Melrose 7s

Today's the day, rugbys oldest 7s tournament is back.
Live just now on BBC2 Scotland & online http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bbctwo?area=scotland 5 hours of non stop rugby from the Greenyards. What a treat!

Aberdeen 0 - 49 Wasps

Big Gavs sprog looks like he has something about him

So it's a Glasgow Warriors V Germany final!

And Glasgow retain the title

Did I get that wrong, or did Gregor Young played for Glasgow in the final and score 2 having played for Jed earlier?

Good team effort against some pretty tough opposition throughout the tournament, no real easy games for them, certainly not the semi and final. I was most impressed by Hughes, Lyle, Bryce and Blake.
Bryce looks to me like he could become a very good centre, he's big, quick and has a great step and sound defence. Thought Blake looked to have very good skills, somewhere between a forward and a back, in fact he was first receiver on more than one occasion, he's worth keeping in Scottish rugby if possible I would say.

Justified, you are correct. He replaced Hughs who was injured

Yup, I was very impressed with Blake - his basic skills are excellent, and you can see there's a real rugby brain at work.

That Germany team must have been some hot sh!t to have put 21 points on a fully professional Glasgow side anchored by a renowned 7s specialist (Niko). Well done to them.

Wouldn't be surprised if Townsend was having a look at one or two of their players. The German team were very impressive and quite a few of them could easily be good enough for pro contracts.
In the end it was Glasgow's fitness that held out and got them the win over the Germans.
German rugby certainly seems to be on the up as their national XV is also doing pretty well at the moment.
