Well despite all the banter Scotland ran out winners over USA 32-10 so will go on to meet France

Busy week for the domestic game, last week saw Forth Valley defeat Edinburgh 38-14 in Edinburgh and tomorrow Forth take on Glasgow at Hillfoots 2pm KO whoever wins has a home tie in the semis Edinburgh have already qualified for the final Meanwhile our U19s are away playing in the Euros They meet USA on Sunday, USA making their debut here and if the Scots win then France awaits in the semis Lose then they will meet either Serbia or Ukraine in the 5th 6th playoff match

As far as I’m aware it’s Scotland A which was a plan to re introduce from the new management structure, giving local lads an opportunity to improve and represent Scotland,

Over the weekend we saw Glasgow taking on reigning champions Edinburgh in Glasgow with Edinburgh coming out on top in a close fought match 30-20 As seen above Scotland A team to meet The Netherlands is announced for the match 14th September in the Netherlands, let’s hope we see more of these in the coming year

Result from Hillfoots Forth Valley 20 - 24 Edinburgh really close game, despite the lack of teams , the 3 we have Glasgow and Forth have certainly closed the gap on Edinburgh

This weekend sees Glasgow travel south to play Jarrow Vikings at Jarrovians RUFC Luke’s lane Hebburn 2pm ko Meanwhile Forth Valley host Edinburgh in rd 3 Scottish Premiership at Hillfoots RFC Saturday ok 2pm

Scottish Premiership Rd1 18th May Edinburgh vs Glasgow KO 2pm Royal High School

Only 3 teams in this years Premiership, Glasgow, Edinburgh & Forth Valley, Edinburgh v Glasgow 18th May To compensate for the lack of fixtures Glasgow have a double header against Jarrow Vikings at Jarrow on 15th June and back to Glasgow on the 29th June Glasgow looking for a fixture for the 17th Aug if anyone interested

It will be because we really haven’t moved forward for years, but Forth Glasgow Edinburgh are pushing forward, and we’ve had more activity this year with the students, U16s,U19s and wheelchair RL than ever before Slow progress but its progress, keep the faith

Great to hear and I’m assuming Scotland will utilise local players as was suggested last year by the new coaching staff

Apparently Scotland are playing the Netherlands this year, great news for the Netherlands but as usual little or no news coming from the SRL Hope it’s true and I’m guessing the composition of the Scottish team will hopefully involve local lads
