honestly united Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 To be fair to the SRU, having a 3G pitch is probably the best option, it should minimize the possibility of games being off due to bad weather, waterlogged pitches etc as postponed games have a huge impact financially and calendar wise, and also having a fast pitch suits the way Scotland, and Glasgow want to play, There's nothing worse than having a cracking set of backs that never get the ball as you are playing in a bog. I haven't seen any complaints about Murrayfield, but there does seem to be an issue with Scotstoun. May be a case that they need to lay a new pitch at some point soon, or get some in to look at it. Granted the Glasgow players never seem to have an issue with burns etc, only the opposition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put down a mix of artificial and real grass a couple of years ago, and the problem seemed to be solved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 On a more positive note there's only a month until Wales vs Scotland. Only players based in Wales and Scotland will be available so quite a few players who have appeared in the last 12 months will be unavailable. Wales - Tomos Francis, Luke Charteris, Rhyss Webb, Dan Biggar, Josh Adams and Liam Williams. Scotland - Gordon Reid, Jon Welsh, David Denton, Greig Laidlaw, Sam Hidalgo Clyne, Finn Russell, James Lang, Chris Harris, Byron McGuigan and Sean Maitland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 So we are going with 5 forwards and 2 backs on the bench, granted Horne and Matawalu can cover all the backs positions it could leave us short, I have been less than impressed by the bench selections so far this season, from 2 scrum halfs one week, to 2 Hookers, to now only 2 backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David990 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Rory Hughes would move to FB and Nico to the wing I think if Jacko goes man down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The issue is if you have three injuries in the backs. I've been thinking for a while that Matt Fagerson might be able to switch to centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Jacobsen Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I think this is the first time that I've seen Edinburgh this season. Based on the first 10 mins, they look really good (apart from the silly mistake they made in the first couple of minutes). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Edinburgh dominating the lineouts. Apart from the first Cheetahs lineout when Toolis gave away a cheap penalty. Edited October 5, 2018 by Allan Jacobsen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Zebre should just knock the ball forward on purpose as they're winning penalties at pretty much every scrum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
