Swarley Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Just back from holiday in Fiji. Quite liked the World Cup top but plumped for the 7s shirt. No photos because I don't want you guys getting all jealous of my amazing physique or sending me Grindr requests! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Grigg, Steyn, Pyrgos and Graham cut from WC squad. From that I assume Taylor is fit and raring to go, Pyrgos and Graham no real suprise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Some of the Glasgow fans had convinced themselves that Steyn was the form 13 None of those four were ever going. 2019 Pyrgos playing in a World Cup might have ended me. Possibly the only thing that could top Shinnie at left back in Kazakhstan in the inevitable disaster stakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I thought Steyn had an outside chance as he can play wing and centre and had a strong finish to the season, so would have been a good option to have on the bench, but I would think Taylor takes that spot now, if he isn't starting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 At the moment Steyn is a solid option.A strong runner and a good defender. Scotland need difference makers outside Finn. It's definitely better to gamble with Jones, Hutchinson or Taylor than go for the solid 6/10 guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Scottish fans have a dilemma today. Do we want England to beat Wales or a Wales to win or draw and go numbr 1 in the world? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 England beating Wales, which is the lesser of 2 evils as the Welsh would have been even more insufferable if they had won and gone top of the world rankings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've been asked a few times by Aussie mates how I think Scotland will go in the World Cup. I've no idea so I'm asking the experts. 2nd in the Group then beaten by SA/NZ in the Quarters? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope so, but seeing stuff like this gives me the fear, especially as Scotland have only a 4 day turnaround before they play Japan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
