Scottish Rugby in Rude Health ?

Some might claim Scottish rugby is in rude health, but alas the figures suggest there's some big issues in the sport.

A quick look at the fixtures & results pages of Scottish Rugby shows many unfulfilled fixtures over the opening 6 weeks of the season.

In the senior male leagues, the running total is 96 games not fulfilled. Some have been rescheduled, but many have just been awarded to one team or other.

This is a minor local issue affecting one part of the country - East, West, Calie and Borders Clubs are amongst those struggling, especially at the 2nd xv level.

Agenda 3 is the idea from the Union to create a sustainable future, but the way things are going, it will be a future that includes significanly fewer players and teams.
