ddfg Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Scarletts to beat Munster in the final with a controversial last minute TMO decision deciding the match, Barclay winning mom and a total Irish meltdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 3 hours ago, Doonhamer doon south said: In theory a pro 12 b would be a good thing although I would probably go for two leagues of 10 personally. Promotion relegation playoff between them. But realistically I can't see it. With the pro 12 now I personally think bringing the exiles in for the Italians would be a better all round option for boosting the league. The other option I think the SRU should maybe take advantage of is the looming collapse of the italians. Should Italy lose both teams and an American franchise comes in I think the SRU should revive a third pro team. Just to get it in the league. I would expect them to be under strength and finish near the bottom for the first few seasons but I think Scottish rugby is generally on the up. Maybe it's time. I think the issue of a Pro12 b would be that it would not get the media coverage required and the sponsorship / tv deals / finance wouldn't be their to support it. The main purpose of it being to get the Georgians, Spanish & Germans up to tier 1 level, and to give development time to younger players it probabaly wouldn't work with some decent money behind it. There has always been talk of bring in the exiles but would they want to be part of the Pro12? On the scottish pro league i beleive it was jst the case of giving the 8 best teams (although with stadia criteria) a set amount of money each year to pay players, and also dish out the institute of sport / surplus Glasgow & edinburgh teams to a smaller number of teams, hence building the quality. I believe the money available though has been spent on giving the 2 teams bigger budgets, which would have to be cut significantly to fund either a 3rd pro team or a pro league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Because apparently there is no football on Tv today (first Saturday I've had off that I've not been out this year and apparently there's no football) I'm watching the English rugby semi-finals. Who should I support? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 What channels you got? Bradford Millwall is on Sky at 3.Anyway. Anyone but scummy franchise club Wasps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Two wins from two for Scotland in the Sevens. It's weird watching a sport expecting Scotland to win... even weirder when they regularly live up to those expectations! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Just BT Sport these days. Working weekends was enough for me to cancel sky but thought there would be something on. Some German football but don't really care about that. Might put on the Roma match this evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Carrying on the good form from the 7s in Paris. They play the final group game against the French just after 4 I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I know the uk has that no love football at 3pm rule but seems like a terrible shame neither of the two relegation candidates are on Tv. Two huge football games in the top flight this weekend but the televised match is a dead rubber. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I don't know if that rule still applies this late in the season, as I said Millwall Bradford is on. It's possible BT just don't care about Scottish football outside of Glasgow and the odd derby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Two wins from two for Scotland in the Sevens. It's weird watching a sport expecting Scotland to win... even weirder when they regularly live up to those expectations! Wasn't always that way but Mccrae has done a fine job in last two seasons as coach. Interesting to see what he does as embra defensive coach. Certainly plenty of room for improvement there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Just when we expect Scotland to win games they have produced a complete shocker against France..and get beat.I think they may still sneak through in 2nd spot tho, but means a much harder QF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
