John Lambies Doos Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Ian McGeechan, writing in the Telegraph sees Harris, Sutherland and Watson as the likely Scots in the first test, with Russell and VDM possibles. Thinks Williams is nailed on for full back.Hogg will start unless injured or covid. Williams wasn't great other day, dropped a high ball and far too slow in defence.Russell in injury trouble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I would think Hogg is in the definite starter category, Im still not convinced Watson is, as I can see Gatland going with Beirne at blind side and either Curry or Navidi at open side. Sutherland is in the probable starter range, as is VDM but with Adams, Watson and probably Williams as competition for starting and bench its going to be tough. Harris is in with a shout, as has put in some decent performances but and not seen much of the other centres as of yet. Fagerson I think is at best going to get a spot on the bench. Price might have a better chance as it sounds as if AWJ may be flying out to join up with the squad. If he does return and get into the 15 then that means Gatland can drop Murray. Russell I would have nailed on as on the bench atr a minimum, but the injury might rule him out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it was just because they were losing the break down but there were a lot of complaints about France using hands as the first man in. The scrum penalty at the end was superb. They completely destroyed Australia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Club rugby isn't far away from returning - Super Six starts in two weeks and the Premiership and other leagues will start as normal in August for those interested. We play Stirling in a friendly on Saturday, going to be in some world of pain come Sunday morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it was just because they were losing the break down but there were a lot of complaints about France using hands as the first man in. I only saw 8 minutes of highlights and that was enough to see that both sides were getting away with hands in the ruck. By far the worst in those highlights was Michael Hooper, who came right over the top to put a big paw on the ball, clearly delayed the recycle and all he got was "hands away now yellow." The lack of strict enforcement of stuff that matters at the ruck really pisses me off, it slows down the entire game and it advantages dullard teams over quick, attacking sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
