honestly united Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Im not seeing how binding like that is any sort of advantage, if anything its going to take longer to break from the scrum having to get your arm out first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes basically an extra man holding him up, and is able to apply much more force in behind him. It's a definite advantage, especially if you have no intention of doing anything at scrums beyond milking them for penalties. Really poor if the ref hasn't seen that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Even though we're at home, is there any chance at all of us beating Sarries on Sunday? Spiking Sarries pre-match water with laxitive sounds like our only hope but that would be frowned upon... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I see BT Films are showing a doc about the Irish rugby team, called I think "Shoulder to Shoulder" - as much as I hate their side, it looks interesting with a lot of stuff about Ulster and it seems Brian O'Driscoll ends up interviewing some Orange Order types at a march. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David990 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Glasgow have signed a 3x Premiership and 2x Champions Cup winner til the end of the season to cover the injured Zander and Siua. Don't think anyone was expecting a signing of his calibur, Quote Glasgow Warriors have signed Petrus du Plessis from London Irish on a deal until the end of the season. The experienced tight-head prop played for English Premiership side Saracens 158 times between 2009 and 2017. During that spell he won the Champions Cup twice and the English Premiership three times. After leaving Saracens the South African went on to play 27 games for London Irish. The 37-year-old, who has played 31 Champions Cup matches during an illustrious career, goes straight into the Warriors Heineken Champions Cup squad ahead of Sunday’s opening game against his former side, Saracens at Scotstoun. He arrived in Glasgow yesterday and started training with his new teammates at a training camp in Largs this morning. Speaking to Glasgow Warriors TV, Petrus du Plessis, said: “I’m very happy to be at Glasgow Warriors, this is a great club. “It all happened very quickly - within three days I’m here, so I’m very excited to play in the Heineken Champions Cup and Guinness PRO14 this season. “It’s exciting that my first game could be against my former club Saracens - you couldn’t write the script if you tried! “I’ve heard the matchday experience at Scotstoun is fantastic, the crowd really gets behind the team, they’re vocal and they’re loud. “Glasgow Warriors play a really expansive and physical game, which is great and I’ve only heard good things about the club from former players.” Glasgow Warriors Head Coach, Dave Rennie added: “It’s great that we’ve been able to obtain someone of Petrus’ experience at such short notice. “He has played rugby at the highest level, is a good man and a really solid set piece operator. “With Zander (Fagerson) and Siua (Halanukonuka) injured he brings some much needed depth at tight-head.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Big Brian is away to Toulon. There must be more to this than meets the eye. Glasgow and Scotland are hardly over burdened with talented young locks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddfg Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Big Brian is away to Toulon. There must be more to this than meets the eye. Glasgow and Scotland are hardly over burdened with talented young locks.I have absolutely no evidence to back this up, however talk amongst a group of our fellow season ticket holders on Friday night was that he’d downed tools and was refusing to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 That's a shame because he looked hugely promising. There are a few players in the NFL just now who are refusing to play because they say their contracted wages aren't worth the risk of getting injured. Big Davison was promising on Saturday night but he's a long way from the finished article. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) That Saracens pack is huuuuge. They are obviously going to be looking to test our lineout. This is a huge test for Rae and Fagerson. Edited October 12, 2018 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Jones is on a rich vein of form atm but would rather have Tommy starting with Jones benched. Also, Petrus du Plessis should be starting over D'arcy Rae. du Plessis knows this opponent and is more experienced in Europe with 2 titles. Huw Jones is dangerous in attack but has been more lethal for Scotland tbh until just recently. He's going to have needed to nailed his defence this week as Sarries could cut through us like toffee otherwise. Finally, Fagerson's good but would rather have Ashe starting, wherever he is...

There's a comment on Facebook suggesting he's absent for a family bereavement. No idea if it's true but would make sense given he's not listed as injured. I can only see a big win for Sarries here unfortunately. Edited October 12, 2018 by Jaggy Snake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 We've got the better set of backs, but we are really going to struggle up front unless we can keep the ball moving and away from their pack 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
