@rava_ian Got my fingers crossed for your lads Ian

Very sad to hear of Scott Hastings passing. I was fortunate to play against him back in the day in an Edinburgh Cup match and more recently he stopped and chatted to @IanJWallace69 and I at a match at Myreside. He chatted for ages and couldn't have been nicer. Taken far too soon

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

@10Broderick There was certainly some discontent previous to the last 3 games but last night you are right there was very little. Beat down maybe. I know my crowd didnt wait for the lap of honour.

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

A joint record equal margin of defeat for Edinburgh at the Hive. 21 points! Other game was in 2022 v Munster where we lost 17-38. A fitting end to a season where we also matched our worst ever points total in the league since the URC began.

Tempore horribilis.

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

Good luck and best wishes to Jamie for this move. Always gave everything in an Edinburgh shirt and im sure he will do the same for Glasgow

Big signing for Glasgow Warriors with former Scotland captain Jamie Ritchie returning from France to join the club this summer.

Exclusive @TimesSport: Edinburgh turn to James Grayson in a bid to solve their long-standing issues at No.10. The overhaul of the capital backline continues apace. Another significant signing, barring any last-minute hitches 🤫🤫🤫https://t.co/cfmpapdCah

Edinburgh's backline overhaul set to continue with another Super Rugby talent heading north. @TimesSport exclusive https://t.co/CwGDu62LCm

@AndyBurke_ Thanks for the mention on the Pod Andy. Pity it wasn't on the back of a famous win. It's only taken 70 columns for you to find something worth repeating😀

[Leicester Tigers @LeicesterTigers]

Welcome Hamish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Leicester Tigers are pleased to announce that Hamish Watson will join the club on Monday on a short-term loan deal.

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

Best day!

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

Nice to see my prediction come close. Don't nit pick the result. Enjoy it. I can't imagine too many folk thought we could win never mind hit France for 50 points

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

Not quite HT in Scotland V France yet Scotland have scored more points than France have conceded in their other games this 6N

@MarkPalmerST Sorry to hear this Mark. Hope you feel better soon. Maybe just as well it happened pre-match

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

And relax. Like the U20s last night I felt like Scotland were the only team playing rugby but too many errors and discipline getting in the way. It was more stressful than watching TV should be but as has been said endlessly -its results that count

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

No offence intended and im sure he'll be fine but hopefully that means I wont have to put up with Piardi reffing Edinburgh again this season

[The Burgh Watch @theburghwatch]

@ScotRugbyBlog Yup. Repeatedly
