peasy23 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 As much as I like George Horne, his game management was absolutely awful tonight, the number of times he tried to be a hero and go it alone was beyond a joke. Instead of the quick taps when none of your team mates are ready, why not kick for touch and gain more ground? Also, the atmosphere at Scotstoun tonight was largely non-existent, as it has been for the majority of the season, which is quite disappointing. Think the fact the lineout wasn't functioning at all swayed the decision not to kick to touch, but you're right, couple of times he got himself isolated and led to losing the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David990 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Very frustrating to watch tonight and another season where were already out of Europe. Smash on in the league now and end the year unbeaten domestically this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I know it's not as strong a competition, but over the years Edinburgh seem to get the job done more often in Europe than Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

same_ol_g35 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Not one member of the London Irish match squad is Irish. Times have changed It's a great loss that all three exiles teams haven't kept strong links with their respective 'home' unions. I know Scotland has made some contact in recent years, but there hasn't seemed to be much coming from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I saw the Edinburgh team about 5 o'clock and thought for the first time in a while it looked really strong. If they can field a team of similar strength regularly they'll become a decent team. Glasgow might have a tough couple of games coming up. Good to see Darcy Graham getting some meat on debut too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David990 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The likely hood of it ever happening is slim, but if Glasgow could play in the Challenge cup for a season and come out on top, it would probably give them a massive boost for Champions cup rugby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 See this nonsense at Melrose v Ayr yesterday? Ayr turned-up, got stripped, warmed-up, the teams were named, fans were in the ground and even the coin tossed to decide kick-off... then with seconds left they decided they did not feel the pitch was playable and declined to play. Apparently this is perfectly permissible in Scottish domestic rugby: passing the park playable isn't up to the referee. Melrose are unsurprisingly raging saying in their view it was "absolutely playable" and their players were happy to play, inferring Ayr were at it due to injuries.https://www.scotsman.com/sport/rugby-union/ayr/ayr-refuse-to-play-melrose-seconds-before-kick-off-1-4635106 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddfg Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Irish professional rugby showing us all up again this weekend. Small margins tho, Leinster high tackle with Exeter player heading for the try line, penalty no other action, even Brian O'Driscoll was saying it should have been a yellow card and penalty try. Either the same game or Ulster try goes to TMO and gets ruled out due to lack of conclusive evidence of grounding but Montpellier get try in roughly same circumstances. That said the Irish teams all seem better drilled, less prone to unforced errors and more "professional", 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
