BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Just been educated about the new “Single Malt” law in England that there’s has been a bit of noise about. Been hearing they’re the same as Scotland and Ireland. Turns out that’s not true and the guidelines in Scotland and Ireland are far more difficult to meet. Who saw that coming 🙄 000
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 25/09/2026So here we are again my friends. The URC begins again for the 26/27 season. Good luck to everyone. Except Leinster (obvs). You can go screw yourselves 😉 1100

BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Hey all. Any #Jedforest people on here? How’s the parking at Riverside? When I went to the 7s I parked in the Woollen Mill carpark down the road, but I’m guessing the Marr game won’t be so busy! Cheers in advance. 011

BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Ok, last rugby rant until the next one. I’ve seen some posts about the great success of Scotland u20s posting Nucifora’s face. The average age of the u20s players is about 19. He joined the SRU less than 2 years ago. There is NO FECKING CHANCE his influence had anything to do with that success. 041

BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 21/07/2026So, I have a large and very busy wasps nest in the external wall of my house, beside my bedroom window. I have some nest killing powder, a ladder and an incontrollable, irrational phobia. But I’ve had an unusual, mid-week large whisky and I have some protective clothing. I’m going in. Wish me luck. 260
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 21/07/2026@bloodandmud.bsky.social @joshgardner.bsky.social Just caught up on the pod and heard that you guys were 10 years in! Congrats to both of you. That’s some stint! Reckon I’ve been listening for 8 of those! 030
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Just caught up with @thetrawl.bsky.social podcast with Anthony Scaramucci. Apart from being quite excellent, his quote, when asked about Musk, is a new one on me. He likened being very rich to taking drugs. “The very rich smoke the bong of their own bullshit.” Love it!! 😂 021
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Hey folks. Anybody on here used an esim for travel to the US (specifically NYC). Any recommendations? 100
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 08/06/2026It’s very difficult to get supermarket pizza right. I usually avoid it, but thought I’d treat myself today. So I’d just like to compliment #Tesco on their exemplary use of Bland. To witness their corporate chefs use Bland with such precision and abandon is a lesson to all aspiring cooks. 000
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 12/05/2026So Ulster supporters on here. What are you thinking the club should do. Go all out at home against Glasgow to secure top 8, but risk top players. Or rest some of your best against Glasgow to try for silverware in Europe and get a Champions Cup place anyway. An interesting conundrum you have. 530
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 05/05/2026To my friends here, I have ditched Autocarrot completely. I did this a fews days ago, as I was annoyed by the system ‘completing’ words that were not my intent, rather than correcting spelling. It will inevitably lead to even more errors, as my brain kicks back into gear. Please bear with me. 020
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I wear a lot of T-shirts and just ordering some new ones that I’ve put off until I’d moved house. Don’t need T-shirts to make a statement but I love stuff where ‘if you know, you know’. Love this one!! 220
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Watched the Ulster game an hour behind ‘live’, Great game of rugby and I thoroughly enjoyed it as a neutral. Although. Exeter are… A. English B. Have overtly racist fans and management C. My Ex-Wife’s Team. So Neutral may be doing a bit of heavy lifting there… 160

BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 25/04/2026So Leinster lost to Benetton. Interested to hear from Leinster supporters. Was it the Ref, the laws, the lack of international players available to you, or maybe the pasta? Just curious. 350
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 25/04/2026We all loved the Rees Carré try, and rightly so. Molly Pullman of Scotland. Less impressed. “I can do better. I’ll sell a dummy and score under the posts”. Not a great overall result but this was an absolutely cracking try from the tight head. fb.watch/GIMtR9lWmn/?fs=e 082
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Hey folks. Question for anyone who has needed to get a US visa recently. Close friends’ daughter has a place for Camp America and has just been to London to arrange a Visa. The application came back as ‘denied’ but they’ve taken her passport and want to check her social media. Is this ‘normal’? 200

Reposted by BorderBadgerScottish Rugby Podcast @scotrugbypod.bsky.social · 09/04/2026The pod is back tonight, let's have your Hands In The Ruck and 50:22 suggestions for our consideration 021
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Let’s be clear. Every Edinburgh try was a result of either Leinster mistakes (intercepts) or individual brilliance (Darcy Graham!). Not a single try was scored because of guile, deceit or cleverness in the Edinburgh attack. Their weakness in attack is only surpassed by their weakness in defence. 140
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 05/04/2026After another inevitable yet completely avoidable defeat (at half time), a chant for the Edinburgh coaching setup: ”Extended in the morning. You’re getting extended in the morning Extended in the morning…” 040

BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Just back from the shop in Kelso and clearly been through some sort of inter-dimensional portal because according to the internet here, the Dragons have beaten Stade Francais. In France 😂. Mad. Can you imagine if that was real!? The fallout in Paris would be nuclear! 020
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Nobody on half time chat going to talk about the fact that Castre are still ahead having played ~7 minutes with 13 and a further ~6 minutes with 14… No? Beuller…? 020
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 03/04/2026I genuinely like Dallaglio as a player. The kind of ‘bastard’ you want playing for your team. But as a pundit he’s fecking unbearably one-eyed. 080

BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Some fantastic work done by a contributor called Mango_Yoghurt on the Scottish Rugby subreddit. Some very interesting conclusions to be drawn here. The ‘Zero’ line is each coaches start of tenure… 040
BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Alex Samuel pretty much owning RJ Snyman and Scotland 20s Jonny Ventesie (in his first pro game) containing Reiko Ioane was an interesting vibe. Bet IRFU are figuring that was money well spent. 😂 1211

We’ve the URC, Top14 and Super Rigby. Go watch. Pick a team. I’d recommend a couple but basically any will do. The madness continues. 3196

BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Said it at the time and I’ll say it again, I am amazed Wales didn’t play Ellis Mee against Scotland. Genuinely think he would have made a difference for them. 010

BorderBadger @borderbadger.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Been listening to some ‘reaction’ pods from the weekend and reading some of the English post-match articles today. The one conclusion I’ve drawn is that the majority of their Journos and podcasters (and possibly the team and coaches) watch very little URC. Prove me wrong. 9172
