Badger’s Partner: “I feel like rugby interrupts our lives a lot.”
Badger: “Nah, not so much. Only Scotland Internationals”
BP: “So how long is the rugby on Saturday”
B: “Errr Noon to 22:30”
BP: “Well, at least we’ll have Sunday free.”
Badger “Err…..”

I fucking love Siya Kolisi. In any other sport that isn’t a (comparative) minority, he’d be a global megastar.

Le Garrec and Lucu are excellent scrum-halves. They’d both be in consideration for any other team in the 6 Nations. But the drop off between them and Dupont is steep…

The French defence is fantastic. Up fast and aggressive. Loving it.

Whatever you think of the call, it’s great to see the ref taking the decision in his own hands there.

Says something about the punditry on some of the matches today that I was actually pleased to hear it was Biggar on this match…. (and I hate myself for saying it, let alone thinking it!).
Big fan of Ben Kaisar too.

Can’t leak 1 soft try against the ABs and expect to win. And we leaked 2.

When you arrive in Oban and everyone in the pub is drinking the same thing, there’s really only one thing to do… lovely pint, to be fair.

@bloodandmud.bsky.social Regarding reclining your seat on a plane, it is my firm belief that there is a special place in hell for people who do that on a f*cking commuter flight between Edinburgh and London.
If you do an episode on flight etiquette, get me on. I have things to say!! 😡 😂

Dear everyone. I know this is picky as fuck and, yes, makes me look more than a little deranged. However…
The proof is not “in the pudding”. The “proof *of* the pudding is in the eating”.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Fairly certain that there’s a story that Liam McConnell turned up with the u20s to train with the senior squad, and got into a fight with Schoeman.
Considering he’s only 20 now, this lad has a positive future…

Hard agree. There are a few things in rugby that are sacrosanct. The tunnel is one of them.
I'm not a big #rugbyvalues person, but dragging Dobie away for his POTM interview before he's gone through the USA tunnel with the team is bad chat

To be fair, with some venues struggling to get numbers (Looking at you ‘Principality’), it’s pretty impressive that Murrayfield can get such a good crowd for an opposed training match.

Great to see Crosbie back for Edinburgh. With him and Richardson in the back row, Edinburgh have all the bastards. But they’re missing a natural 7 though…
