I'm sure the other episodes have been good but I had to share this one because it has SCHOOE writing and reading out some of his poetry at 13 mins.

It's not half bad like. Obviously been practicing at Burns Night over the years.

I love the idea of there being some student union poetry meetup where Pierre finishes his spiel and the crowd respond, SCHOE!

Feel sorry for the Saffa mercs having to prove how Scottish they are all the time but this one was funny.

VDM's career was over before Edinburgh picked him up due to injury concerns so his earnest appeals to the debt he owes Scotland are less amusing (but still sweet).

Re: vdm. Far too many players don't get enough opportunities later in life. Most men don't fill out and understand risk until about 26. In Scotland the number of Premiership players in Scotland that would do amazing with a year on the books of Edinburgh/Glasgow is hard to even fathom. Obviously the same in SA

This is a good documentary though, didn't realise they had such a high quality production team on tour with them
