Virtually all the other Pro teams are signing up players and busy shaping up their squads for next season. Glasgow looks just about all done, formal announcement of Hastings joining awaited, some decisions on 3rd choice backs/academy promotions and 3 big signings in the forwards and they're about ready to roll, have already announced 10 players leaving.
Edinburgh meantime has managed 3 internal appointments - two academy promotions and a transfer along the M8. It can't be having a new coach that's holding things up, can it, as Glasgow have a new coach arriving too and it doesn't seem to be slowing their recruitment down?
I have a sinking feeling that SJ and the SRU committee doing the signings are locked into doing Glasgow and haven't got round to looking at Edinburgh yet - this walking and chewing gum at the same time is a bit difficult admittedly!
Hope I'm wrong, but the weeks pass and elsewhere players are being signed left, right and centre, just hope it's not another end-of-season rush to find what's left at the bottom of the bran tub.
