Some thoughts for the BBC Sport website on Edinburgh's win v Ospreys www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Match Column - Edinburgh V Ospreys open.substack.com/pub/theburgh...

Losing to Argentina isn't even the issue, they're a serious team with some big wins this year. Being 21-0 up against anyone and then doing NOTHING in terms of adjustments as you watch them come back into the game like that is fucking gross negligence

All Blacks should drop Beauden Barrett. He failed to make a tackle near the line. Hes not as good as everyone makes him out to be!

Not saying who i want to win today but I own several Edinburgh tops of various types, 2 Scotland strips, a Highlanders shirt and 3 All Blacks shirts. No Roses except the chocolate version.

I didn't think we'd win this game. I didnt see any Scot say we would. We hoped & ultimately didn't quite get there but even as the jaded person I am there was lots to be encouraged about as that AB team is still better than anyone in the 6N. Are they SA good? No, but thats a different level.

Well done to D'arcy Rae. Did well despite the press he got ahead of the game.

Guess where I am?

Really enjoyed Scotland v Fiji there. Great game of rugby.

Playing catch up rugbywise and just saw Aussies beat SA. Never would have believed that result was coming after 20 minutes. Still not that impressed with Oz team tbh. Im willing to bet this was an anomaly. 2 caps now for Boan Venter. This one was just like he was playing for Edinburgh.

Delighted to see Red Bull take over at Newcastle be officially announced. The loss of the Falcons part of the name perhaps a small price to pay for the investment & hopefully success. I've been to kingsholm when Edinburgh played there. Great ground and atmosphere. Good luck Newcastle Red Bulls

Wrote a bit about the Lions from someone who's only seen two tours. open.substack.com/pub/scrumsag...

Boan getting a start for Springboks. Delighted for him but disappointed also

Well done Scotland U20s for sticking in. The only time I've actually cheered at the end of a rugby match this summer.

Scotland U20s with a good start v Ireland. 3 tries at 30 odd minutes and denied a full length try by a foot in touch that was otherwise a cracker

Anyone got a number for the Fiji police? I'd like to report Scotlands attack missing. It was last seen around 0402hrs BST this morning.

admittedly, I've had to watch the Lions games on catchup so far as opposed to live but its all been very disjointed. I get that to an extent but i've also been pretty bored. It may just be the lack of jeopardy cos I know the result but its been pretty tedious watching.

Bonne chance Toulouse

An Edinburgh Rugby season review for your perusal. A few stats, some facts and and my appraisal on how it went . open.substack.com/pub/theburgh...

Am no Munster fan but Henrikse is a prick and Sharks deserve to lose here.

Stats, opinion, facts and pure conjecture on the subject of Bulls v Edinburgh

George Turner is not the prodigal son. He might be the prodigal father seeing as he's 32 but I'll bet he still gives away brain fart penalties and his throwing in isn't an improvement on what we've got. Not getting the euphoria.

Record win for Edinburgh v Ulster. Our biggest margin, most points and only time we've beaten them with 7 tries. Now let's see what else happens this weekend

I'll take these results right now. Who do I speak to?

Tongue in cheek from the always funny G Love but if you are an Edinburgh supporter and this is even close to your thinking give your head a wobble and your ticket to someone else. 'Mon the gunners

What is the saying? A draw is like kissing your sister? Well that was like the dog licking your face and then remembering as nice as that feels he licks his asshole on a hourly basis. Edinburgh teetering on the edge but maybe just holding on!
