Martin Hannan: Glasgow winning URC is one of the greatest Scottish rugby achievements.
Last week I called on Glasgow Warriors to save our Scottish season by doing the illogical and beating the might of Munster at Thomond Park. This week I am urging them to go to South Africa and defeat the Bulls by out-bulling the favourites in the United Rugby Championship final.
"Not everyone will like what I say about the various options for our sport". Martin Hannan sets out his case for reform "because we can’t let rugby in Scotland dwindle any further in any way."
It is an increasingly common way for governments, national and local, to get themselves some headlines and some breathing space and deflect attention from their own myriad faults to declare ‘an emergency’.
It’s not an acronym or, more correctly, an initialisation that trips off the tongue, but everyone involved in Scottish rugby should remember SROI.
For our two professional clubs, it looked at one time that both Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby might end the season on a crescendo
It’s better late than never and there are still many more improvements to come, but with a series of announcements in recent days, World Rugby seem to have at least woken up to the fact that changes were needed in the laws of the game immediately to make our sport more attractive to players and spectators alike.
Martin Hannan has praised Blair Kinghorn for his efforts in France, hailed the signing of Mosese Tuipulotu but suggested the pathway needs fixed.
Martin admits it is harsh to be too critical of the Scotland women's team but believes losing is always a failure.
