This is the weekend pass queue. Started at 4900 in the queue.
Weekend pass go on sale for the Supporters Club on Monday (general the next day). Anyone know what the prices are looking like?
When does the 6 nation tickets get released for the general public ?
Wales online reporting Rhys Litterick will sign for Edinburgh at the end of the year and add to Scotlands tighthead options! 👀
Great win over Oz. Probably the best performance of the year? Good momentum and reason to feel confident going into the 6 Nations. Here's a little end-of-year internationals review, too

Thinking ahead prematurely to the Lions tour...based on current form, if we took the Scotland backline as the starting point, which players from the other nations would you swap in to improve the BIL starting backline?
For me, Gibson-Park and (possibly) Keenan are the only non-Scots I'd pick from 9-15.
I can see how a case could be made for Feyi-Waboso, Freeman, Lowe and possibly one of Aki/Ringrose (though I personally wouldn't break up Huwipolotu).
But given how cohesive our backs are in attack and defence, why mess with it?
Thoughts? In the forwards I can't see any Scots other than Z Fagerson making the starting team - though Schoey and either Darge/M Fagerson could tour.
I would say it wasn't Kinghorn's best game. Every time he got the ball he seemed to make a mistake, and i was a bit baffled that he got MOTM compared to the likes of Zander, Darcy, Tuipolotu who I thought were outstanding.
Don't get me wrong, i think Kinghorn is a world class player and he can more or less play any back position imo. But i am rather questioning the criteria that a player would get MOTM? Am I missing something from the Australia performance? I know he contributed to that pass to Ben White and for Finn Russells try, but that was about it from me?
I had completely forgotten about him until Gregor mentioned him in his presser. With Ritchie looking good again, Dempsey to come back, Fagerson can still do a job, plus Darge and now Bayliss all looking like they can also add something. Where do you think Andy fits?
Three wins, one loss. Not bad! And probably deservedly feels like a stronger result overall given Australia turned out not to be the basket case we might have thought they were.
But what are your overall takeaways for the Six Nations and beyond?
I’ve seen they’ve added 6 nation tickets onto the website, any ideas when presale will be for members?
I’ve got a spare ticket for the game today. 50£ for it if anyone’s interested since that’s what I paid. Drop me a message if you want it
Hi everyone,
I’m a Parisian visiting Glasgow during the final round of the Six Nations (march 15, France-Scotland). I’m looking for the best pub to watch the matches – somewhere with a great atmosphere, passionate fans, and maybe a good pint or two.
Any recommendations for places where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy the rugby? Thanks in advance, looking forward to experiencing Glasgow’s rugby spirit!
Hello everyone, it’s my first time visiting Murrayfield tomorrow and super excited !
Any recommendations on what are the best stalls outside the stadium to get a bite of hot food ?
Thanks in advance
Plan on arriving around 11.30/12 tomorrow to get the tram to Murrayfield from Ingilston Park and Ride. Would anyone know if this would likely be too late to get a space?
Upper West - 70GBP same price as I bought it. Next to us three Aussies!
Last in the series! I did go for White originally at 9, but thought that would be too sensible, therefore spice boy is in. Richie at 6 is also another dodgy one, last chance saloon for him? Did Bayliss do enough last week to keep Matt F at 6 and he goes 8? Who knows. Get yer teams in……
Some Russell clips included 👀
What's is everyone's opinion of Gregor Townsend staying on as head coach? Over the last 2 yrs Scotland's notable victories have been beating England twice, defeating an all time low Wales team twice (this year by 1 point) and beating a French 2nd team in the run up to the world cup. This has been accompanied by a loss to a poor Australia side (Nov 2022), 3 losses to France and a defeat to Italy. On top of this Townsend's Scotland have never beaten South Africa, Ireland or New Zealand in his whole tenure as head coach. Is this an impressive record for the current Scotland team or has it been an underperformance?
Sure, the match against SA was tough, but some good quality shown otherwise over November? Can Scotland mount a serious Six Nations challenge?

I have a pair of tickets for sale for the Aussie game. Looking for £147 - how much I paid.Anyone interested or know th b st way to sell them on? Will have to transfer on th Scottish rugby app
70th minute and people are flooding down the steps to leave. Surely I'm not the only one that finds this not only disrespectful to Portugal but just completely unnecessary.
Why spend money on tickets just to leave early? Maybe there is a reason for it that I am not aware of.
Don't get me wrong, I'm loving our teamsheet; it's great to see underused players (Horne, Reed) and young talent (Muncaster, Douglas) get played.
But with a team with as few caps overall as this, will the lads have the experience needed to find a way to lose?
Portugal are no slouches, having a great WC showing and all, but with the recent loss to USA, I'm concerned these Iberian fellas might not have it in them to force us into 15 consecutive penalties and a red card.
If we don't muddle through this game, dropping balls and gifting tries, I'm very concerned for the future of Scottish rugby as we know it.
