@theoffsideline
Signing 17 year old South African’s. Is it just us that sees that as wrong? Or do the pro clubs have zero faith in the current academy structure/Super 6 format 🤦♂️🧐
Good news from today being Fraser Watt injury was not as serious as first feared, oxygen and stretcher a precautionary measure. Looks to be a mild concussion and the big man was upright and walking shortly after being taking inside. Again thanks to both medical teams for the help

What . A . Game
That’s an absolutely massive 5 points for us in one of the toughest places to come in the league.
And although we aren’t covering the 2nd XV game, it’s great to see Josh Evans eeling about the top pitch for the first time this season.
A half time replacement, his first carry results in a knock on before he played the ball on the ground conceding a penalty. Superb.
📣 PLAYER MILESTONE 📣
Scott Bickerstaff bagged his 200th try for the 1st XV yesterday in only his 239th appearance for the rugby club 👏🏻 That’s an absolutely ridiculous strike rate and one that would be hard to beat across any team/level in Scotland.
💜MARR COLLEGE WIN THE BARBARIAN CONFERENCE💛
For the 2nd year in a row Marr College win the Barbarian Conference. Congratulations to all players & coaches.
Special mention to 18’s & 16’s who both went 9&0!

Marr Rugby would like to thank the ball boys for their outstanding contributions to hone games at fortress Fullerton this season. They have turned up week in week out in all weathers! The boys very much appreciate their efforts. The purple and gold army march on! 💜💛
CONTROVERSIAL
After a number of phases, Beefy dives for the corner, comes up just short and the referee gives a holding penalty?! Is he okay? Topnot nonsense!!!
What a shift from all the Prem boys which is apparently not fit for purpose. B*llocks I say!
