The Russia game will be a 2nd XV so I don't think the turn around will have much bearing on the Japan game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we've got lucky with that, Russia shouldn't even be there. With Japan, they are clearly a good side, and will be well up for it, but to be honest, that try doesn't really give me the fear. If you'd showed me them shitfesting up the pitch through a series of lineout mauls before eventually scoring a penalty try after a series of 5 meter scrums I'd be far more worried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Ooft, just heard we now have Ayrshire bulls and boroughmuir bears in the super six along with the Southern Knights, disappointed by that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 That's a very decent team, and not particularly close to our first choice. Amazing how much depth we have now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Big game for Bhatti, Toolis, Ritchie, Strauss, McGuigan and probably Jones and Taylor as well. I reckon those guys all play in positions where some big names are going to be left at home. Suppose for Jones and Taylor the question marks are all around form and fitness, but the other guys could still miss out even at top form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Bhatti is a cert to go surely? I also think Toolis is unlikely to be displaced by Cummings. It'll be great to see Duncan Taylor back and exciting to see Hutchinson make his debut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but there is still a question mark over his scrummaging for me, though I suppose he's a better all round player than Reid and he finished the season very well. I think Cummimgs might be closer than you think. Again, he finished the season very strongly and is developing into as decent carrier as well, which we don't really have at second row. Also,for me, Toolis has never really been particularly impressive for Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taken a step down to semi-pro rugby after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Glasgow's Mesulame Dolokoto, Nikola Matawalu and Edinburgh's Viliame Mata. Have been called up to the Fiji team for the RWC Also apart from the Scottish players Glasgow will probably be without(either in training squad or Pacific Nations Cup aquad) David Tameilau (USA), Siua Halanukonuka (Tonga) and DTH(Canada). It looks like Edinburgh will only lose their Scottish players and Mata. Edited August 16, 2019 by ajwffc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
