Big five points for Glasgow, who only went in front for the first time right at the death. Much more like the Benetton of old at the Monigo but Smith's men dug it out impressively. Another fine URC weekend for the Scots
Really liking the vibe in and around Kingston Park - lots of good people relishing the opportunity to think big in their roles with the backing of a global powerhouse. Half-time entertainment was certainly different too
Filthy night, but great to get a wee escape over the border to cover Newcastle Red Bulls v Sale Sharks @TimesSport. From a media perspective, @markismith50 is always helpful, straightforward and honest - another nice change when you're used to dealing with the SRU
Signed on the dotted line. ✍️🔒
Edinburgh Rugby is delighted to announce Hector Patterson has signed an improved contract with the club, keeping him in the capital until the end of the 2027/28 season 👇

Edinburgh have fended off the English and French interest in Hector Patterson revealed by @TimesSport earlier this month to secure the highly talented scrum half on a new two-year deal. Good news all round
Exclusive @TimesSport: Edinburgh face a fight to hold onto Hector Patterson as leading Top 14 and Prem clubs circle the talented 21-year-old scrum half. Complicating factor is Patterson being English-qualified. He's out of contract at end of the season. thetimes.com/sport/scottish/…

"My job as a Test Match Special commentator was to be an entertainer first and foremost; to find something interesting that’s happening... be it buses, be it helicopters, be it pigeons or a battle in the middle between two players"

A rare treat to blether with the great @blowersh on all things TMS, modern greats, London buses and Edinburgh, where he's speaking at a @CricDevTrustSco fundraiser a week today. Interview @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/cricket/a… (1/2)
For more info on the @CricDevTrustSco fundraiser on October 25 at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh where @blowersh is the main attraction see cdts.org.uk/events (2/2)
Jamie Dobie is today's Sunday Times cover star as Glasgow get their Champions Cup campaign off to a flyer. @TimesSport analysis from CorpAcq Stadium: thetimes.com/sport/rugby-uni…
An absolute masterpiece from Jamie Dobie, brilliantly captured by @CraigWatsonpix
Glorious day in Greater Manchester as Glasgow Warriors bid to repeat last season's round 1 Champions Cup win over Sale Sharks
The White stuff from Toulon who were too dogged, too physical and too much for a disappointingly error-heavy Edinburgh. Jaminet and Serin proper silky as ever
