This game was added to schedule outside World Rugby’s international window to raise cash for WRU and SRU. Having Doddie’s name attached generates a lot of good will which wouldn’t otherwise be there. Time for the governing bodies to do right thing.

We’d hoped to bring report from today’s Scotland U19 Select match v Australian Schools. Tough first half for the boys but they were sticking in well. Unfortunately we’ve now been asked to leave by SRU. Apparently it’s a closed training match. Apart from being open to spectators.
