Don't think anyone would have guessed at us even having a shout at second place after the Zebre/Dragons results.

But if we can get McKenzie, Carmichael, Crosbie, and Bennett back into the 6N window team we have a good shot.

What's the chat with Bradbury? He out for a while yet?

If he needed surgery it was likely to be around 16weeks (from end Oct) but I don't recall seeing anything confirming if he had an Op or not.

There was a reasonable 8 not involved last game:
Sutherland Ford McCallum
Fraz Carmichael
Bradbury Hamilton Barclay

That is pretty decent strength in depth when fit (I know Ford has dropped off).

Technicalities, home, away is all one to us. :lol:


It is if we get Glasgow :lol: Might have to beat them 3 times at Scotstoun this season. Presumably like the wendyball World Cup, we would get to keep bragging rights for ever after that? :wink:


Could we make that 4 wins at Scotstoun this season then. :airborne:
Brain fade there, it would be 3 visits to Scotstoun.

Per offside line

'Matt Scott is due back in the next couple of weeks while Magnus Bradbury should not be far behind.'

Barclay tbc, no mention of carmichael.

No mention of it since the week of the game I don’t think. He was going for a scan, the worst case scenario was 3-4 months, which could potentially take it to late February.

Would be relieved to see Carmichael and Scott back soon, both been out a long time with concussion.
