 2 months? Oh yeah. He'll be super match fit.
fwck me, you are dramatic.

Of course he hasn't been training with everyone else because being banned from playing means that all he could do is spend the last two months sat on a park bench drinking Bucky and eating kebabs. He wasn't injured, he was banned so should be perfectly fine to play a game.
Sorry didn't mean to target you - just annoyed in general at his inclusion. I don't think he will be match sharp, match fit and I think he's crap in a number of respects. I truly hope I'm wrong!

Take solace in the fact that you often are.

This is a most welcome and concisely worded comment, a refreshing change from the technical minutiae of recent days.

I think, or at least it feels like the line outs were slower last week. In the AIs we were getting there then getting in with it. On Saturday I would be tempted to return to that sort of pace of play there and notice the defence time to settle.

It will be interesting to see what the plan is to get Kinghorn involved. I assume it will be for the wing but time will tell.

Yeah I'm very interested to see at what point we deem it appropriate to throw the dice with Denton/Price/Kinghorn etc.

Is the French full back any good? Not seen much of him.

Actually, don’t answer that...

Beauxis is a bit average though isnt he?

Has Picamoles been injured? If not it is crazy not to start him

Beauxis is having a great season with Lyon.
Picamoles wasn't performing as well as usual lately. Brunel trying to kick him back to form. The little I have seen from Tauleigne has been good.

I hadn't realised Dunbar is over his head knock but has picked up a different injury on his return to training. GT says thigh strain will keep him out for "at least the next couple of weeks". He really can't stay fit can he. What a shame.

Wouldn't surprise me to see a fully-fit Dunbar in the 23 for the Calcutta Cup.

He seems like someone who might have benefitted from a sabbatical NZ style. Could they consider giving him time off until next season after the 6N?

He'd certainly be one of several I'd be standing down over the summer at the very least.

Im not convinced about Barclay as captain anymore, kinda feel that he never put his foot down and control the half backs instead of moaning about how it was going crap, i compalined about it but i didnt have a method to talk to the other 14 guys on the pitch to fix it

Well here’s an horrendously conflicted article about how Laidlaw will shape the attack.
