As someone living between the UK and Spain - the single greatest thing rugby to could to make the game explode in popularity would be to add Georgia and Spain to the six nations. Forget all this nations cup and club world cup stuff...
I don't think I've ever seen a player do such consistently positive things on a rugby field, while being utterly unable to stay on the field for more than five minutes as Harry Paterson... Poor lad.
An Ireland side augmented with RG Snyman and Jordie Barrett versus a Glasgow side without Sutherland, Fagerson, Cummings, Dempsey, Tuipulotu, Jones, or McKay is a big ask...

Quite a lot of exciting prospects absent from this squad: Zander MacTaggart, Henry Kesteron, Nehemiah Su'a, Jake Dalziel, & Harry Hawkins to name a few...
Christian Lindsay, the @lorettosport forward already capped at U20 level, will skipper @Scotlandteam at the U18 Men’s Six Nations Festival in Vichy, France, which runs from April 10 to April 18...
The 26-man squad has been named

Franco Smith doing his absolute best to save Scottish rugby from itself. Another great decision...
Despite disappointment, feel like there is more to come from this u20s. A few selection issues left them exposed. Next week...
Duncan > Lindsay (Extremely talented but let lads play at their age grade)
Stephen > Roberts
Patterson > Cowan
Moncrieff > Watson
That Ireland squad is now absurdly Leinster (23 of 36). Surely there is some downside to that in terms of performance?
Fin Doyle is outstanding for Loughborough every time I watch them - Big, fast, physical, with great offloading game. Would be delighted to see him get a pro contract somewhere...

The mark from a kickoff is a horrible rule. It makes the kickoff so anticlimactic, and just leads to less excitement rather than more.
Fan-focused rugby laws move closer to global implementation after positive trials
▶️Increased ball-in-play time by 2 mins
▶️Shorter total match time by up to 5 mins
▶️Quicker lineouts, scrums and kicks
▶️More contestable restarts

Good to see Harrison Wood signing with Falcons, wondered why he wasn't involved in the Edinburgh Academy.
✍️ 𝙎𝙄𝙂𝙉𝙀𝘿!
Following successful trials throughout pre-season, Newcastle Falcons have signed centre Cameron Ellis, flanker Harrison Wood and prop Oscar Stott to their senior academy squad on one-year deals.
Welcome aboard, lads!

Between Thomas Gordon, Ollie Leatherbarrow, and Harrison Wood - @FalconsRugby seem to have a bit of a thing for our U20s flankers...
Not sure what I'm more scared of: Josh Brennan playing for France, or Josh Brennan playing for Ireland...
Between Pre-season matches, Academy game, and premiership, (+A-games to come) seems like most everyone is getting to play at the best available level. Seems like a much better development ecosystem than before - Just hope all this continues. theoffsideline.com/arnold-cl…
If the welsh want to leave, let them. Iberian Peninsula Conference PLEEEEEEEASE! Sipping cervazas/cervejas in Vallodolid, Madrid, Lisbon 😈😈😈
Further to our earlier exclusive...

The value of these fixtures is huge. Once you exclude injured lads, there are really only a handful of Edinburgh full-time or academy players not getting a run-out this weekend.
The combined academies team to face Ulster Development at Scotstoun on Friday has been named.
