No matter your allegiance, it sucks when you see a great player getting retired early by their body.

Bugger, Scotlands chances of getting out of the pool have decreased by about 50%.
Strange timing, right before a WC.
Arguably Scotlands best ever Fullback.
Andy and Gavin say hi

That’s why I said arguably.
Never saw Andy play. Gav was obviously a bit of a talisman for them but sometimes seemed a bit slow even for that era.
Shit at kicks from out in front against England too.

@MN5 I'm sure someone on here was bloody picking Gav ahead of Cullen recently.
As good as he was, that's some stretch.

Gav was fucken great though. Better than any AB FB of his era.
Ok, probably equal to John Gallagher, but better than the rest.

Of course you’d pick Gav ahead of Cullen.
Cullen never played for Scotland you dingbat.
Couldn’t get in ahead of Gav, that’s why. Settled for Tier 2 in the end.

True. Cullen did have a Scottish Grandmother but it’s hard to displace a guy like Gav. He moved to Paekākāriki after that and thankfully the All Blacks gave him a shot

One of my all-time favourite players. Bit lippy at times on the field but backed that up with action. Huge loss for Scotland

Best described as JPR-lite (compliment, not a criticism). Probably best in the world in the late 70's and one of the nicest blokes to play rugby by all accounts.
Hogg is easily up there with him and Gav.
