All Blacks week, a shout-out to Robin the referee and have Edinburgh reverted to type?

Burnsy and Barney catch up for a quick review of last weekend's Arnold Clark Premiership action, where Ayr delivered another statement win, and Hawick took a big step towards safety with their away win over Edinburgh Accies.

They discuss how concerned we should be about Edinburgh's loss at Benetton, and celebrate Glasgow's free-wheeling start against Lions ... although they wobbles a but after the break.

And, of course, it All Blacks week, with Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend having some big selection decisions to make as his team seek to break their age-old losing record against a depleted New Zealand side.
