Encouraging re Barclay and Scott, certainly its the first time there has been any public mention of Scott even training, so hopefully he is over it now. Again we really need him at his best, which he was looking like at the start of the season.

Still no mention of Hamilton's progress with concussion-and I wonder with all the re-signings if he will miss out on a contract renewal given the strength in the back row (if/when all fit!).Be a great pity as he has played well,particularly when there were a number of injuries and he really took a lead going forward.

Bennett got quarter of an hour, halfway through the capitulation, so he didn't really show anything. There were remarks about Hoyland's defence on the match thread, I didn't notice as I couldn't see through my tears.
Hoyland looks decent in attack, he has a ridiculous step on him, he can change direction quicker than anyone I've seen for a while. I don't remember that about him.

Not saying he aint worth the shot, but I am guessing we are down to only 3 fit (or not with Scotland) back 3 players.
Will be interesting to see how Miller goes at 8 as well.

What happened to VdM and Mata?!
Sheesh it's not the team I wanted going to Benneton...
Good luck to Jack Blain though, would be excellent to have a winger come through and spot Graham and Duhan. Fife and Brown don't cut the mustard and we'll see with Hoyland. Big game for Hoyland too.
