ajwffc Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Nel is out of the Six Nations and more than likely the Lions/Our Summer tours. After having surgery on his neck injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Pretty good squad.....I'd swap price for laidlaw n have johnny as skipper n very tough on swinson not to start. If you'd said a few years back someone like mark bennett would only make the bench you would have been laughed at. Such a strong backline from 10 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 If we can hold our own in the scrum / ruck / maul we have a chance of winning any game with that back line. Only changes I would make would be replacing Ford on the bench (positive he isn't starting though) and maybe Weir. Due to the injuries there is only really Jackson to replace him with and he's mainly benching for Harlequins 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'm happy enough with Weir there. He's nothing special but is solid enough at 10. I'd say he's better than Keatley who Ireland have as 10 cover this weekend. Brown in is a huge positive but Glasgow's lineout has been a bit up and down. I'd endorse the Price for Laidlaw, but only because I'm a long termer and I'm thinking next WC. I wouldn't be surprised if Laidlaw retires this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very bad during rwc cycles of lettings guys carry on too long limiting the development time of younger guys then throwing them in too deep end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Me reading that team. I'd maybe have had Barclay for Watson, but that's a borderline call. Try not to get too excited, try not to get too excited... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try not to get too excited, try not to get too excited... As posted above if the pack can match the opposition I'd fancy us in any game with those backs. Our best ever back three in my hyperbolic opinion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individually, they'd probably all be up there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could argue it's the best 10-15 we've ever fielded. Parity in the forwards and some fair refereeing at the scrums n rucks gives us a decent chance even against a very strong Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 This is of course setting itself up beautifully for Ireland to horse us by 30 points 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 It's a decent team. I think we may struggle in the scrum and the breakdown, especially if we get a hard time from the ref. Need the Grays, Wilson and Strauss to be on their game and bring some serious physicality against this Irish pack. Think Dell and Fagurson will struggle, and I'd have probably played Barclay over Watson. Still, we have a chance, and I can't help but get excited! What games are everyone going to this year? I've got Wales at home and England away. Wish I'd bought tickets for Italy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Wales at home and England away. Wish I'd bought tickets for Italy. Was due to be going to the Ireland game but due to my shift getting changed I can't now. Got tickets for the Wales game so hopefully my shifts stay the same.I think there are still tickets for the Italian game left 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice, for once, to get a ridiculously one sided referee acting in Scotland's favour. Genuinely can't remember the last time that happened. The ref for the Georgia game was superb, got almost all the decisions correct and communicated really well with players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
