Which will see Kinghorn resort back to 15, giving Townsend a get out. Townsend has too much hubris to resign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 That forward pop pass is something Sexton does on purpose. England tried it a few times yesterday as well. It makes it a lot easier to come onto the ball at pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I've got a lot of sympathy for the Georgian ref there as both teams were determined to cheat at every ruck but the TMO has to be questioned on the Bealham pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the type of forward pass that the old boys who ref my absolutely dugmeat amateur team on a saturday manage to spot every week as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an incredible miss from the ref/tmo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 From reading this, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/63554592 It sounds like the slim chance of getting Mercer moves down to zero if he is speaking to the England set up on a weekly basis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What annoys me though is we've had a wee bit of trouble on the 10/12 axis for a while now for me. The one that's tended to work best, for me anyway, is Russel and Sam Johnson, but I feel with Harris in there they are very samey. The other one that's looked best has been Russell and Redpath, but to the best of my knowledgeable it's only happened once, against England. This seemed like a good opportunity to give it a go again, but nah, it'll be something else again, probably Tuipolotu at 12. Or something weird involving Mark Bennett because he's not played yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be Tuipulotu outside kinghorn, as Townsend will have thought they linked pretty well together against Australia. Just remembering the high point of Townsend's time was pretty much bang on 4 years ago, his first full year in charge was so promising overall. Taking a superior ABs team to the wire. Imo it's improbable we keep it below a 20 point gap this time round. Comparing this year with 2018 is depressing. Again, he's going nowhere, but what a wasted opportunity it's all been 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Kinghorn Tuipolotu at 10/12 when we could have had Russell and Redpath is just depressing The fact that all of Tuiplotu's best games for Glasgow have been at 13, yet I dont think he has played there at all for Scotland is probably again down to Toonie's stuborness. Its going to be a sickener if he somehow starts Russells but pairs him with Stafford McDowall at 12 or something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrgos, Hamilton, Pyrgos, Pete Horne and Byron McGuigan all coming off the bench. Doubt many of them would get into our current team. Yet I'd back that team to pump the current one. Townsend probably has one of the best squads we've ever had at his disposal now, and he's completely fucked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definetly a coaching issue, back then we actually had a style of play and everyone knew what they were doing. We then went to the fastest team in the world then best defence, to having no idea what our style of play is supposed to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
