It's quite a feel-good story - McInally was a good back row but struggling to get near the Scotland team. To be fair to Johnson he suggested the switch, but for a long time it looked like it wasn't going to work - I for one remember suggesting he move back to the back row a year or so ago.
He also struggled under the co-captaincy and Hodgemare last season, then along comes former international hooker Cockers, who seems to have given Rambo the confidence to make it. His performances have been a revelation, and Cockerill is clearly glowing in his praise. Liked the bit about him performing at Test level for Edinburgh - the under-performance of Scotland players for Edinburgh was identified by Cockers as part of the rotten culture, so thoroughly satisfying to see comments like these.
RC appears to have taken quite a shine to Darcy Graham as well...
