honestly united Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Huge amounts of panic this morning with reports of the wales game being postponed to 31st Oct along with the France Ireland, but thankfully its still going ahead as planned. Not that it would have stopped my trip to Cardiff, but the welsh fans are usually a decent bunch and although the game itself is usually a dissapointment going to the stadium keeps you out hte pub for a bit! I agree on Haining, I was skeptical when first selected but thought he was very god against Ireland and put in a better shift against France. He's the kind of hard running ball carrier we have been crying out for for years - I cant rememeber the last proper 8 we had - Strauss flattered to deceive, before that you have to go back to Jason White and he was more of a blindside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Haining has been excellent since he joined Edinburgh. It's odd that he was surplus to requirements at Bristol. Edinburgh now have the 4 Scotland match day back rows plus the next man up in Crosbie plus the two best prospects in Darge and Boyle. And Carmichael who can play 6. And Mata who may be moved on to free up some wages. All the football will be on this weekend so there's no justification for cancelling Scotland versus Wales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Ideally Scotland get a bonus point win against Wales and the postponed fixtures are declared as draws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 They may as well postpone it. The other games are postponed anyway, why put 70,000 people at unnecessary risk? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It will be game on but if someone in Scottish squad or Welsh squad get a cold, they will all have to self isolate. Depends on players now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Oh well it's an afternoon in the pub rather than the principality stadium, probably more chance of picking up Corona in the pub than the stadium 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 They wait all week until Friday afternoon....when thousands have already travelled.....and then postpone the game. That redefines that phrase 'utter fucking stupidity'. It should have been done at the beginning of the week. Disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff is heaving already, pub I'm in us rammed, probably more chance of catching something in here than at the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
