So it looks like Everitt will be coaching for his rugby future this season. Yet again the PR and human resources optics aren’t great for the Murrayfield bosses. He’s either good enough or he’s not. Maybe they couldn’t find a an available and suitable replacement … 🤷♂️

Let’s hear it for Hollie. Latest in a distinguished but diminishing line of top Scottish rugby whistlers. Nice to hear, too, that Boroughmuir’s international ref Jim Fleming is still out and about (even if he is brandishing traffic cone)!

Delighted that the book I wrote with Peter Burns on Murrayfield is being enjoyed by two Scottish rugby legends.Roy Laidlaw is one of the greatest 9s to ever play the game and Bill Johnstone one of the best ever rugby commentators.

Beware of oil-rich gulf states bearing gifts. It’s the 21st century Trojan horse. Soon oil-washed big bucks will be bankrolling every sport on the planet. Be warned. Don’t be a Trojan.

Since the get-go I’ve been a Nucifora sceptic. Always liked bosses to be full-timers with serious skin in the game. The Lions’ appointment simply adds to the misgivings. So read @robirobertson.bsky.social in this morning’s @heraldsport.bsky.social

No “taxi for Toonie” knee-jerk posturing by @robirobertson.bsky.social on Gregor T’s past present and future in this morning’s Herald. A considered appraisal well worth a gander.

“… Scotland could win the 6N if they beat France by 52 pts and other games go their way. There is more chance of me hang-gliding naked off the Eiffel Tower than that happening.”

Next, see another Scots journo who was equally rash 😀:
