What was it about. I don't understand why changing it would benifit. It shouldn't be a problem for them considering the depth of professional rugby players at their disposal

They wanted to get rid of one the rest weeks to reduce  the amount of time the players are away from the clubs.  The Aviva Premiership clubs also want France and England to miss week 1 enter in week 2 and play each other during week 3 (a rest week) so it would still be a 7 week tournament for Italy, Ireland, Wales and Scotland and a 6 week tournament for England and France.

Why have the changed schedule. I thought London was always last?

Would certainly have started Allan for Munster tbh. Gordy Reid feels like as big a loss as Strauss right now.

Totally agree, Strauss had a poor start to last season but got right back on form and Reid never backed down to anyone and had a physical presence in the front row which seems to be lacking at the moment

TBH I think Ashe has stepped up and don't think we've missed Strauss as much as Reid.
I reserve the right to amend that at a later date!

Tbf Ashe has started well but very hard to replace the go forward and physicality that Strauss brings. First really big game of the season roll on ko

You reckon? I'd say connaught away is tough fixture for anyone and blues are team that can be brilliant one week and crap the next. No I had a post earlier about what a tough run of opening fixtures it's been for glasgow. I get what your saying about munster I just disagree slightly that it's 1st big game of the season

Meant more its first marquee fixture since its the two sides likely to be vying for top spot. Certainly not downplaying Connaught away as a challenge tho we were very lucky to catch it early season before the bad weather..... Aherm....cough. Cardiff were OK against us but I think our tactics n error count were a bigger issue. Munster also have been right inside our heads last season or so. That's why I think this is a real biggie. I've looked forward to the other games but this is one I've been most buzzing about.

Totally agree m8. Really buzzing. Absolutely nothing to fear here. Was at the match when we put 50 on these whingers few seasons back.

Bring it on...
