Imagine letting Rio Dyer run the length of the park. Ignoring the danger man loses you games.
Had LRZ been on the 2nd half we'd be done.

Taxi for Toony.

I'd usually be worried but Wales are absolute shite. They had to finish that chance with the extra man but they still don't look near a proper Wales team
Maybe so but the yellow card has absolutely destroyed us. 11 penalties conceded with 25 mins left. Even at Murrayfield we won't get away with that next weekend when France visit.

11 penalties conceded is absolutely unacceptable. Any other team would go to town on us for that.

We're not nilling them then. Let's hope we don't let them back in to the game though.

Duhan's never scored a try against Wales. Then like buses 2 come at once.

I think we'd have the try BP in the bag had a couple of little accuracies come off.
My only issue was when Wales gave away the penalty for dissent. Finn should've kicked to the corner and put them under more pressure with us 10-0 up at the time.
Long way to go though.

There's a U turn for the game in Cardiff tomorrow.
The roof will be closed...

Blair Kinghorn will miss the 1st 2 games.
On paper I've seen stronger Welsh sides but Rio Dyer is quality. Won't be long till he gets a move away from the Dragons I'd wager.

Grant Gilchrist suspended for the first 6N game away to Wales. Ritchie Gray and Scott Cummings will start imo with Sam Skinner the bench option provided he doesn't start in the back row.
Gilchrist gives away too many penalties imo.

Glasgow away to Harlequins on Friday night 5th April. 8pm KO
Edinburgh at home to Bayonne on Saturday night 6th April. 8pm KO.

Due to the albeit primitive rule similarities I thought rugby league players would be more likely to try American football.
He could've went north of the border to try Canadian football first to see if he fancied the North American game though.

Can’t seem to find the Edinburgh game tonight on any channel except S4C. Is that like Alba so they’ll prattle away in Welsh?
Yes. It's BBC's Welsh language version of our BBC Alba. That's the only channel it's on. Maybe an English option on the red button but I'm not sure.

I thought the Georgian lad was first-ish choice as well?
It's clear what that La Rochelle in the Top14 is huge for them.

The visitors. They appear to be focusing on the Top 14. Ben White being rested ahead of the 6N it seems...

Team for tomorrow night. Good to see Dempsey and Steyn back ahead of the 6N...

Ah yes. I see he is now working at Merchiston, the school where his father literally paid for his place in the Scottish Schools team, and then somehow got picked for the proper team.
Back when proper players wore gloves.
It reminds me of F1 where the Canadian driver Lance Stroll is driving for an average at best Williams team but dare they drop him as his billionaire dad's a huge financial backer?

I won't lie. There's a few curveballs in the Scotland squad announcement for me.
Harris is a B&I Lion but isn't in the squad. I'd wager there'll be a place for him should injuries occur but at first I thought that playing with a poor Gloucester team (albeit one that ran Bath close at the Rec then won in Edinburgh) might have went against him, but then I noticed that Adam Hastings is in there.
I'm surprised that Hamish Watson isn't there either. I did think that maybe injury leading up to the 6N perhaps went against him but then I noticed that Hastings, Darge and Redpath are all in a similar place but got picked. I'd think that Mish will get a chance should injuries etc occur though.
Overall I'm thinking that after exits at the pool stage in 2 World Cups in a row Toony has to crack the whip and shake things up. There's also 4 new caps coming in too which is exciting and provides new options.
We start in Cardiff vs Wales. Their captain and leader AWJ has finally called it a day and their star player LR-Z wants a shot at American football due to the cash. There's cash to be made playing rugby in France and Japan but that involves learning a new language. This needs to finally be the year we beat them there. If not then we never will.

The strength in depth at centre is absolutely unreal. The days of Andrew Henderson et al dropping passes at walking pace are long gone.
Mind de Luca?

We've got hands like feet. Too many knock ons. I reckon we'd be in at HT 10-0 up if Weir hadn't knocked on in his own goal area. We just put huge pressure on ourselves. Lucky not to have a guy in the bin either.
However defence and general organisation/discipline has been excellent.
Fisilau should've went for an early bath. Weir lowered his body height but Fisilau as the tackler made no effort to wrap. He's a lucky boy.

Maybe they've since edited it?
I've reread it and it turns out that I misread it from the start.
It is indeed just until the end of the current season.
I stand corrected...

Glad to hear he's getting on well. Didn't realise it was until the end of next season he was with you guys.
Hopefully Gomis can bring some experience to the side and help turn things around. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that nobody wants to see the Shire fall any further.
Have there been any updates on the stadium situation? I read that they were considering moving into Grangemouth's stadium going forward? Still don't quite understand why they left Firs Park in the first place.
I've heard about Grangemouth stadium but I don't know the political ins and outs about the club unfortunately.
My family are all Falkirk supporters. I copied my papa at supporting football so I'm the odd one out...

It's just the end of this season according to our press release.
Shire's FB promoted it as the end of next season.

The only positive is that we should get the BP try as we'll need that to get over the line imo.
