Goal-line drop-out
Several coaches working in Super League and the Championship have thrown their hats in the ring to replace Steve McCormack as Scotland coach. SRL chairman Keith Hogg has received over 30 applications for the post, which is available for the first time since 2004. McCormack resigned after the World Cup and his replacement will have until late October to prepare for the European Championship, the format of which will be confirmed next month. Expect a continuation of the round robin format – featuring Wales, Ireland, Scotland and France, with Italy missing out – unless a TV deal to finance England’s participation appears at the eleventh hour.

Has an England Knights game ever been televised ‘spud? I can’t recall their games in the Federation Cup being on TV.

Amateur hour..
Italy miss out because no ones paying England enough to play.
Never mind any consideration of whether the other nations actually want to play against an England B team.
Never mind asking Lebanon to participate as the 6th nation.

Looks like Edinburgh Eagles are playing Strathmore Silverbacks next weekend. Any other games?

Also looks like Edinburgh held a 9s mini tournament that included Saluzzo Roosters which was interesting. Any news on plans to include a Scottish team in the English lower league.

(Source for Eagles match and 9s was Edinburgh's FB page)
