Wales game called off....

One change for the game on Saturday... Bradbury in for Haining, who had a decent game in Dublin Scotland: Hogg (capt); Maitland, Jones, Johnson, Kinghorn; Hastings, Price; Sutherland, Brown, Fagerson, Cummings, Gray, Ritchie, Watson, Bradbury. Replacements: McInally, Dell, Berghan, Toolis, Haining, Horne, Hutchinson, Harris.

He got drunk and when told to stop he didnt, he missed training and so was told he was not playing the first game. Got invited to training and said no...

Aye can imagine that was hard going min !! The good lassie's family are still in Eaglescliffe, as a said a nice part a Ingerlundshire. Nae far from the lakes and only 3 hours back home. The only place a can think that might have any TA is maybe York but as you say it's definitely Ingerlundshire set around there

I'm nae expert on the UFC but definitely a fan of it and other mixed martial arts tournaments. I have been tae a few live events and aye you get plenty a wannabes but that's the same at any boxing event a have been to. Plenty a decent folk who respect the skill, talent and baws it takes tae compete in this sport. I have followed it for years now, but lost track for a while (pretty much when McGregor made his name) through no having sky/BT. With regards tae McGregor, he is the biggest name in the sport because he sells him self the most. Managed to catch up on his career, name doubting he's a talented fighter but he realised early that as with all fighters you have a shelf life (If yer clever) and has set out tae make a fortune. Aye he's comes across as a total dick at times but that sells tickets and makes him money. Completely different in the far East when its aw about respect , but as its the Yanks, they love his antics and the whole "Irish" heritage thing the Americans have is easy pickings for McGregor. Quickly on the actual fight, Nurmagomedov is an animal and did exactly wit he said he would do. Nae excuses for the aftermath mind
