Sturgeon is struggling, no doubt about that, but she is very pragmatic and her defence, learned from T May, is now more appeasement than radical. She is taking the party to the centre – Tories beware! The only party to gain from this will be Labour, who will attract disaffected young flag wavers. Where is all the money coming from?

betterthedell No... please no plastic grass! That would be a step backwards!

A Fine Disregard This is what is required to get the sport moving forward in Scotland. Well done SRU.

Country Cousin The RBS used to be so well thought of in Scotland. Now, sadly, the very use of the name, is associated with losses and mismanagement.

Richard Bordin Really well thought of? For nearly a quarter of a century the RBS has been nothing but a financial predator, ripping the ordinary hard-working public off. Their financial meltdown caused millions to lose money, myself as well, wiping thousands off my private pension funds and have we got it back? No. The bank should have been left to its own means and those at the top fed to the wolves.
