- The cream always comes to the top. Currie’s young guns are beginning to find their feet, with Harvey Elms again to the fore.
- Heriots’ problems are perhaps more deep rooted than Phil Smith initially thought – and three of the play-off slots already appear booked.
- If Hawks can get on the front foot, a back three of Sean Lamont, Kerr Gosman and Junior Bulumakau is dynamite.
- Fourteen tries conceded. Where do Hawick go from here?
- Ayr can be beaten – but you need to play very well, and you need to really want it.
- Peter Wright is maybe a better coach than the SRU choose to think.
- Gala need to fix their scrum in order to reap the benefit of their talented young backs.
- Watsonians are tending to play to their forward strength, with little of their traditional style.
- A good day for Melrose – no psychological damage from last week’s defeat at Millbrae – and Ayr slipped up.
- Stirling now know that Melrose at the Greenyards is a totally different proposition from Gala at Bridgehaugh.
