Fucking hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could shuffle the fixtures now and just have back to back SA v SA games and with the European games and 6 nations there could be no travel to SA until March without impacting the competition. But agreed though SA would have been better re-vamping the currie cup and making it a full southern africa cup with say 1- teams from SA and a team from Namibia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Botswana, Uganda, Madagascar etc but then they probably wouldnt have got the same TV money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Can't remember seeing a team being as completely neutered by a rule change as Exeter have by banning pre binding at rucks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) On paper this Glasgow team should be doing better. We made a good start to the season but today we look like the team who couldn't get a winning BP at Zebre. Benneton haven't looked great but we've given them 2 soft tries. George Horne's box kicking has been awful but our forward pack's looked good with those 2 tries. We're leading at HT but I'm just not inspired with confidence...

Its not been great but at least we are in the lead. Im not sure what the issue is, but as you say Hornes kicking has been poor, and i think some of his passing hasn't been great either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The art of implosion in the last two minutes. On their line, then 3 stupid penalties and Treviso have a kick to win it. Fucking hell lads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 This Glasgow team would've cigared this game under Toony or Rennie. Even if we win I'm really starting to wonder if Danny Wilson is really taking us forward. Discipline is awful. Better than last season but still poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
