breakfast at murrayfield

I really don’t know what puzzles me most:

– using a flanker as a scrum-half (Mauro Bergamasco, pictured right, photo by Fiore)

or

– leaving the best utility back evah on the bench (Chris Paterson, pictured left, photo by me).

. . .

.

OK, the latter — I really, really can’t get over that, honest, I’ve been shaking my head in disapprovement all afternoon, trying to cheer myself up saying “well, at least Dan Parks is out of sight altogether” (sorry, Mr.Parks, it’s not you, it’s me. OK, no, it’s you. Apologies.).

(Rory at Scottish Rugby Blog has some thoughts to share on this subject, too.)

p.s.: good luck, Mauro. I mean, seriously.
