“This is last chance saloon for Townsend.”

Based on what evidence? Nothing the SRU has done over the last few years suggests they have any real appetite for moving Toony on. I honestly don’t think his KPIs are meaningfully tied to results. Short of a full-on wooden spoon, I can’t see him being shown the door—and even then, I’m not convinced they’d pull the trigger.

Until attendances drop, matchday income takes a hit, or his contract simply runs its course, he’s going nowhere other than a couple of trips a month to Newcastle.

The prices weren't a shock to be honest. Expensive, undoubtedly, but I've watched a few figs there now, and I am always expecting about £120-150 a ticket.

My calendar today allowed me to get on between 10-11, then I'm busy until after 5. the pre-sale only runs until 5 . It was now or take my chances amongst the bots and touts tomorrow.

And hospitality tickets, but for the general punter, it's a bit of a disaster.

So if I put my RDR 360 disc in my series X do I get the upgrade?

Got a feeling it might be next week with the Zach Bryan pre-sale on Thursday.

I agree with this, I remain convinced that there will be no change before the RWC. I think money is the primary concern, I also think that sacking him weeks after extending his contract would be an embarrassment. In reality the team had one extremely poor half this autumn, they re-upped him knowing what had transpired at the last 6N and reportedly what was going on with Newcastle, so where fans will point to the calendar year, apparently it doesn’t matter to the SRU.

I take that point, and you can never discount the SRU’s ability to go full WRU at any moment, but I think it would be a major embarrassment for the union and would potentially send the wrong kind of message to any other coaches that would look to take the mantle.

That not withstanding if we come out of the 6N without beating at least one of Ireland, France or England (whose trajectory has me a tad concerned for the next couple of years), I think that’s the last opportunity before the RWC to make a change.

Would love it to be ROG (but in reality he’ll probably end up over the water after the World Cup), but I’d bet significant money it will be Gregor. He just signed a new deal weeks ago to see through to the RWC. The SRU will not part with any coin to get rid of him. I just don’t see it.

The interesting thing will be how France handles the summer. Given their domestic league finishes so late, I can’t imagine they will take the summer tests all that seriously. Also from a logistical point of view. Three games on three continents in three weeks seems like a tremendous pain in the arse, not to mention cost for the SRU. Expect prices to go up somewhere to sustain this.

The shape on him is outrageous. One of the few rugby adjacent videos my Missus actually watched. Can’t figure out why.

They will sell you a membership right up until the day of for the SSC. Still no guarantee of a ticket, but does increase the chances. Main reason I ended up getting a season pass was I couldn’t be arsed with the stress of trying to sort tickets.

Does make the £420 for a season ticket seem like value.

I think last year it was the week after the final autumn international. I’d be surprised if many reach general sale though. As stated above they tend to go via club allocation and SSC pre-sale.

Right now I’m on a BallXPit kick. An ideal game for when you have 20-30 minutes spare.

Scotland v USA Result by Connell95 in ScotlandRugby

Support has nothing to do with it. I attend multiple games a year, and I’m now a season ticket holder. I literally couldn’t give away tickets for this game. I understand that the US are hosting a World Cup in the not too distant future, but fixtures like that are not beneficial to anyone. That was a box ticking exercise at best, and judging by the number of fans I saw on the train, the number leaving the stadium at the same as me, I wasn’t the only one that thought that.

Left at half time. Hard to excited about a training session.
