Consultant in medicine for older people in Scottish Highlands. Increasingly rugby-obsessed. He/him. Views are my own, RTs not endorsements. Should Tweet more.
@MaggieAlphonsi@JulesPR_ I would say it wasn’t very “rugby values” of him but sadly we seem to have enough evidence to show us that sexism and misogyny *are* rugby values
The Scottish Rugby Union has been plunged into a leadership crisis after Alex Williamson, its chief executive, was instructed to take “a period of extended leave” in unexplained circumstances (1/2)
Utterly tragic and shocking. Scott was a really good man, a relentlessly positive and helpful person. He was also a brilliant, and history-making, rugby player. This is so sad
To the World it’s history, to me it’s my beautiful girl

I don’t just see silver & gems - I see my daughter. Her family initials MDMC on her wristband, her spirit forever in our hearts 🏴☘️
My very first time watching Scotland was Scott Hastings’ debut and he was very much an integral factor in my love of rugby. There were so many massive moments but when I think of him, the thing which stands out most is his grin - he played and lived with a smile on his face.
Scottish Rugby is immensely saddened to learn of the death earlier today of former Scotland and British & Irish Lions centre, Scott Hastings. He was 61.
@allTxs@ChrisSru880101 Well, many Irish fans did exactly that for Scottish fans over the same issue not that long ago…
(For the record, my pearls remain unclutched. Tbh the best argument for not booing kickers is it doesn’t achieve anything…just gently pointing out a little hypocrisy)
