GAD Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I feel like South Africa have basically only picked the 7/1 bench split for the Ireland game to wind up Matt Williams. Which is fair enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Interesting decision earlier when Uruguay were awarded a drop out when the ball hit an Italian sub in-goal, and it affected the play. For as long as I can remember, an extra player on the field touching the ball was a penalty, even if it was accidental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Uruguay have kicked themselves out of the game, the blocked kick leading to a try and then a few other kicks straight to Italy players that have been returned with interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 And that should be the end of that with Italy 35-17 ahead having scored 28 unanswered points since Uruguay got their yellow card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Most teams who win the World Cup have a bad game at some point. Looks like France got theirs out of the way last time round 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially won't see Dupont again for a while if he fails the HIA Leaving Dupont on against a tired, cloggy and very poor and very, very beaten team at that point was unnecessary and stupid. Actually, tbf, I just checked and it was earlier in the half than I remembered. Still, whilst I understand France wanting to make a statement after the bitty performance against Uruguay, surely after what happened with N'tamack they protect the one other player they can't afford to lose at this stage.

GAD Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Scotland team for Sunday. Looks ok to me. Can understand why he's gone for Steyn and Harris as more solid options to start the game, Tonga have a lot of quality in the centers and back 3. Wee bit surprised to see Sutherland straight into the starting lineup, but he's a good player so hopefully will show it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee bit surprised to see Sutherland straight into the starting lineup, but he's a good player so hopefully will show it. Yeah after thinking on it for a bit seems that it's a combination of good rotation choices (Sutherland needs game time if he's going to be on the bench v Ireland, imo you don't lose much leaving Gilchrist out and we need to find a functional lock partnership) and specifics for Tonga. I can't see their team line yet but assuming they'll have a 12,13,15 of Akhi, Fekitoa and Piutau having the best defensive centre you have at 13 seems a good choice. I'm seeing a nervy first half where we're 3-5 points up and then a bonus point win at full time. On a wider note, I've only seen a disappointing number of games due to work and other commitments, what have been some of the highlights so far if I was to pick a game to go back and watch in one of the gaps this weekend? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
