TOL saying Bradbury's back this weekend, no other immediate movement on the injury list, but Bennet's close to returning.

Seriously worrying news about Hamilton and Scott, though hopefully it's just overcaution and not taking any risks.

I'm interpreting Cockers' comments to mean that Bradbury will start: "he'll get good minutes" doesn't really mean an appearance off the bench in the last quarter, rather, "we'll see how his fitness is and how long he lasts".

If he plays well and looks sharp, then I'd expect to see him called-up by Toony on Monday.

As much as I am keen to see Harley binned for Scotland, I do hope Bradbury is managed properly. They are likely 3 very physical games in a row across the remaining 6N games and it may not be the wisest move to throw him back in to them all.

The pack, plus replacements, looks very strong

We need the full five points from this

Agree it is a strong squad to put out during an international window,

Got to keep Ollie Griffiths quiet in attack and defence, quality player that caused us plenty of problems in the away fixture.

Aye he was a pure DavePearson in that game, our aim should be to keep him and the rest of them on the back foot, always chasing in behind the gainline

Bizarrely, the only weakness in that starting line up is at full back. Not sure what's up with Fife this season but he has really struggled to find any form whether it be at 15 or on the wing. Hope he can find something in his locker tonight and kick on for the rest of the season or I fear he will be on his way.
Bill Mata. The second coming?

I was intending to go to the match, but the boiler broke down and by the time the engineer left it was too late.

Were I at Murrayfield, I suspect I'd be throwing things by now, as Edinburgh seem to be doing their best to throw this match. I have never seen such an example of 'from the sublime to the ridiculous'.

A few players just got themselves into the Scotland squad there....and probably into the team.
