Murphy Walker is set to complete a memorable week with his first Glasgow appearance in 18 months.

The 24-year-old prop has endured a hugely disrupted start to his professional career because of hamstring, neck, calf and knee injuries.

But the Scotland international will start against the Bulls in South Africa on Saturday, days after signing a new two-year deal.

Franco Smith has made 11 changes as the BKT United Rugby Championship leaders attempt to win in South Africa for the first time in six years.

Another Scotland prop, Jamie Bhatti, returns from injury for his first game since February in an all-new pack and Rory Darge is also fit again.

Gregor Hiddleston drops out with a calf injury while only Josh McKay, Kyle Steyn, Stafford McDowall and Sione Tuipulotu retain their place in the team.

URC top try-scorer Johnny Matthews is fit enough for a place on the bench following three weeks out.

Smith told glasgowwarriors.org: “The Bulls provide one of the sternest tests in the URC; they have one of the strongest home records in the competition at Loftus Versfeld, as well as a blend of physical forwards and dynamic backs.”

Glasgow Warriors: Josh McKay, Kyle Steyn (CAPT), Stafford McDowall, Sione Tuipulotu, Sebastian Cancelliere, Tom Jordan, George Horne, Jamie Bhatti, Grant Stewart, Murphy Walker, Gregor Brown, Scott Cummings, Matt Fagerson, Rory Darge, Jack Dempsey

Replacements: Johnny Matthews, Nathan McBeth, Zander Fagerson, Max Williamson, Euan Ferrie, Henco Venter, Jamie Dobie, Duncan Weir

Player-led change gets thumbs up but jury out on selection: Andy Goode

Sleightholme has been ok. Not surprised to see him dropped. He's got potential I think but maybe needs to come back in a year with some added hunger. Roebuck looks a better prospect right now, expect him to spend a lot of time chasing kicks. He's been brought in to provide kick chase in place of Freeman.

Shaun Edwards gives forthright response to Lions speculation

“The latest speculation about Farrell’s coaching team has rugby league legend Edwards working alongside Adam Jones, Paul O’Connell, and Richard Wigglesworth”

This would strike me as a really odd set up.

If Wigglesworth goes I suspect it will be as a skills or kicking coach, as I’d have thought the front runners for attack coach would be Townesend and Sherratt.

Adam Jones seems to have been touted for a while as the scrum coach, but I think that role could actually be the most competitive. Presumably Rowntree has been approached, and Tom Harrisson might be in contention too. There’s also an argument for saying the most successful scrum coach in the home nations for the past few years has been Nathan Catt…

Andrew Porter breaks silence on his role in Antoine Dupont incident

Easterby’s defence was “rugby players don't go out to injure each other, it just doesn't happen” tell that to Dan Cole after Cian Healy stamped on his ankle cuz he couldn't handle him in the scrum. Tell it to Brian O'Driscoll after Tana Umaga tried to break his neck. Pretty sure if the French international coach thinks this was a deliberate attempt to injure his star player, then there must be at least some precedent for it. It's not like Galthié was born yesterday, he's been around the block. Players do try and injure each other and I don't think it's a coincidence this awful challenge was on Dupont. When he made contact with Dupont's exposed leg Beirne was horizontal. Malicious or just utterly reckless, that ain't rucking.

Player-led change gets thumbs up but jury out on selection: Andy Goode

“I heard that the change in approach was player-led to a large extent”

Andy Goode led the campaign to get Borthwick installed as England coach in 2022, and has then spent the next two years implausibly arguing that everything good about England has been driven by the players, not the coaches.

If Goode is right about Borthwick being useless then that just discredits his own previous support of him, but it is noteworthy that Goode has never presented any evidence in support of the narrative of player-revolt. Notably those who have much greater access behind-the-scenes in the England camp (e.g. For the Love of Rugby) never seem to share Goode’s interpretation of the goings on there.

At this point though, whatever you think of Borthwick, or the style of rugby he plays, I hope we can all agree that Goode’s opinions aren’t worth the paper they’re written on (which is to say - given they aren’t written on paper - that they’re worth less than £0).

Gloucester-Hartpury and Saracens dig deep to set up PWR final

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible. telegram (@)techcyberforc texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)

Easterby hits back at France's conduct in the wake of Dupont injury

France has been the least penalized team in this edition of the 6 nations, and was also the least penalized last year. Are they playing a very silly game where the point is to not be penalized, except if it’s to receive a red card ?

I don’t understand how saying the situation is “incomprehensible” is indirectly blaming the ref, as many other people are collectively in charge of clarifying the situation. Moreover from reading these very comment sections, it seems that many fans don’t understand this decision either, so maybe there is something to explain there ?

Sam Prendergast leading race for Lions 10 jersey claims recent tour captain

I’m reaching out today with a heartfelt plea, hoping my experience can serve as a warning to others. I’m one of the millions who have lost everything to the Vourteige scam, and my story is a painful reminder of how easily trust can be exploited. It all started with promises of high returns: a 5-month contract, 2% monthly withdrawals on a free margin account. Everything sounded too good to be true, but I was drawn in by their convincing tactics and the allure of financial freedom. I trusted them so much that I borrowed a significant amount of money from banks, believing in the legitimacy of this investment. Unfortunately, I failed to see the warning signs and ignored the growing doubts I had.I ended up investing a substantial sum of $450,000, fully expecting to see profits and withdrawals, as promised. But that never happened. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t access any of my funds. The platform’s responses became more vague, and the withdrawals never came through. It soon became clear that I had been scammed, and I was left in a situation that could have led to complete financial ruin.At this point, I felt utterly hopeless. I was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the thought of facing my family, especially my parents, with this news was unbearable. They had no~ idea how~ deep I had gone into this investment, and I couldn’t bear to lose their trust. The shame I felt was overwhelming.But just when I thought there was no way out, I discovered a legitimate recovery team called Trust Geeks Hack Expert Website. www://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ They offered a glimmer of hope when everything seemed lost. The team worked tirelessly to guide me through the process of recovering my funds. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to recover 100% of my lost crypto funds. I can’t express how grateful I am for their expertise, support, and the relief I now feel.I’m sharing my story not to relive the pain, but to warn others. If you’re considering investing in anything that promises high returns with little risk, please do your research. Check trusted websites like Reddit and others to see if others have had similar experiences. Be cautious, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.Lastly, if you find yourself in a situation like mine, don’t give up. There are legitimate recovery teams out there that can help. Protect yourself, your finances, and your loved ones. The risks are real, but there is hope for recovery. E m a i l : info @ trustgeekshackexpert .. com And w h a t's A p p +1 7 1 9 4 9 2 2 6 9 3

Was Dublin drubbing the end of an era or a bump in the road for Ireland?

The structure of the national game in Ireland is small and doesn’t really need or require comparison with SA or FRA for example. It’s never been our way for wholesale changes and bleeding 6 or 7 new players across 5 games of the 6Nations.

Likely 3rd place finish and a triple crown while in the beginning of a soft rebuild, albeit in some key positions. They don’t obsess over 4 year world cup cycles as their is silverware up for grabs (Slam/Championship/3crown) every season.

They are clearly short in some positions and Prendergast is learning the hard way but there’s still more than 25 caps up for grabs between now and the next RWC.
