Stewarts Melville Rugby Club is firing up their National League Division Two season with a trio of fresh Canadian talent—Caleb McEleney, Owen MacKinnon, and Nate Barnes—straight from the Oshawa Vikings, ready to play right away thanks to the Canadian summer league. This international boost, part of the club’s growing global network, follows the departure of beloved Kiwi duo Hayden Hart and Curtis Williams. Meanwhile, ex-Edinburgh fly-half Ross Thompson joins as skills coach, teaming up with fellow Edinburgh pro Connor Boyle, setting the stage for a dynamic, well-rounded squad poised to make waves this season.

Dept Q’s second season is hitting Edinburgh with cinematic grit, featuring hyper-detailed sets from Carl Morck’s cluttered apartment to the rain-slicked basement of Department Q. Filming races against time as a key exterior location faces demolition, prompting digital scans for future use. Showrunner Scott Frank chose Scotland for its atmospheric architecture and studio space, crafting the first major English-language adaptation of the Danish novels — and he fell hard for the city’s moody charm. The cast, led by Matthew Goode’s grumpy but evolving Morck, leans into Scottish noir with dark humor that sets this apart from its Scandinavian roots. Beyond the cameras, the production invests in local youth through hands-on training programs, fueling hopes for a long-running “Tartan Noir” saga across eight more books.
