wee-toon-red Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 What's going on at Edinburgh these days? Thought Cockerill was a good appointment but looks like they've got a few disciplinary issues? Magnus Bradbury, the captain, suspended after apparently picking up a head injury on a night out and now John Hardie's also unavailable for selection due to a separate and unconnected incident.

biffer Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 They’ve had disciplinary issues for years and no one has tackled them. Cockerill is, so there will be more players being hauled up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrie21 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Is there a bevvy culture at the club or is it just general discipline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Times alleged the Hardie suspension is related to Cocaine use. Hasn't failed a drug test. Likely to be a 9-12 month ban if guilty I reckon.

Rumour is someone saw him at It, which is enough to suspend him but it's not solid proof so how could they justify banning him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Thoroughly enjoyable cuffing of the Ospreys last night. Always nice to shove it up the Welsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Yep good result. Ospreys without quite a few called up to Wales team but still a good score. Glasgow did very well the other night too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few big names from the Ospreys, but Edinburgh were missing the first four choices at loosehead, first two choices at hooker and first choice tight head. So we were tested much more in terms of depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally we do seem to have a wee bit of depth in scottish rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can win next week as well at Dragons when Ulster are at scarlets (who are winning at Leinster as I type), there could be a wee gap opens up... Great drop from Weir off a terrible pass to win it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Dragons next week when Ulster are at Scarlets, then next is Munster at home, who will be weaker during the 6Ns (they lost in Cardiff today), while Ulster play Glasgow. Could get a decent gap ahead of Ulster over this games and have the opportunity to finish it in the home game v Ulster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
