Gatland is a clown It might depend on Farrell's injury to be fair. Russell is the only one he's picked who actually should have been there in the first place. He's almost deliberately avoided picking anyone else who could conceivably trouble the first team, picking some Welsh plodder instead of Gray for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 What makes today even more impressive is the players missing from today's team. Hogg, Seymour, Bennett, Maitland, Richie Gray, Huw Jones all could have been starters had they been available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 The Lions beat the Maori who were absolutely howling in the 2nd half. You'll need to give Barnes and Greenwood time to climax before the Scotland highlights start though. Absolutely outstanding defence today. We've just won, in theory at least, the toughest game of the tour. First win in Sydney to boot. I reckon the Scots that go to the Lions, if at all, would be rested for the Fiji game anyways. However, I'm hoping we'd have the strength in depth to go to Suva and win. However, we'll be up against their home crowd and tropical climate. They are weak at 15's as 7's is their baby, but Italy lost this morning in Suva so need to be respected. For now delighted though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was outstanding. Difference from previous games when weve lost narrowly is that the self belief is there. Toony does a great job of getting into players heads. 4th in the world does seem a wee bit anomalous but theres no doubt we are on an upward curve. Lots of people on Facebook crediting vern but its toony thats developed the core of the team and vern couldn't find wins agajnst the really big nations. If anyone should be sharing credit with toony its lineen who stabilised Glasgow and put a lot of the development systems into place. With a lot of young guys coming through from u20 this is the most optimistic ive been about Scottish rugby since the early 90s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Watching Folau's second try again and it could be an Aussie Rules football mark. Really impressive stuff, then I remembered he used to be an Aussie Rules football player. Looks like he's taken the skill into rugby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect that from the fourth choice full back though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside thought tonks put in a decent shift. The last time we had a really good team was late 80s/early 90s but if you took more than 2 or 3 guys out if our xv we would have been struggling. Now we seem to have genuine competition for every position. As someone said to beat a side of Australia's calibre with so many lads missing is amazing really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 It's easy to get caught up in hyperbole and such but it's really refreshing to be so upbeat about an aspect of Scottish sport. Regardless of the Fiji result to come this has been a positive tour, people are seeing what Townsend is about (if they hadn't already at Glasgow) quick ball, fast paced attacking rugby. Good times to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
