come on shire Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Good team for the Lions away game on Saturday considering it's a 6 Nations weekend. Great to see Rory Darge make his comeback from a lengthy injury. Eli Caven at 11 has made the step up from the Ayrshire Bulls I think. All the best to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit tough on Crosbie but I guess he wants that jackal threat from Watson. I'm glad he stuck with the centers that have played so far. It would have been understandable if he'd decided he needed Harris in there this week, but I think he's made the right call. Eta- actually just noticed he's gone for a 6-2 and dropped Horne out the squad as well. Actually thought Price played really well the other night against Ulster. 2 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Aye, in his interview he mentioned Price playing well for Glasgow and being a threat of the bench so that seems fair enough. Also mentioned France have tended to go for a 6/2 split so there's an element of matching up and talks about the versatility of some of the squad who can maybe play multiple positions in the backs. No idea who'd play centre if one got injured mind you. Not a fan of the 6-2 split especially when one of the two backs is a pure scrum half in Price and then it's just Kinghorn to cover fly-half, both midfield slots and the entire back line. You're two injuries away from a complete disaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they bother scheduling league matches on six nations weekends? Surely it hands a huge advantage to the South African sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always one of the things that annoys me about the gubbing we got at Twickenham in 2017 that the fact Ally Price and Duncan Weir ended up playing wing and fullback for most of the game gets ignored. I expect he thinks Fagerson and Dempsey can fill in on the wings if need be as well. Steyn and Russell have played centre as well, Steyn has played in the center a lot actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He signed from London Irish I think but got a bad muscle injury in pre season. 3 hours ago, Donathan said: Why do they bother scheduling league matches on six nations weekends? Surely it hands a huge advantage to the South African sides. This is from earlier in the season. The original game was postponed due to a stomach bug in the squad. It affected Ulster too. That's why they're at the Sharks tomorrow. Edited February 24, 2023 by come on shire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it’s Ireland reserves, but yeah, if Ringrose isn’t fit, the centres look pedestrian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
