Matt Scott commits to Edinburgh till 2014

Well it seems one of Scotland's prospects for the future has signed on untill 2014. Great news for the youngster who has played a central role in some of Edinburghs most important games recently.

Furthermore it seems any student wanting to go to Edinburgh V London Irish will only have to pay a fiver!

That's great news - really pleased for the lad - soon he'll be a qualified lawyer too, so won't have to pay an agent to check his contract!

Would like to see Rennie, Grant and Gilchrist also put pen to paper for longer deals

I would not be utterly surprised to see either Grant or Rennie go walk about for a season or 2 though. With a lot of talented guys in the backrow they would not be missed too badly if one were to go.

I think we'll be lucky if both Rennie and Barclay are in Scotland next year. There are a fair number of very good English and French sides without a top quality specialist openside so I expect there will be a few suitors.

Great news on Matt Scott. He carries plenty expectations on his shoulders, but he looks quick, strong and skillful and a great fit at 12.

Hearing strange rumours about NdL and Cairns heading south to the AP, with Parks off to Connacht

what is this.. I dont even... whaaaaa?

Back to reality, great news about Scott. I see hes gone from being listed to a halfback on the embra site, to a centre. Leonard conversly has gone from centre to halfback. Neither player seems to have any complaints mind, so its all good.

Cairns and NDL to the Jeff I get. Parks to connacht? Is that a joke?

He's out of contract at Cardiff, there's no room for him in Scotland, he might actually do a decent job in Connacht, securing them territory in league games - can almost see it working! Have to say I'd be surprised at the IRFU if that one come true tho
