Gerry Thornley - Irish Times

Rory Baldwin - Scottish Rugby Blog
I will renew (my season ticket) to make my contribution to the team I support so they can make plans accordingly to fund the DoR, new players, the Academy etc. Hopefully my faith will be rewarded with more good days out next season.
Gayl - WsetTerraceView
