Genuine Hibs Fan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 They're still old and in decline but this is starting to look like a very Warren Gatland Wales team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a yellow to France there as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather France won and Ireland lost tbh Peter Wright talking about things going "tits up" on Radio Scotland was quite funny. Really need to have Finn and Ritchie Gray fit and in form before the World Cup but even then I can't see us beating the Saffers or Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Never in doubt, eh lads? That all felt a bit Andy Murray, with the game won by half time, so we decided to provide some entertainment before finishing the job in style. Thought Italy were very harshly done by at the scrum, a lot of 50-50s that went to the big team. Blair Kinghorn is an excellent open field and broken field runner. He's a fucking shite stand off, and that selection should never happen again. Thought the forward subs actually killed our momentum - Matt Fagerson became the family penalty machine for the day. Ali Price was decent when he came on, and thought Healy looked tidy without getting the chance to show much, as by the point he came on, the forwards had decided they couldn't be arsed hitting rucks. Positives - another BP win, and we showed this team does have a bit of steel about them, as in the past, we'd have shat that defensive set on our line. Negatives - No creativity at 10, f**k all from the forwards in the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my slightly contrarian thought on Kinghorn at the moment. he's not actually a great FB either, has some issues in that position as well. He's an excellent athlete and natural rugby player, but he's just not very rugby smart imo, so him starting anywhere you're going to see big issues in his game. I still think wing is where he's played his best rugby for Scotland, but FB over FH every time. If he was more coachable you'd even say 12 could be his best position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd get eaten alive defensively in the 12 channel. I'd agree on wing probably being his best position. His main issue (apart from his tackling) is that he's about 3rd or 4th best in about 4 different positions. He's an excellent bench option, but I don't think he should start in any of the positions he can cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slightly delirious with the flu but I was thinking there he's the type of guy who Ireland and France maybe look at when they're 18/19 and go - that young FH/FB who's generally skillful, big, strong, very fast and hard to stop - well he's a back row now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I really enjoy the fact that Ntamack's dad was an absolute beast of a centre/winger, and Penaud's dad was an elegant, ball playing 10, while their sons are the other way round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
