Mark Connolly Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'd have Barclay, Wilson and Watson. They are physical enough to handle Moriarty, and quick enough to sort out Navidi and Shingler. Du Preez and Hamilton would also be good options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 the only thing (apart from the front row) is the increasing mention in articles of Laidlaw being ready to start/the best choice at scrum half from ex players and Mike Blair 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Decent team. Happy with that. Run at them from the start.. they won't cope 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Quite a few surprises in there I think. I guess we must have more injuries than expected if Dunbar, Bennett and Taylor all miss out altogether. Starting front row has plenty of experience so hopefully not as poor in the set piece as feared. Replacements look very weak though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Im suprised at moving Jones to inside centre, rather than playing Taylor there. Maybe the thinking is that Parkes at 12 is a weak link for Wales? And Harris coming in as well infront of Bennett and Taylor. Has he maybe not gone Horne at 12 and Jones at 13 so he has Horne on the bench to cover 10 if required? Forwards are about where I thought it would be, except I thought Bhatti would start, although coming of the bench he may have more impact about the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Jones was outstanding at 12 for the Stormers in both Super Rugby and the Currie Cup, so no issues with him being there. Wales team was named yesterday, and it's full of overrated shite, although there are still some very good, and dangerous, players in there -http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/42870500 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 This is really tough to call. I think we have the better 15 especially in the backs. The key I think is who has the better bench. Wales are at home (I'm going to the match can' wait) and home advantage counts for a lot. I would go for a narrow Scotland win but this is a tight fixture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I believe Bennett and Taylor are both injured. I thought they had both just come back from injury, Bennett played for Embra a couple of weeks ago, and thought Taylor played in Sarries last euro game?Also cant wait for the game, will be in Cardiff tomorrow taking in the Blues Vs London IrishSent from my Redmi 4X using Pie and Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
