Congratulations to @StuartWHOGG_ who not only became the most capped full back in World Rugby today but his 2 tries for Scotland equals the Scottish record set by Ian Smith (in the 1920s) & Tony Stanger. Proud day for Stuart and @HawickRFC

So sad to hear of the death of Doddie Weir, who fought the bravest of fights in his battle against MND. Andrew Purves, past player and past president of the club, made this statement on behalf of the club at The Greenyards. @MelroseRugby @DoddieWeir5

So we now have official confirmation that the last time a Borderer was not selected to play for Scotland was back January 24th 1925 - 99 years ago - when Scotland played France at Inverleith. That is some record which sadly comes to an end tomorrow. 😱
