@NeilMiguel2012 @TEnglishSport You know they beat both Sale Sharks and Clermont Auvergne away with bonus points yes?

@TEnglishSport A very good team Tom....at home. Surface certainly provides them an advantage. Away from home is a different challenge altogether against the top boys which they havent cracked yet. Their style of play is what I find most refreshing....surely Smith is a future Scotland coach?

This is an extraordinary Glasgow team; incredibly skilled, hugely ambitious and as aggressive as hell when they're having to defend their line. Four bonus point wins in a row and home advantage in the knockouts. In a football city, they're making an almighty noise

@LabourfutureUK If only there was a party in government, with a significant majority, that was able to do something about that! Stop sending “opposition” style messages when you actually have the capacity to make the change.

While big business gets big tax breaks, high street shops are being broken by over-regulation. We need to get jobs back in our towns and support the people working on our high streets. If you agree, follow us – and join us today.

@G_HMedia @Scotlandteam @Womens6Nations @scotwomenrugby @RugbySco Red cards seem to be spiralling into a pit of confusion (see also the Wales perm/20 min red). Gallagher was not shown a red by the ref but by the Bunker after review. Appreciate this may be a technicality and the Ref is the ‘Law’ on the pitch but the game isn’t helping itself.

Information re the independent disciplinary hearing for @Scotlandteam No.8 Evie Gallagher after her 20-minute red card V Wales in the @Womens6Nations win this weekend...

@DougProp @thepaulwilliams I saw it ‘live’ and immediately thought it was a pen. However, I can see the argument that the Wales player was on her knees and therefore, by the letter of the law, out of the game. It’s a conundrum when we’re trying to get players to tackle lower…

@thepaulwilliams Fully agree - thought the officials got this one wrong.

That's the same as the Murray jump. Should be a pen.

@DougProp Considering the amount of ‘actual’ stoppages in the US national sport, this is baffling. Come the 2027 RWC in the US, either we all play to these of the US will get hammered because they have noone capable of competing at the number of scrums that European and SH teams do.

How to ruin the game....my worry is the World Rugby will have given it's vlessing as the mandarins at the top don't actually understand what we fans actually want to see.

Here’s a haggis game changer for you all. Recipes say steam haggis. But… If you get Haggis in a real ‘bag’ (not plastic) roast it in the oven. Don’t steam it or wrap in foil as recipes say. Sit in a roasting pan, pierce it a few times and roast at 180. The ‘bag’ is delicious.

@ManuDelUni @cmdepacotilla The current involvement is predominantly male. However, I heard an interview with the CEO of Edinburgh recently where he said that the women’s game was a big growth market and most of the women coming to games were under 30 years. They need to work harder to accommodate them.

@cmdepacotilla @BorderBadger1 Interesante. Creo que se debe a que el público objetivo del Rugby es mayoritariamente masculino, por lo menos en Escocia ... 🤭 Poco a poco esa brecha debería reducirse.

Este estudio de @BorderBadger1 es bastante revelador sobre el merchandising en 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Las diferencias entre artículos de ♂️ y ♀️ son enormes. Los artículos unisex casi igualan a los de ♀️ Curioso.

FYI. @scotwomenrugby @GlasgowWarriors @Scotlandteam Think we need to do better if we’re serious about attracting female spectators (or players!) into the game.

Ms B is getting more into rugby. At 22, she’s probably in the target demographic for expanding the women’s game. She recently went to buy some merch for @EdinburghRugby She was unimpressed by the selection. So she did a bit of research and put together this graphic.

@thepenGW Don’t flatter yourself. They were trying to get a picture with Joshua.

Why’d they have to pick a photo with me in it?!?!?!

@PaulfromTPL @PetrusduPlessis Loved George Turner casually drifting through the shot too! 😂

@PetrusduPlessis Ah, always a warrior, even in music choice 😉

You got to bring the ENERGY in the gym…! Metal & Scrums is Life…! 🎸🤘🏼 #gym #gymlife #energy

@KaylanGeekie @ScotRugbyBlog @N50Sports Interesting. Can you share where this is coming from?

@ScotRugbyBlog @BorderBadger1 @N50Sports My understanding is that a lot of the players think they are better than they really are. There’s also a culture within the squad of egos, as well as grown men needing to be mollycoddled. One youngster, who is a nobody, wanted to know why he doesn’t play, even though he’s no one.

@mottleyG @thepenGW Coaching is a “one bullet fix”. Sorting the culture is a tougher challenge.

@thepenGW Coaching and culture - one easy to fix.

Easy to gloat, but I genuinely don’t get Edinburgh. They have a shed load of talent. They have Scotland’s all time top try scorers, former Scotland captains, and some exciting players. But they are so poor at times. They offered very little for 70 mins today. It’s baffling!

@Naxis911 Chatted to David Milne once about a photo of The Bear after the 1984 GS match. Bear in the dressing room is still bleeding heavily? “Yeah, the French couldn’t beat us in the scrum, so the hooker just slipped his bind and punched Bear.” Different times!

@OfScrum @GlasgowWarriors @SaleSharksRugby Mine was fine. Certainly not like that!! I’d have had to turn the volume down.

Gotta ask my friends in Europe, is this what your audio was like for @GlasgowWarriors v @SaleSharksRugby ???

@fasc1nate Perspective. This lady was: Born 1 year before the battle of The Alamo. Was: 30 when the US Civil war ended. 41, when the Battle of Little Big Horn happened and Wild Bill Hickock was killed. 42, during the Lincoln County war. 46 when the OK Coral gunfight happened. Astonishing!

@raj_2406 @johnbarc86 Mate, you’ve gone too early! That’s the gif for a Welsh team making the playoffs!

Glasgow to win #InvestecChampionsCup. Heard it hear first. After a few glasses of red.

@Naxis911 Already seen a comment somewhere that Australia have regressed to their poor form of a year ago… Couldn’t possibly be because Scotland were simply better than them…

@Naxis911 The tackle-becoming-a-maul looks like a tactic they’ve worked on. Give up a few metres but gain possession. Pretty sure they’ll have checked with the ref before hand so that they know what his interpretation of the laws is.

Genuinely don’t understand why they’re playing that South African song about Rassie at the end of the match in Dublin 🤷‍♂️.
