Aidan Smith: Hogg and Russell with both be 31 come the next World Cup. It's now-or-never time for them.
It was a blustery day, Murrayfield contriving a more than decent impression of the old Hampden swirl. Sam Skinner passed to Duhan van der Merwe but the ball went marginally behind the winger who couldn’t gather. Then, a few minutes later, same part of the pitch, just below us, Chris Harris passed and this time the ball was slightly ahead of the intended recipient – Stuart Hogg sprinting as fast as he could to get there and sticking out his chunky wee arms but, ach, that one went awry as well.
