20 years ago GH Media came into being + the first match written about was @DalkeithRFC V @BroughtonRugby at Kings Park... It was great to head down to Broughton's Wardie home recently before their 2024/25 meeting + present both clubs with a copy of the match report from 2004/05

With the @Melrose7s coming up, no doubt @Scotlandteam + @lionsofficial legend Tom Smith's sad passing will be marked in an appropriate way between April 7 + 10 in the Borders - he was a prop, but he was a mobile one who starred when @WATSONIANFC won the famous event in 1996

What a bold move it was by Wayne Pivac to replace half backs Gareth Davies and Dan Biggar (now 148 caps between them) with Kieran Hardy and Callum Sheedy (now nine caps between them) with more than 30 mins to go, but it worked - tip of the hat to the @WelshRugbyUnion head coach

If 6 guys with a combined age of 163 who have 258 @Scotlandteam caps between them thought it was a good look to head out when not supposed to then they need to have a word - + if they thought they wouldn't get spotted in a central/popular Edinburgh venue, well that's madness...

🗣️ "She's not been to a rugby match before, it was great to see her. She's always cutting out the paper, even if there's a wee mention of my name. She made the effort to come out + it meant a lot for her." Nice words from @crosbiee5 on his "wee granny" after @Scotlandteam debut

Nice line from @Scotlandteam new boy @BenWhite_98 about Saturday... "I wish my grandpa [Jim from Edinburgh] could have still been alive to see it, I think he would have been honestly ecstatic, I don’t think he would quite believe it! It was a proud moment for me and my family."

After a long period on the sidelines through injury Cameron Redpath is back in action and starts at 10 for @BathRugby this weekend - could be timing his run perfectly to make his annual Calcutta Cup player of the match appearance for @Scotlandteam on February 5 😍

Just less than 12 months ago @jamiebhatti was playing for @MelroseRugby in a 27-24 win over @ChieftainsRC - on Saturday he could earn his first @Scotlandteam cap off the bench. Shows not only his hard work, but also that there is talent below the pro game in this country

Despite often looking this grumpy/confused (!) I do love my job and wanted to take time before the end of 2019 to thank everyone who has supported me over the last 12 months as GH Media has gone past 15 years in existence - have a great festive period and see you all in 2020!

It is a privilege to be able to tell @thomasjeffrey11 's story as the young rugby talent opens up about losing his father and dealing with injuries - he also gives advice to other people dealing with difficult situations and it is a fascinating insight

The strongest starting XV @Scotlandteam could pick - minus the injured 25-cap second-row Sarah Bonar and the suspended 30-cap centre Hannah Smith - with an impressive5⃣1⃣5⃣ caps among the starters and 5⃣5⃣ more to call upon off the bench 👍

After his brother Rhys Tait ( @GlasgowWarriors Academy) skippered @Scotlandteam under-20 from the back-row in 2022, Corey Tait ( @MuirBears ) has been named to start at hooker in the first @SixNationsU20 match of 2023 V England... A proud moment for the family + the town of Hawick

8 tries in 10 Tests - inc 5 in the 3 games @Scotlandteam won in the @SixNationsRugby - + yet you still feel there is more to come from Duhan van der Merwe in parts of his game, which I am sure is a frightening prospect for future opponents + maybe even @lionsofficial opponents...

Everyone was superb, but I thought Scott Cummings, Jonny Gray, Matt Fagerson and Cameron Redpath excelled while the replacements made a big difference when the game looked like it could turn in the last 20 - well done @Scotlandteam
