come on shire Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think Stade rested lots of players as the French sides traditionally do for that tournament. Edinburgh should hopefully be in the Champions Cup next season but for the first time in a few years they will be playing far stronger sides who will be competitive. It'll be an acid test for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Glasgow getting pumped. 29-7 and still not half time. Put it off early. Glasgow pretty much going through the motions. Next week could be the same with Exeter still in with a shout of qualifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that the referee is pinging the hookers and scrum halfs for ripping the piss at the scrum feed. Can't remember ever seeing it before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if the ref had been given a new set of laws to try out, nobody else seems to bother their arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Further update on the Super 6 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/42675944 Seems 7 different groups have come forward and expressed and interest which is good. Reading between the lines, all the clubs that have come forward have stated they still want to run an amateur club which will still be in the top level, and in some area's (at least one) a group of clubs have expressed an interest in having a pro club. Also good that it looks like all the academy scotland players are going to be involved and allocated a club, for too long our promising youngsters have been starved of decent game time - we are still seeing players emerging at 24/25, as they dont get the game time, when it should be 21/22. Still sounds like they have no idea what the fixture list will look like, I had assumed they would have put them all forward for the B&I Cup, but sounds more likely that they are trying to organise something else, but I cant see any other clubs being that interested, unless its the European Trophy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Six Nations squad announced. Townsend must really have a sore point for Josh Strauss and Tim Visser. No surprises at all really. A return for Dave Denton is one of the few somewhat unexpected moves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think Toony goes with what he knows. Strauss was a great servant for the Warriors but never matched the form in a Scotland top imho. Visser is great going forward but his tackling is still the fly in the ointment perhaps? Denton was the starting No.8 in a Scotland team that made the wooden spoon their own in the 6N. Wilson and Barclay much better options. Denton is just a squad player imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Visser he's good but massive competition in the backs; look at all the names and think back to when we had Parks, De Luca and Rollo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long gone is the Rollo/Henderson dream pairing. I feel a couple of players maybe caught lightening in a bottle in the Autumn, but there’s nobody in that squad you’d say is completely without merit. Okay, clearly Lawson is in because of injury, but other than that, it’s a deep squad, front row aside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 No huge complaints but really don't understand why Fowles is in there. We have 3 scrum halves, it'll wind up Hidalgo-Clyne and probably lead to him going down south and I don't rate him at all. Also I expected it as Townsend has clearly fallen out with Strauss but I'd definitely prefer him to Denton. And Scott Lawson! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the biggest shake up of Scottish rugby in years and doesn't seem like they have anything finalised 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieda Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Six Nations squad announced. Townsend must really have a sore point for Josh Strauss and Tim Visser. No surprises at all really. A return for Dave Denton is one of the few somewhat unexpected moves. Such a good squad compared to the very recent past. There's guys that are fit that can't make the 40 man squad that i would be happy with them as starters. A real blow having so many front row injuries. Don't get the 4th scrum half, he's not even the future with Horne coming through. Keeping Russel fit is massively important! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 As long as the injuries don't get so bad that Lawson actually gets a game, that's fine. You could argue it's harsh on Strauss, Visser and Scott, but you could equally argue it'd be harsh on the players they'd replace and that's the depth we have now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Is G Horne still with the U20's which is the only reason I can see for taking Fowles over him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
