I cant believe that Rory Kerr hasn't been given the chance! What does he have to do to get a look in? Move to Edinburgh.... Surely he would be more deserving than Matt Dey (who?).

Andy Hall? Reckon Glasgows pack's looked better without him last few games! Surprised Donnie's not in the squad him and Lamont would be my first two picks. Hopefully having eleven Glasgow players called up doesn't destort stuff to much for Friday and what does it mean some players we better get everyone back this games more important than Scotland v France

Andy is a good player although I do think big Nathan and Joe have worked well together doing the dirty work. Nathan is having a superb season - big Shade must be doing the trick because Nathan is hitting tacklers lower and making lots of hard yards.

Glad for Glasgow that Donnie is still with us but disappointed for him. What more does the guy have to do? Hogg and Cross getting in ahead is bad enough but Mower?

Actually think it's quite a good six nations for our boys to miss. It gives Euan M, Sean L and Dan P a chance to settle into professional rugby and develop. I'd rather see guys like Donnie and Rory get the call at this time.

Well said, JK. I hope this doesn't affect things on Friday - its a crucial game for both Glasgow and Borders. Its a good chance for Andy and the others - good luck to all 11!

Ditto. I wonder where they'd rather be? Winning's addictive...I recall
