There is no point in playing Weir as he won't do anything he has failed to do in the previous two fixtures. Might as well see what Jaco can do before Finn hopefully takes the shirt back for 6N.

The back row is a strange one. Fagerson was awful against France yet keeps his place. His carries were depressing, like a boy against men. If Ireland start Doris and Stander we will be struggling. I'd have Skinner at 6.

Agree, though at least Fagerson has a bit of potential, seen nothing in Thomson to suggest he's ever going to be up to it. Seems like a bit of an experimental team to be honest. Guess Townsend really likes Taylor and wants to give him a chance, probably in the hope he can recover his old form and bring some guile and creativity to the centres. Blair Cowan getting his reward for turning up from the bench.

Although Fagerson isn't the biggest 8, he does at least get over the gain line 9 times out of 10 unlike some others. I think he would be better suited at 6, but we dont have a better option at 8 - infact seemingly Fagerson was the top carrier against France

Team for Saturday, van der Walt starts, Blair Cowan returns from Siberia for a place on the bench. Weir missing, is he injured? Bit strange otherwise to go from starting to being out the squad completely given how thin we are at 10 at the moment. 20201203_125406.jpg

Always thought Hamish Watson is a huge miss when he’s not playing.   I do like the look of the bench, though. Quite a bit of bulk to reinforce the pack, and a lot of flair in the backs.

Ritchie snatching at 2 turnovers he was never going to win, c'mon man

Just about to say the same thing. Seems over eager to get in there, maybe because Watson is missing. Already feels like it could be a long afternoon.
