So that'll 10 points for us in our european games with them this season.

Good job there's no relegation from the Magners League. Or Robbo could be looking for another new job at the end of the season.

Edinburgh were already going to be whipping boys for the season and I think if A.R. gets enough time to mould a squad and maybe get a few more internationals back in the squad they may be back where they should be in a few seasons. But having said that, Edinburgh always seem to under-achieve for what they've got.

Bath were a good side before he took over, they'd won the League 6 times in 8 years, then what happened? he won the Heineken within months of taking over and by the time he left the side which had had the strongest pack in England were whingeing that The Rec used to get muddy in the winter and other side's packs would bully them into defeat!

A good assistant, not a good leader I feel. An implementer rather than an ideas man.

This is just a cynical move by SRU to give Hadden a "wake up call"

And AR taking the Scottish £.

Bet he wishes he had waited and gone for the second losers option - the Wales Job. Bigger redundancy payout!

Edinburgh is used to wasting money on expensive items that look ugly and serve no real function.

Look at the parliament building.
