    Have watched slammed before but just seen it again, it’s about the rebuilding of the Welsh national side from the late 90s. Really recommend it, 3 programs each an hour long. Worth watching just for the last one when edwards and Gatling get involved, I laughed like * at what the players said.

    Anyone know the chances or craic with getting tickets for Six Nations games? Seems like sell outs for Ireland and Scotland games but some tickets getting touted for £400/500.

    Would’ve liked to get over to Dublin for Paddy’s weekend and see Ireland v Scotland.

    I’d fancy my chances big time at getting tickets for Ireland v Scotland or even an England v Scotland fitbaw game but what’s the chances of the rugby? Will there be spares going at the stadium on the day?

    Friends of mine that go saying tickets are going for silly prices, even if you get one away from home for example, then cost of accommodation seems to be just as ridiculously priced for that weekend.

    I got a couple of Scotland England tickets last week. £85 each. A one-off, but I've never been to a Calcutta Cup game so thought I'd go for it.

    Dunno if this is up anyones street but I have a wee podcast and we are the team glasgow podcast for Doddie Aid this year.

    Had the likes of Kelly Brown, Ryan Wilson, Zander Fagerson etc on over the last few weeks if anyone fancies a listen.

    Usually do a more varied guest (Simon Donnelly, Gianni Capaldi etc) but a bit more rugby focused to tie in with the charity work for Doddie Aid (fundraising for MND).

    it’s called The Back Bar podcast. On Spotify, iTunes etc or all episodes are here;

    Cheers

    The first time I went I thought it would be a one off as well... While its no a cheap day out its usually a good day out overall. Usually we would stay the night but tomorrow we are just down and up so see how that goes. Enjoy it and may the best Scottish team win :scotland:

    ps watch out for the Alba party nutter :giggle1:

    Scotland have been very poor in an attacking sense. I know we’re not necessarily playing for territory but the complete sheer lack of it in their final third is problematic as we sit on the back foot all game.
