Year: 2022

The autumn internationals stand for us and that can only mean one thing. No, not the revival of hibernation of the tourists of the event who still wonder why Gray Laidlaw is not in the Scotland team, but the end of the first block of URC games and the chance to look back and see […]

The situation at Worcester Warriors is grim. Players and employees can lose their livelihood and for some prospective youth in the club this can mean the end of their dreams. The caretaker is poor from his home at home. Grim. There is no better way to describe it. Because this situation has shifted, the rumor […]

A lot was said about pride in the aftermath of the defeat of Edinburgh against Bulls on Saturday. In Mike Blair’s Post Match Reaction piece he used a variation of that word 3 times. Huge pride. It was an excellent effort. The pride we spoke about was during the game. proud of the effort that […]

In the early stages of the match, Edinburgh seemed a little pedestrians and inaccurate. Before the opening had passed for 11 minutes, we had admitted 3 penalties, lost a line-out, threw an incomplete pass and were down 0-6. We even saw BBM drop a high ball that is unheard of and shortly thereafter, Mark Bennett […]

Games for the season look a bit like someone who makes one tear in a public bus. It happened for the most part nobody mentions it. Later you could say: “Jeez someone farted on the bus yesterday and it was ripe,” but apart from that novelty value, you quickly forget that it once happened. Pre-season […]

Season 2021-2022 has ended. What kind of season was it for Edinburgh? Before the URC started, we played 2 friendly matches about what was then. IIt was only when I looked back, I remembered that our very first game in our new stadium ended in a 10-26 reversal to Newcastle Falcons. That loss was almost […]

A few days ago I decided that I needed a new travel mug and almost at the same time I thought we had a rugby one in Edinburgh. How cool would that be? A short (the only friendly) trawl of the Edinburgh part of the SRU shop online revealed that they had nothing of that […]

The Game V Ulster would always be the most difficult home game of the season and it turned out. Our very first defeat at Dam Health was a difficult one to take, because it could have been very different. In the end, given the tight nature of the outcome, the events of the first 15 […]
