come on shire Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 The English players in the Premiership had better watch their discipline with all those red cards. Wales are specialists against 14 men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Billy Burns has passed on the torch of embarrassment. Only saw it once earlier, but it does look a little harsh to say he had started his run up. Tbf, if it stops all the pissing about by kickers hitting penalties or conversions then I'm all for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I'm not keen on the kickers who deliberately let the clock drag down to 80:01 (step forward Greg Laidlaw), but that seems incredibly harsh. English referees, eh ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 See we've named a new squad, with Josh Bayliss from Bath the latest randomer to find he has a Scottish granny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Gary Graham seems to be out. Wonder if he's carrying the can for last week's disaster. He didn't play well to be fair. No sign of Hutcheson or Skinner. Obviously in the bad books for something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The Jaguares Super Rugby side want to join the Pro14/16/100/Whatever next season. They'll be based in Bilbao. Wouldn't be surprised if they share with Athletic Bilbao. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the bad old days of braindead forwards giving away ridiculous penalties and costing us territory and points. Thank God he's been booted (injured apparently). We're not a team that is good enough to be able to compensate for poor discipline. If players aren't intelligent enough to play controlled rugby, they can hand their jersey to someone who is.

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Redpath still out for France. Johnson or Taylor to play 12 for me. Neither is a perfect replacement for Redpath's style but Lang is mince. Hopefully Ritchie is back, I don't fancy any of the others to play 6 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hadn't let Wales score before half time then IMO Scotland go on to win comfortably, instead they gained about 70 metres through a few consecutive Scotland penalties and get a try back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't play well to be fair. No sign of Hutcheson or Skinner. Obviously in the bad books for something. He gave away 4 penalties which is an absolute disaster. He put needless pressure on us. He'd fit into the Kelly Brown, Al Strockosch and John Bettie mould during the Andy Robinson and early Vern Cotter days. In other news Rob Harley is in. A great club stalwart but I wouldn't have him in a Scotland squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 More covid positive French tests, they will move this thus giving Ireland an extra week before Murryfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Aye, hopefully that's all of them as I can't see it not being delayed if more players test positive. Facing a France team without Dulin, Dupont, Haouas, Ollivon, Vincent, Villiere and Marchand would be a huge boost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things start to go in our favour they tend to mess it up. When the Welsh team were losing players to injury it made me less confident rather than more, we would have probably beaten a full strength Wales team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
