flyingscot Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'm in two minds. The RFU needs to grow a set and get the set-up and club game sorted. Perhaps an outsider like Jones can shake things up a bit more? Be (slightly) immune to politics? His comments about central control in Ireland/Scotland / SH is interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Rumoured to be the highest paid coach in world rugby, did a terrific job with Japan. He certainly did. One wonders how far reaching his remit is. Because he basically oversaw a complete reformation in Japanese rugby, albeit with help from the rather ludicrous residency rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 No sign of Dunbar since that game against Connacht. Strong bench for tomorrow also. Should be a good contest, looking forward to it. Sold out also! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 No sign of Dunbar since that game against Connacht. Was wondering about that myself. Is he injured again? Possibly they are trying to manage his time to try and get him fully ready for the 6n. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 He's on the injured list on the website where they list today's squad. Sternum injury it says on there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_for_life Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Northampton haven't had the best of starts this season so hopefully Glasgow can take advantage and get their European campaign off to flier 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 2 horror mistakes by Hogg so far, and some pretty tough refereeing calls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Huddersfield Giants forward Brett Ferres has been suspended by his club for being caught shagging his team mate Craig Huby's wife. Apparenlty Ferres' wife was suspicious and came home early to catch them on camera. Ferres' Giants teammates have refused to play with him again. Ferres was best man at Huby's wedding a few months ago. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Eddie Jones for England, then. Based on Japan actually winning a game? I feel a little sorry for England. Rugby is so popular here but they keep fucking it up at international level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Turns out it was a heart attack that he died from.The All Backs team Dr thinks it was a blood clot in his lung that killed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The All Backs team Dr thinks it was a blood clot in his lung that killed him. A good read, if perhaps a little insensitive in the timing. http://m.independent.ie/sport/rugby/neil-francis-on-jonah-lomu-a-life-lost-needlessly-34222682.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was diagnosed with his condition on 1996 the same year as the Blues were formed so even if they were given him the stuff they must of been pumping him and the rest of the team with high dosages to cause that much damages so soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Pretty uninspiring from Glasgow tonight. Scraped past Treviso in a poor game. Finn Russell is bang out of form, along with many of the WC team. Tiredness or whatever it isn't good. The tempo changed when Weir came on along with Ali Price and Strauss. Such a shame Murchie is injured, need him badly to give Hogg a rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
