Iain Morrison writes inThe Scotsman about where the SRU has to go next following the departure of their CEO.
"This was a bit like Hamlet without the prince or, depending upon your allegiance, Dracula without the Count but, even in the absence of the deposed chief executive Gordon McKie, and all the controversy that came with him, this AGM was still a towsy affair.
McKie's interim successor, Jock Millican, paid tribute to the former boss and painted a rosy picture of the game in Scotland. Playing numbers have grown to 43,400 (of which 14,000 are adult) which is a big jump from the 24,000 low of six years ago.
It doesn't feel like playing numbers have almost doubled but, since much of the growth comes at age-grade level and the numbers are audited, presumably they are correct. How to keep the youngsters playing the game as adults is the next big test."
