Yeah, but its the Frank Murphy lottery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Nick Grigg deserves a huge amount of credit. You almost never see Jonathan Davies have next to no influence on a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Scotland 40 man squad is out. Couple of residential qualifications. Blair Cowan back from the wilderness. No Rory Hutchison, which is an odd one. And of course, Russell is back, to which I think we can all agree is celebratory news. https://twitter.com/scotlandteam/status/1315631160060448769?s=21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird one if he isn't, Townsend's "be solid and give it to Finn or Hogg" approach wasn't working in attack for me and Hutchison as a second playmaker, with either Harris or Johnson alongside him depending on opposition, seemed a good fix for this. Interestingly while the overall quality of the squad looks better and better, with a couple of players probably good enough at this level for each position, our choices in the centre are a lot less inspiring than they felt a few years ago. Harris is pretty good, Johnson is class, Jones might have some form back. But Grigg and Lang? Not for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume there’s an injury or another reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume there’s an injury or another reason. He's listed as injured along with Duncan Taylor, Kyle Steyn, Byron Mcguigan and a couple of other on the usual "would have been called up if fit" list on the website. Matt Scott is not though, and neither is Bradbury. Edited October 12, 2020 by GAD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Bradbury and Hutchinson are the 2 from previous squads missing, im assuming injured? (just read the above - Bradbury is a strange one then) Had also thought we might have seen Schoeman and Van der Valt getting the nod as Im sure both are now residency qualified. Thompson in the squad also, apparantly he played against Glasgow on Sunday but dont remember him doing anything! Centre is a strange one as you have Bennett, Dean, Taylor, Johnston and McDowall all probably in contention also, but I think Johnson inside and either Jones or Hutchinson outside is the best pairing. Cowan is odd as you would think he is not getting any younger and if he is just filling the squad surely one of the young guys at Glasgow or Edinburgh would get more out of making up the numbers than Cowan Edited October 12, 2020 by honestly united 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 some of the players missing might be to help the two Scottish sides. As some of the articles i have seen mention that the players will not be released to play for Glasgow or Edinburgh during the tournament like they would normally do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Bledisloe Cup game 2 tomorrow with another 4am Sunday morning kick-off in UK. The Wallabies haven’t won at Eden Park since 1986 losing 19 times since then. Rieko Ioane is doubtful for this game and if the silly bugger had kept his hand on the ball when he thought he’d scored a try on half time last week then I’m sure the All Blacks would have won. Hard to see them not winning this time but that’s what I thought last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Exeter doing what they do to get an early try, mauling their way over from close range. It's not pretty, but it's effective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I thought Jonny Gray would have been cup tied. I think a colour blind person would be struggling with the two shirts today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
