Bill 🤝 Jimmy One of our most iconic European moments came against RC Toulon in the @ChampionsCup, six years ago! We face off again this Sunday. 👀 🎟️ bit.ly/Toul7Dec

Gavin Lowe had an excellent career with @Scotlandteam Sevens around the globe, but he is now facing health issues aged just 30... He has already had one hip replacement + his former team mates are fund raising to help him get another one justgiving.com/crowdfunding/s…

@BarretoKaleem If @WorldRugby continue shifting the goal posts then 7’s will miss the next Olympic cycle and then what does the ecosystem look like!?

@BarretoKaleem Not ignoring pal…but that used to be 36+ livelihoods and a wider benefit to many more. It’s a far bigger picture than next season. There has to be a 7’s strategy in Scotland and we need to be a wee bit selfish.

.@WorldRugby need to stand up here too, this was a golden egg 15 years ago and now a very sorry state. Celebrated Sir Gordon Tietjens and Bob Hogarth at the @Melrose7s hall of fame dinner last night and can’t believe this is where it’s got to!

Surely now makes sense to go back to home unions and make it a pathway (again). At least you have a base to start from with players who will at least come through system together. Really sorry state of affairs and sad to see on eve of @Melrose7s be brave @Scotlandteam

Surely rugby 7s should be in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2026. @Team_Scotland @thecgf ? Also @Scotlandteam new performance director David Nucifora is a 7s fan.We talk to former Scot 7s player @FlemJames. Full story and James/Nucifora’s views @ScotRugbyNews @HeraldSportScot
Scotland Rugby News@ScotRugbyNews

The sevens was a huge success at Ibrox in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Why couldn't it be the same in 2026 and beyond? @ROB_Robireland talks to sevens star James Fleming on the development solution staring the SRU in the face. 🔗scotlandrugbynews.com/sport/24590669…

@RupertCoxTV @GBRugbySevens Fine group of men whose efforts shouldn’t be questioned. We should have at least 36 players (Eng/Wa/sco) going through these sorts of experiences and that would strengthen GB by its very nature. Enquiry needs to go straight back to unions why their lack support has failed.

Just tried explaining to my six year old why Scotland don’t have a 7’s team anymore…whilst watching GB not make the Olympics…doesn’t even make sense with 6 year old logic…
