Looked great when he first arrived on these shores but never maintained that level. He's from a town with a population of 405 in New Zealand. The temptations of the big city were obviously too much for him. A great player to watch but his style of play is outdated now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 On 08/06/2021 at 10:04, Detournement said: If we see anyone else other than Ritchie or Watson wearing 7 for Scotland in this World Cup cycle it should be Darge, Gordon or Boyle if he breaks through. I was looking at the Edinburgh squad for next season and wondering if Immelman will play full back and Kinghorn wing. He is behind Hogg and Hastings for 15 so would probably be better focusing on the wing (which is probably his strongest position anyway). Aye I mean Gordon and Darge emerging have been one of the real positives for Glasgow this year and I'd really much rather them and Bayliss/Crosbie getting a chance. But of the experienced reserves I'd much rather Cowan than any of the others 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they expected/wanted Trevisio to not get awarded any points. So on the Irish sides could take their rightful place at the top as they are the only ones that could beat the South African sides 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Can't help but feel slightly sad at the way Leone's career has gone. Glasgow got the best out of him in that spell under Townsend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see as he was a fantastic player while at Glasgow - you wonder if its injuries taking their toll, or the player just not putting in the effort to get fit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Released fijians Nakarawa, Dolokoto and Sau all in the Fijian squad to play NZ - didnt see Mata in the squad though. Makes the whole move falling through at Ulster seem more like they didnt like what they saw at Glasgow the last few months rather than any serious injury concern 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant be bothered with the brain numbing hyperbole the jist of it is that the Pro16 is now the United Rugby Championship, its split into 4 pools of 4 teams. You play everyone in your pool home and away, then each other team either home or away, so 6 pool matches and 12 interpool. There will be one total league table with top 8 ranked teams into quarter finals for the title (1st plays 8th, 2nd vs 7th etc) However for European qualification the top team in each pool qualifies first, then the next 4 top teams in the combined table get the last 4. SA teams to play in Europe from 22/23 (still to be ratified) Glasgow / Embra in pool with the 2 Italian teams - so one should top the pool each year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The details of the new "United Rugby Championship"(pro 16) have been released. I actually think it looks pretty good. Play everyone once, top 8 into the playoffs. Euro qualification based partly on country and partly on league position (Scotland and Italy in the same "country pool"). Best part is it looks like it will not conflict with international windows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
