honestly united Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Couple of strange picks in their but the stand out for me is, Phil Burleigh (is he in under 3 years residency or does he have a scottish granny?) at 30 over Jackson / Hastings / Thompson is a suprise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burleigh covers 10 and centre and is a pretty smart player. Have liked him so far at embra but didn't realise he was eligible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Our backs look pretty decent. Of all the picks Denton is one that surprised me most. Always a hard grafter but terrible hands and kinda predictable when carrying. Think we have plenty of better options these days. Would have liked to see George Horne in there too but overall looks a good group 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhatti I dont think has started a league game for Glasgow either, and Im sure he has played for Bath. He signed for Embra in 2014, so would be elligible at some point soon, my thinking is although we might get 2 or 3 years out of Burleigh I would rather be looking a bit more long term for back up at 10 / potential replacement for Finn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be keener on mccallum tbh. Yeah hastings is defo the future but there's plenty of time for likes of him n Horne. Is only a training squad. Kinda hoping we aren't going to persevere with laidlaw. Much as he is a good leader and a decent kicker it's time to ensure price is developed for next rwc. Also don't think laidlaws slow delivery is much use to finn. Finn revelled in the quick service from price v Italy n Oz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/south-africa-just-start-world-13484553 Not much given away in this article and just covers what we all already know. However I think the important thing is that although the Americans are considered to join they are not the only option. Expanding into Spain and Germany would be the best option for travel and time zones. Warmer climate and the fact these nations are slowly but surely getting better and more professional means they could offer a challenge up to the Italians. I hope these two conferences work for the league the teams and the fans. Look forward to the start of the new season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Scotland training squad. Just noticed there is no mention of Strauss at all, is he being dropped completely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey good spot....surely we wouldn't be dropping him.....arguably best 8 in 6n...if not the best certainly up there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Strauss is good but better than Faletau or Stander? On basis of last few pro 12 seasons....yeah I'd have him right up in those echelons. Stander looked ordinary in a lot of the lions tour games. Never seen a fully fit Strauss anything less than superb. Even half fit he's useful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 David Denton was in the squad. Personally speaking we have Strauss, Wilson and even Adam Ashe who are proven No.8's. Denton really shouldn't be getting a look in tbh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Glasgow side for warm up game v Northampton. Very young side indeed. Excited to see Horne n hastings play together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Bresler Gary Holt (of Exodus and Slayer fame, as opposed to Scotland international and Scottish Cup winner with Kilmarnock) Swap the guitar and the ball and no one is going to notice the difference, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if on DeathandDestruction.com there's a thread in which hardened rock fans talk about how the guitarist from Slayer sounds like he should be playing in midfield for a middling Scottish football team?
