Now, this is curlin' !!

“You have to think, think, think” joked Scottish Skip David Murdoch after the game in 2010. “It really does hurt your head after a while...I’m really going to need to get some aspirin! It [Skins] is a great format. I really enjoy it and it makes you have to think differently, outside the box and you have to think a lot more stones ahead than in normal curling.”
