@AndyBurke_ @RugbySco @TEnglishSport Should a few Edinburgh players head over to Glasgow on loan so they can level up for next season?😏

After another weekend of wildly contrasting fortunes for Glasgow and Edinburgh, we’ll be recording the rugby podcast tomorrow. As always, would love your questions to get stuck into with @TEnglishSport. Get involved ⬇️

@boycereads Not sure if I have a ‘best’ list as there’s so many good ones. But I’ve recently read: Children of Time. House of Suns. Revelation Space. All very very good.

What’s the best sci-fi you’ve ever read not named Dune, Red Rising or Sun Eater?

@Missilepanda I don’t even blame Everitt. A long hard look at the competence of the people running Scottish rugby is needed.

Sean Everitt cannot possibly stay in his role. How can Edinburgh management team think this is good enough?

@ZB_Steele MOI for me. I will say though that Tehol and Bugg are one of the best double acts in any book I’ve read. Masterful writing from SE.

@WillDevEdwards Elite pick. Toll the Hounds is always gonna have a special place in my heart

If you're limited to one, what's your favorite fantasy/sci-fi work of all time? Can be a single book, a trilogy, a series, etc etc, but you can only pick one

@Lattman_ Who’s the 3 10s? Urwin and Simpson have had nowhere near enough exposure to even be considered for that bench spot behind Lancaster.

@WillDevEdwards 1.) Hardest position to think of, most likely NSQ 8.) Masibaka? GT clearly saw something with him & moves him into SRU orbit. Mann at G for 3 years, Bayliss contract exp 2027 10.) Already have 3, will they get a more exp 10? 13.) Cammy Hutchison? Redpath? Hutch contract unknown

That’s two starters and two 1st 23 players off next season. Four SQ places to fill for a team challenging for trophies? Very much doubt there’s 4 available.

@existdaybyday @Callama_ I’d love a worldly 10. Hastings was always a good player without being brilliant and thus far it seems Lancaster is of a similar ilk. Plenty of time for Dan to develop but there’s nothing of note behind him.

@WillDevEdwards @Callama_ Kriel rumours look pretty solid. 10s the problem just don't see who's available. If they go non SQ no8 that's an easy pick up of some SA monster there are loads.

@existdaybyday @Callama_ Redpath is a starter imo, so the only way he’d even be considered is Sione to 13 and Kriel deal cancelled. Sione is our best 12, too many problems arise with the constant shuffle of positions. Sign a 13, sign a 10, that’s it.

@Callama_ @WillDevEdwards Redpath isn't gonna leave Bath to be a back up player at Glasgow, he's a big player for how Bath play.

@Callama_ Won’t get Hutch with Kriel rumours and Stafford there.

@WillDevEdwards Best we can do for Dempsey and Jones is probably Bayliss, Redpath/Hutchinson, then who knows for Hastings.

@ALCollingwood2 @Scrum365 Can’t imagine there’s scope for four though if I’m honest.

@WillDevEdwards @Scrum365 I thought Franco said a few weeks ago that he was being given the chance to get non Scot’s qualified - that’s why they were looking at David Kriel?

Adam Hastings Huw Jones Jack Dempsey & Jamie Bhatti all heading for the Scotstoun exit at seasons end. Huge few weeks coming up for Glasgow in the transfer market. Need to back Franco or risk losing him.

@WilJay_1 They’ve already built it, it’s now a Polestar 3.

The result was the Volvo YCC (Your Concept Car). When it debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2004, people expected a women’s car Pink paint, Cute styling. They got something completely different.

In 2001, a car company gave 9 women a budget and a simple mission... "Design a car from scratch" No male designers, No legacy ideas Just build the car you think people actually need. What they created shocked the entire auto industry.

@thistlerugbypod I think letting Peter Murchie go to Wales and hiring Radford part time was a blunder from the SRU. 23 tries conceded in 7 games was never going to win a championship, no matter how good the attack has been.

Sitting in Dublin airport thinking about what could have been. Maybe we just ran out of steam yesterday, don’t think we were quite as bad as some are saying. Clamour for Toonie to go seems to have died down, but nagging feeling he has taken them as far as he can Thoughts?

@ajsrugby And maybe you lot might just finish better than 5th. Keep believing.

Lost to Ireland by 22 points? Couldn't be England🤪 Next year's your year Scotland, you'll get that elusive 2nd place you're yet to get. #IREvSCO #GuinnessM6N

@ROB_Robireland What about our defence? Is that 23 tries conceded in 7 games? That’s wild.

Ireland do it in style. Jamison Gibson Park is a genius.

Ireland by 22. 3 wins from 5. 3rd. Is this progress over 9 years?.

@ruaridh_jackson Too many handling errors and the Irish will punish those.

Scotland turn into an amateur side vs Ireland every time 😭 Hoping for a seismic shift second half!

12 points to pull back in 40. Come on boys!!!
