GAD Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The tournament is a complete farce. Toulon refusing to play Scarlets last night because they didn't believe they weren't riddled with the Covid shows the faith the clubs have in it as well. They probably think they might as well take the 28-0 now and keep their players healthy, than get fucked over next week when the inevitable positive tests come in anyway and lose players for 2 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusTheBull Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Very surprising Tom Wood’s clearout on van der Flier wasn’t even a penalty given the current environment regarding head knocks. Clear shoulder to head with force, thought it was a fairly obvious red card. Leinster comfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just turned on the Clermont v Munster game. This ref is so pathetically weak. He's clearly scared of the Irish players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Poite absolutely bottled that red card there. In the week concussion has been the big story that is not a good look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Huw Jones leaving as well. No real point in him staying tbh seeing as he's on a decent wage and we prefer to either play him out of position, or not at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Beginning of the end of Scottish rugby here.

ajwffc Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) From what i can find both Scottish side could lose some big names Glasgow players out of contract in the summer - Adam Hastings(already announced new side) Huw Jones(in talks?), Leone Nakarawa, Scott Cummings(signed a new contract), Jamie Dobie and Sam Johnson Edinburgh players out of contract in the summer - Jamie Bhatti(left) Duhan van der Merwe, Darcy Graham, Blair Kinghorn, Jamie Ritchie, Hamish Watson and Viliame Mata there is a list of the 15 highest played players in the World (at the start of the year) there are no Scottish based players on the list but Both Hogg 10th in the world (£550,000 reportedly £200,000 more than Glasgow Was paying him) and Russell 13th (£535,000 reported to be double what Glasgow payed him) are on it. Pro 14 - 1 player Top 14 - 4 players Super Rugby - 2 players Premiership - 8 players Edited December 29, 2020 by ajwffc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The SRU have always been very clear that they wont be breaking the bank to keep players. The did dig deep to keep Hogg and Grey first time round but were never going to be able to compete 2nd time round. There plan has always been to nurture the young players, then let them leave mid to late 20's so they can get their big pay day in France or England, then welcome them back at the end of their careers. You get the impression its all about the national team, and filling Murrayfield, competitive pro teams seem to be a nice to have but not essential - why else would they both be looking to play in sub 10,000 stadia if they thought they would be successfull? Scotstoun was too small for Glasgow (probably not now though) and mini Murrayfield is smaller i think - 6k? Hardly screams of ambition, both should have been looking at 15-20k stadia big enough to never fill, but wouldn't be horrendously empty looking with a small crowd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
