One Edinburgh player went to the Pro12 awards dressed in the most Scottish way possible

Sam Hidalgo-Clyne cross-bred a kilt with a pair of slacks.

THE PRO12 END of year awards ceremony was on in Dublin last night, and Edinburgh scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne was in town to accept the Young Player of the Year statue.

Being Scottish, his natural instinct was probably to kilt up but given that it is Ireland in May, the possibility of an impromptu monsoon caused him to improvise.

Higalgo-Clyne managed to capture the tartan essence of the kilt and seamlessly transport it into a traditional pair of trousers. A bigger achievement than Young Player of the Year, reallyโ€ฆ

Sam Hidalgo-Clyne Edinburgh Rugby receives the Guinness PRO12 young player of the year award from David Jordan

The thinking manโ€™s kilt is much better for people who are worried about accidentally sitting on a beanbag chair and exposing themselves to a room full of people. This could be Hidalgo-Clyneโ€™s real legacy, forget all that rugby stuff.

Warren Gatland will not be happy that one of his biggest stars has decided to play in England

    without question it should have been red, the yellow card was a disgrace, distin should also had a straight red for his blatant elbow to skertelsโ€™ face

    Suarez injured Mirallas in the derby last season and didnโ€™t even get a yellow for a deliberate stamp. So revenge for Mirallas was sweet. Should have been a red but a player like Suarez reaps what he sows.

    Itโ€™s a red card but in life sometimes you donโ€™t get them. Iโ€™m sure the Everton fans would point to a similar incident in the derby last year when Suarez stayed on after a nailed on red that put Mirales out for 3 months.

    It probably should have been a red but the Liverpool doctor was a disgrace. He clearly tried to tell the ref what to do. Once he had done that the ref couldnโ€™t give a red or it would have looked like he was taking instructions from the Liverpool bench.

    I normally donโ€™t watch the premiership games but that was an absolute cracker.
