SRN: Jim Telfer calls for third pro side to improve Scotland team

"I would put a third pro team somewhere above the central belt, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Perth, who knows, but there is a desperate need for a third professional team as these areas are being neglected."

SRN: Scottish club rugby will move to a 12-team Premiership for next season only as part of the reshuffle… which will see four of the Super Series teams [Ayr, Heriot, Watsonians & Melrose] compete in the Premiership.

Stirling County, who won the Super Series last season as Stirling Wolves, will compete in National League Division 1 alongside Boroughmuir.

Im schottischen #URC-Derby gab es nach dem #GlasgowWarriors-Sieg von letzter Woche nun einen 19:14-Heimsieg von #EdinburghRugby

2 unterschiedliche Halbzeiten. GLA dominiert 1te Halbzeit, weil EDI es nicht gelingt Tempo aufzunehmen und an der GLA-Defense zerschellt. Aber: Glasgow geht Effizienz der Vorwoche ab, nehmen aus ihren Auftritten in EDI-22m nur 7 Punkte mit.

Auftakt zu den beiden Derby-Spieltagen der #URC mit #GlasgowWarriors#EdinburghRugby – nach 58 Minutren 8:10 in einem enttäuschenden Spiel. Viele Unterbrechungen, viele Fehler, wenig Rhythmus. Kein Team kann dem Spiel seinen oder überhaupt irgendeinen Stempel aufrdrücken. Dass Glasgow mit drei Gassen an der gegnerischen 5m in Folge nicht einen Punkt erzielt, habe ich diese Saison noch nicht gesehen.

Pre season #rugbyunion and a reminder that #edinburghrugby stadium is a wind tunnel. Dont think I can survive a game here in January.

Sad to see him go but good on him for doing what he feels is right for him and the club.

Haven’t done an #Intro post. So I suppose this will serve as one.

I am a cishet middle aged guy but I balance off that load of privilege by having a major depressive disorder that is often disabling… Occassional rants about, and pseudo-advocacy for #MentalHealth may occur.

I am a huge #DoctorWho fan and have been since McCoy was on screen. I have two #cats who will likely feature a fair bit. Coach junior #Dodgeball. Support #AberdeenFC, #aberdeenLynx, #EdCapitals, #NYR, and #EdinburghRugby
