To get round the Welsh quarantine rules so they can make more cash That includes the rescheduled Scotland game also. I think its calling the bluff of the Welsh authorities as it will be millions lost to the welsh economy if the games are moved to London, so hoping the look at relaxing hte rules / letting crowds back in before end of October 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Another cracking game between the Blues and the Highlanders, both teams a little tighter round the breakdown too as they settle in to the new refereeing standards. Super Rugby Aotearoa has been brilliant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Warren Gatland's now played 3 lost 3 with the Chiefs. Pleasing...Haven't seen any games, but who would have thought that Gatlandball might not work in one of the most attack minded leagues in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Tbf (and I can't believe I'm standing up for Gatland) that's only since the shutdown. Prior to that he won 4/6. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Another week, another loss for Warren Gatland. Jordie Barrett kicked a fantastic 58 metre penalty for the Hurricanes just on half-time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 This is hilarious. If this happens to his B&I Lions team next summer with one token Scot no doubt getting just the last 5 mins of the 3rd Test it'll be absolutely glorious 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The standard in Super Rugby Aotearoa has been fantastic. I also watched the Waratahs-Reds game from Oz, and it was enjoyable, but definitely a level below 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I knew that, but given I was 6 when the SFS opened, I didn't really remember it being used before the SFS redevelopment started! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Richie Gray confirmed he's back available and seems pretty committed to Scotland in an interview on the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/53367495 Think he could be an important player in this WC cycle. Him, Jonny, Cummings and Skinner is a right good stable of locks anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
