peasy23 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Sam Burgess returns to the Rabbitohs bringing his brief union career to an end. Feel a bit of sympathy for him, the whole circus around him was not of his making tbf. Imo if he had been given time to learn to play at centre he could have been a good player for England in the future, but to try and fast track him into the team ahead of the World Cup was shambolic. Trying to fit him into the back row was never going to work, I don't know how anybody could realistically expect him to learn how to contest breakdowns in such a short space of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Burgess. Scapegoat. Sometimes knowing who to blame is the most important thing. Laughable to suggest that his selection was the reason England didn't progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Strongest team of the season so far. Cardiff have been really poor so hopefully a win for Glasgow and a bonus point for good measure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1446816078.366109.jpg Blair for Hart (Pyrgos long term inj) and maybe Favaro or Wilson for Fusaro and that's about as strong as Glasgow can be. I hope they rip Cardiff a new one tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Solid win for the Warriors. It would have been better to have finished better and starved the Blues of a losing bonus point. However they obviously made it very tough for us. The main thing is that we got the win with the bonus point as the cherry on top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/regions-no-excuses-worst-start-10410709 More bitter nonsense from a Welsh journalist. Think he was the same guy who called Glasgow an average side last season. Apparently not many Glasgow players would get near an Ospreys or Cardiff starting XV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who the guy is that wrote that, but it reads like a reasonable article embellished with throwaway controversy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 He also treats Scotland like nobodies. Yes, we were whitewashed in the 6N this year but there has been other positives since Vern Cotter took over. I would also say that in the world cup this year, South Africa beat Wales. It was the ref that allowed Australia to beat us. He also forgets to mention the utter mess that their alleged great rivals England are in. If I were a Welsh rugby journalist I would have a field day writing about England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Stuart Lancaster steps down as England coach.And according to the media and ex players/pundits three of the top 5 choices are the current Wales manager, the current Ireland manager and the current Australia manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see any of them jumping at the England job tbh. Jake White could be worth a punt at 3/1. Certainly a kick in the balls for up and coming English coaches when they say that international experience is a must, Rob Baxter for example has done a great job at Exeter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
