Ben Cairns, Scotland's best rugby player? discuss

Ben Cairns, Scotland's best rugby player? discuss by Le Fromagier Extraordinaire.
I would have loved to see Ben get a cap for Scotland this year, especially in the match against Italy, however, his style of sharp incisive running and creating moments of magic out of nothing, seem to be undesired at national level.
I may be biased, as I saw him play for Currie, my club and rip the opposition apart. Hopefully next year?

On a *not* completely unrelated note, yesterday I read this on the Scotsman:

«The Scotland coach said in an interview yesterday that White has to undergo an operation to repair knee damage he has been playing with recently, while Ross Rennie, the Edinburgh flanker, and Leicester lock Jim Hamilton will also stay behind this summer to have clean-up operations. In stating that as many as 16 internationalists could be missing, Hadden insisted that he does not expect to have available his France-based players, Nathan Hines, Chris Cusiter and Scott Murray, that the Gloucester quartet of Chris Paterson, Rory Lawson, Alasdair Strokosch and Alasdair Dickinson may not travel with the squad if they are involved in the Guinness Premiership final, and that doubts remain over whether Simon Danielli, Nikki Walker, Rory Lamont, Allan Jacobsen, Craig Smith and Alastair Kellock will be fully recovered from injury and fit to play in the two-Test series on 7 and 14 June.»

So, if all these nice peeps are missing, I'm wondering: who’s going to tour Argentina (not on holiday, I mean)?

I think these summer tours are becoming a waste of time, with all the northern nations having very weak and out of condition sides travelling to the Southern Hemisphere. I think England will get murdered by New Zealand this summer too.
I think ben Cairns will go, but hopefully will benefit.

Well, I have nothing to say on this subject, but I did want to mention your new orange-faced icon! Very bright, and goes quite nicely with my green and purple!

He doesn't 'look' like a rugby star, always imagine big brutish men, this fella looks lean so no wonder he's fast and nippy.

I don't hold out much hope. I think it's out of our season, the motivation is low and Argentina always beat us anyway. Hernandez is though, a really class number 10, but so was the famous Argentinian number 10 Diego Dominguez, who starred for Italy.
