What's the academy looking like for next year? Could be used to plug gaps but sadly none look like breaking through and this years under 20s aren't so good.

Probably right on the signings, though I agree about Hamilton. Not sure where he fits in a starting 23.
Wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the U20s, even though they've been pretty bad. Last year's had a tough 6N too, and you'd never have picked Crosbie to break through if that's all you'd seen, and the England team from 2015 who were dire but a change of coaches later won the JWC.

24-17 win over the orclets, just needed faith

potentially Hardie. Suspect he'll be shown the door. How long is Miller's contract for?
And remember who signed Hamilton for Tigers

Miller is gone - hopefully gets a chance with Glasgow as they need back rows.
Hardie is probably also going to leave which is a real shame. Indiscretion aside he's a good bloke and a top player.
But Crosbie, Ritchie, Bradbury, Watson, Barclay and Hamilton would all be pushing for Scotland squads and Mata is incredible. I just don't understand why the SRU would have all the backrows here no matter how much Cockers likes Hamilton. Means quality players aren't getting good game time.
Glasgow have Wilson, Harley, Matt Fagerson and perhaps Matt Smith in Scotland reckoning and after that Gibbins is class but the rest aren't up to much. Just makes so much sense to have Hamilton there.
