And Edinburgh lost to benetton despite playing against 14 men for 70 minutes.

Munster head over there next Friday, expect them to lose because a. They'll recall their Scotland internationals and b. I'm going to it with about 5 Scots.

6 years with MND, what a battle. Hopefully his My Name is Doddie charity keeps going.

 

[How bad boy]

Scary what's happened to him in the light of the stats on MND and rugby players. Going to be a recurring story unfortunately

Yep, Ed Slater at Gloucester is the latest. Close in age to myself, young family. Doesn't bear thinking about. Far too many examples now.
