Bugger, Scotlands chances of getting out of the pool have decreased by about 50%.

Strange timing, right before a WC.

Arguably Scotlands best ever Fullback.

@Bones

Nothing specific, just that he can’t get to the place he needs to, fitness wise.

That’s why I said arguably.

Never saw Andy play. Gav was obviously a bit of a talisman for them but sometimes seemed a bit slow even for that era.

Shit at kicks from out in front against England too.

@MN5 I'm sure someone on here was bloody picking Gav ahead of Cullen recently.

As good as he was, that's some stretch.

Of course you’d pick Gav ahead of Cullen.

Cullen never played for Scotland you dingbat.

Gav was fucken great though. Better than any AB FB of his era.

Ok, probably equal to John Gallagher, but better than the rest.

He went from football hooligan to boy band member over the course of a single season

Couldn’t get in ahead of Gav, that’s why. Settled for Tier 2 in the end.

Talking of Andy Irvine, who remembers when he used to kick for touch from penalty using place kickc WR outlawed it fairly quickly?

True. Cullen did have a Scottish Grandmother but it’s hard to displace a guy like Gav. He moved to Paekākāriki after that and thankfully the All Blacks gave him a shot

No matter your allegiance, it sucks when you see a great player getting retired early by their body.

One of my all-time favourite players. Bit lippy at times on the field but backed that up with action. Huge loss for Scotland
