Absolute Ridiculous!!! Dan Parks playing for Glasgow again!!! Well looks like Hadden is sticking with Godman, I don't think thats such a good idea

Personally, I'm absolutely delighted Dan is playing tomorrow night. And I'm sure it will do more for those involved to play with a winning side. Don't expect the national squad is a very happy place to be at the moment.

Big John always used to say the same thing he'd rather players turned out and played well for Glasgow than played for Scotland. That's why he was such a big fan of Tommy Hayes.

I must admit that if only for the sake of Godman's future confidence, I don't think Hadden could drop him. I still think Dan's the man for the game in Paris.

Of course, Uncle Frank may just want Dan to get a bit of match practice in! He's only had one game since England. Still looks like a team that could get the points.

Good squad as normal. Dan is a great number 10 and if Hadden cant see that then its his fault. Pleased Thom is back from injury and that Donnie is on the bench. Shame Rory is out especially if he is leaving, the Warriors fans want to see him go out on a high.
