The only good thing about the ticket pre-sale omni-shambles this morning is that it took my mind off the fact that we mightn't have any unbroken props left for the next game. The last few posts have put it front and centre again. Hope Nathan recovers well.
What happens if we can't name 4 fit props for the matchday 23?

i think if it was just normal HIA return to play protocols he would have been back playing by now so it's clearly worse than first expected, i heard also that he's still recovering and unlikely to take part in any more games this season.

Well I was told a specific story that I don't want to repeat by someone I believe but I do understand the point ye are making.

Let's leave White's health there so.

Do we have any source for this information as I'm not sure we should be speculating about a players health in this way, this is how rumours get started

Feel for Nathan and all players who suffer head trauma this seriously.

I hope he does what is best for him.

Buckley is a definite possibility for the semi. He has said he is hopeful himself.

As regards Nathan White I heard he is having serious issues with regards to headaches etc. From what I hear, he is 100% out for the rest of the season and there is some concern for him generally.

Unless his Glasgow contract will barr him from Sevens while Glasgow still in Pro12....

Nope. Fiji coach has confirmed it's for Paris only. I thought initially it was both.
Besides if he is selected for London 7s Glasgow can't stop him as it's within the world rugby player release dates.

Big choice to make.
Toulon have told Halfpenny he won't be paid if he leaves before the end of the season to play for Wales.

Ah OK, I thought you were saying they were happy to lose and get us away rather than win and get Ulster at home. Going to the RDS or Ravenhill was never really on the cards for them.


The RDS could have been on. If Connacht got a bonus point win and Glasgow didn't get anything then they would be playing Leinster in the RDS.

Would be much more confident with either of those teams than you guys again.
