1231 appearances for our 23 players vs 1632 for Glasgow's 23.

Officially young guns vs old stagers.

I really like the look of Taylor and Bennet in the cenre, hopefully they can stay fit and build a partnership.


I would like to think we may see Muncaster come in next game with maybe Bradbury and Watson, similarly other positions where we have good youngsters we can give them game time next to the established players.

Glasgow have significantly more caps but an average of around 50 caps per player is hardly justifying Edinburgh as young guns. Desperate stuff :D

Groin, thought to be just a tweak but can't shake it.

Hmmm - not quite. Average ages:

Backs: GLA 25.9 - 27.2 EDI
Forwards: GLA 28.4 - 28.1 EDI
Replacements: GLA 27.9 - 26.3 EDI

Starting XV: GLA 27.2 - 27.7 EDI
Matchday 23: GLA 27.5 - 27.2 EDI

Exactly, the Embra match day 23 is 4 months younger on average. Boys against men.

So if the Glasgow starting XV are 6 months younger than their counterparts does that make it toddlers against boys until the subs come on?!? :mrgreen:

Edinburgh Pack look much stronger and cohesive so would expect to see more than our fair share of possession. Nice to see Chamberlain get another run. Hopeful that Taylor and Bennet can step up from their recent mediocre performances as McDowall can’t be fully match fit after such a long absence and it looks like the off colour ( and I don’t mean his hair! ) Sam Johnson is perhaps dropped . So less strong Glasgow midfield. Edinburgh to win comfortably.

Has to be red as well.

Why has either needed a captains challenge? Surely TMO should just be flagging these
