Teams are limited to a 31 man training squad so Bradbury can't train with the rest of the players which is quite shite for him and surely he won't be hanging around for weeks waiting for someone to get injured. I've no idea whether or not he can stay at the team hotel or not but I quite like the idea of big Magnus essentially starring in his Lost In Translation remake hanging out in a hotel in Tokyo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I may be wrong, but I'm sure in the past, any travelling reserves have been provided training facilities in a single camp by World Rugby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Shamelessly stolen from the Tier 2 rugby forum, since the last world cup SCotland have a better than 50% record vs other T1 countries, and have actually played more Tier 2 countries than anyone else. Think thats a big improvement on the previous periods where we couldn't buy a win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The SRU have (rightly) taken a lot of stick for lots of things over the years, but we have always consistently offered fixtures, and cap internationals, to Tier 2 nations. It's absolutely something we should be pointing out every time Tier 1 Nations as a whole are accused of failing to grow the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before that. Back in the 80s and 90 we would head off on tour to Japan, the Pacific Islands, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 France played a lot more Tier 2's up to pro era - as the played the Euro Cup every season, and there was a time that NZ wouldn't play 3 test tours against Scotland so we would only get 1 or 2 games against them and we filled in with Japan / Fiji to make up the trip. But also we have been to US / Canada, Argentina and Pacific a lot more than other countries. However I think the last 4 years we have had a good balance to our tests I did think it was dreadful that New Zealand have played Italy 14 times, yet have played Fiji / Tonga / Samoa combined only 18 and there near neighbours 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Huw Jones was on good form in the bits I saw. Over the two games the Glasgow defence was terrible. They will need to be better in South Africa on Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it ended 36-33 ish to Glasgow. Very Glasgow performance in that as soon as we got the ball we scored, then Ulster would get possession and take and age scoring inching down the park. Some good performancies but its hard to read anything into these games as both sides used over 30 players (we used 3 9's during the game) and it was more about getting the new players (and there has been a lot over the 2 games) used to the style of play. Not a bad performance given that a lot of these guys wont have played at pro level before given they are academy players or just come over from the club game. I expect a big difference over in South Africa where I expect it will be the strongest team we can put out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) I have a pair of Eels shorts and pretty much everyone who notices them comments about the Eels part. Edited September 15, 2019 by afca32 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
