    @MN5 I'm sure someone on here was bloody picking Gav ahead of Cullen recently.

    Of course you’d pick Gav ahead of Cullen.

    Cullen never played for Scotland you dingbat.

    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.

    But very emotional

    Gav was fucken great though. Better than any AB FB of his era.

    Ok, probably equal to John Gallagher, but better than the rest.

    Couldn’t get in ahead of Gav, that’s why. Settled for Tier 2 in the end.

    Talking of Andy Irvine, who remembers when he used to kick for touch from penalty using place kickc WR outlawed it fairly quickly?

    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

    @Tim

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

    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.

    Georgia have announced an official partnership for the next 11 years with the South Africa Rugby Union. Includes a Georgian team in the Currie Cup next year, plus various work together on stuff such as Academies, further age grade level fixtures etc.

    for those of us who have some of the stories on good authority, the only surprise is that it took this long... (God I'm a knob sometimes)

    He's hardly my favourite player, but I do sympathise with him on this. His tackling might be an issue, but he's been made a victim of Rugby's utterly broken refereeing and disciplinary systems. text here
