peasy23 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 England have picked Tuilagi to play on the wing against the Aussies. Smacks of Eddie doing everything he can to shoehorn Farrell into the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Watson on the bench is probably as much to combat the boost SA get when they bring the bench on. Team should get a lift with Watson coming on, so hopefully we are in the game by then. SA always finish strong so we need to be in a good position at half time / 60 mins. I get kinghorn being a FB him being on the bench should make sense, but as he is pitiful it doesnt. Seems a waste of a bnech slot. Steyn must be gutted, he has done all the media, with his dad being one of Mandela's bodygaurds, parents over for the match and doesnt make the bench. I would rather have him than Kinghorn as Hasting would cover 10/12/15 and Steyn 13/wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Johnson is a good attacking threat but lacks the bulk of Harris. However, Matt Scott hasn't played for Scotland for a long while, throwing him back in against SA is a brave decision from Toony. I'm surprised Watson's on the bench. Toony has said that it's to give him rest but we need to physicality for the breakdown. I'd then rest him against Japan. Unless he's injured Kyle Steyn not in the squad is a surprise. He's strong and fast. Rufus McLean is a flying machine but I don't know if he has Steyn's bulk. We need to get them moving. It's our pace that will win us the game. If we try and arm wrestle them we'll be playing them at their own game which will give us nothing... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Also, I hear in summer next year Scotland are doing a 3 test tour of Argentina. If this is the case, could we see a series win? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 South Africa dropped the last scrum yet he's still having a go at us. Think the ref has made his mind up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
