To be fair I have only seen him a couple of times but he does look the real deal and could be a real star in the making. I think he might help heal the pain of Jones moving on.
Bit disappointed that Jones hasn't seen the need to be loyal to the club who gave him his big break and looked after him following injury, another season might have been a decent payback? Not sure going to Leicester is an ideal fit for Jones either but I suppose if they offer the biggest wedge ...
The Weegies need a big signing to cover for the Hogg, Jones and Big Brian departures though to keep supporters happy.
The Stormers/WP were who gave Jones his big break! He arrived at Glasgow a known star in the making.
I agree about MacDowell - 6'4, athletic, fast, good skills. Scotland just don't produce centres like that usually! A Dumfries boy who went to Merchiston... How did he end up there?!
