His match reports are pretty much on the nose, but his opinion pieces are carp.
Sione Tuipulotu out of Six Nations because of training injury
Influential centre Sione Tuipulotu is ruled out of the Six Nations because of the pectoral injury he picked up in training.

That is the one injury that Scotland absolutely couldn't afford. That's a killer blow.

It is disastrous news tbf. Scotland's best player bang in form and a captain who was leading by example. Stafford McDowell won't be a like for like replacement. Can Tom Jordan play 12? He's physical and will have more playmaking ability than Stafford.

Six Nations 2025: Scotland call up Alex Masibaka of Angouleme
Australian-born Alex Masibaka, who plays for Angouleme in the second tier in France, is a shock call-up to Scotland's Six Nations squad.

Must confess I've never heard of Masibaka, losing Bayliss is a blow.

Give it a rest.
2 born and bred Scottish, other 3 all have a Scottish parent.
By the way where was m.smith born?
Completely different. He was developed in England. You see the RFU actually spend money only developing their youth pool, not on paying scouts to raid other countries' systems.

I think its pretty clear scotland have made a marked effort to improve their development systems, ton of players have come through glasgows academy of late, they have a new bridging system that gregor and co coached in january and hired nucifora to improve it further.
I do wonder if people have less issues with Tom Jordan than the granny gang then if the issue is down to development? Naturalised sure and no birth ties, but that guy had no future in rugby in new zealand, no real academy and no county or pro team was even sniffing him, he went to the super 6 and started mediocre and got better year on year, there is a real argument for the player he is being developed in scotland even if it didnt happen as a kid.
