Mon the Gunners

Interesting to see Paterson at 10 with David Blair out

Heres hoping that the front row in particular have a good game, apart from Murray that should be the national sides line-up

Could one of the Edinburgh team injure Dan Parks and put him out for a month or so, that way we won't have to suffer him is constant kicking and inabilaty to run with a ball in the 6 Nations

Disappointing they lost considering they were leading at half time

Another irritatingly lack lustre performance from Edinburgh. I've some real concerns about the depth of squad. Jones and King have been doing well but we seem cursed with injuries and knocks just now, particularly amongst the backs, and are too often playing guys out of position. It's a shame we had to let Mole head back to Worcs (funds I presume) - think it would have been to his, Edinburgh's and Scotland benefit to have had him stay for the season even with De Luca now fit. Edinburgh have gone backwards over the last 12-18 months - some of it has to be down to senior players leaving but Moffat just doesn't seem to be able to inspire or instil belief the way Robinson can.

Could one of the Edinburgh team injure Dan Parks and put him out for a month or so, that way we won't have to suffer him is constant kicking and inabilaty to run with a ball in the 6 Nations

Ass! Wishing injury on any player, even if tongue was in cheek, is pathetic - but wishing an injury on a key player for your country just before an international tournament - is beyond words and beneath contempt.

Get a grip hiz, Scotland would be beter with a trained monkey playing 10 rather than Parks, he's the only fly half in international rugby that can't kick to touch from his own half and pass the 10 never mind the 22, he won't make a tackle or take a tackle and the team plays better when he's laying on the pitch injuried and their down to 14 men. People only think he's a key player because he kicked all the points against South Africa but has showen no flare or vision to create space for the other backs to run.

Stop making fun of Ronan!
