ddfg Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I wasn't going to go but decided on Monday to go although I agree that it should have been part of the season ticket package. Was looking forward to seeing Kanatale but he went off injured after 5 min which gave George Horne a good run out, can't remember his first name but Zander Fagerson's brother had a good game albeit it was hard to say as they weren't playing top class opposition. Got the interest going again ahead of the season starting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Nice to see that George Horne is progressing. Thought he was superb for Scotland u20 season before last 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Anyone play the Pro12 fantasy rugby game. http://fantasy.pro12rugby.com/ I've selected a team. Probably could do a P&B league if there was interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Only slightly flippant question: Does it not sting like f**k when they dive over for tries? If it's been done properly it shouldn't. I played on the old dunfermline astro pitch n it was awful but the one at forth bank is absolutely fine. Think they just need to have enough of the rubber crumb. Almost every rugby team that has 4G the players seem to love it yet footballers tend not to. Would think it would be the other way round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 To answer an earlier query, Zander's brother is Matt who's also a forward. Nemia Kenatale went off so I hope he's ok for this Sat. Despite being Warriors new signing, D'justice Sears Duru played for Canada 'A' in the front row. Anyone know how he played? Toony said the whole squad was to get a run out, so my query is why the internationalists never got a bit of game time. After all, we'll need our strongest team for the Connacht game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for NFL players who have been playing on astro for years. Mind you there is a lot of negative PR about rubber crumb these days. Coconut Husk was used for Falcons pitch as a result. Meant to be a lot cooler on hot days too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played on the existing artificial pitch at Scotstoun a few years back and was amazed that it took a stud for scrums and didn't hurt a bit when you hit it with bare skin. 17 minutes ago, flyingscot said: Same for NFL players who have been playing on astro for years.

Think the rubber crumb is more of an issue in us because they unlike eu allow carcinogens to be used in tyre manufacture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be similar to Killie as I think the same people installed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tune into Sky Sports at 2:30pm for Llanelli Scarlets v Munster. The Connacht v Glasgow Warriors game is on the same channel immediately after. That all finishes about 7pm. The Cardiff Blues v Edinburgh programme starts at 7:30pm on BBC 2. Basically this is my Saturday.
