Colin Noon is someone who interests me greatly. I tried to sign him for Edinburgh a couple of times and although I would have to speak to other selectors before making a decision.

Everyone connected with Scottish rugby should be celebrating Simon's comeback. He is such an important player - both for Edinburgh and the national squad.

We tried to stump him, and we got him on a couple things.

As a proud and passionate Scot this is the ultimate honour and one that I am determined to enjoy,

I've long held the view that we have to best harness what we have by attacking in different ways. In the past, Scotland have had a restricted attacking strategy. They have not used all the possible areas of attack open to them. Wide, close, through the middle, through the boot - there are many options. You have to unsettle the opposition.

We targeted the Llanelli line-out and it was especially pleasing to see Scott and Ally Kellock come up trumps.
