peasy23 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Lions v Glasgow Warriors game postponed tomorrow. There's a stomach bug going round the Glasgow squad.Ulster's game in South Africa also off for the same reason. Both teams unable to field a full squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Wellington win the NZ NPC or equivalent for the first time since 2000 beating Canterbury 26-18 in Christchurch. They’re also hold the Ranfurly Shield so good season for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Im not a fan of Tuipolotu at 12, hardly if ever plays there for Glasgow, and hasnt had one good game there for Scotland (form and game time anyone) but unless they go with McDowall there isnt much choice. Full back is looking like an issue, when does McKay become Scottish? Smith can be hit or miss, I would probably prefer to see kinghorn there as he is a decent fullback 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Glasgow team for tomorrow night. Strongest we have I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Benetton team. Some good players there but I'm sure some will be rested and in the Italy national team camp... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Australia have 5 domestic teams to pick from. We've only got 2. I think that'll be shown in the score. However I'm not bothered as our big games are vs Fiji, NZ and Argentina imo. This game was probably added to get cash into the SRU post pandemic. Scotland team is announced at 2:30pm... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he just makes it under the old 3 year one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Hogg and Gray starting for Exeter on Friday night in their game with Gloucester. Hastings and Harris are starting for Gloucester. I don't care who wins provided there's no injuries to anybody.

Detournement Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, ajwffc said: not far off Cummings out with a broken toe. Skinner is better anyway. Leaving Glen Young out the squad then calling him up rather than putting Richie Gray on the bench is classic Toony. As I always say he never picks the strongest squad, he picks guys to do predetermined roles and some of those roles don't involve playing. I went with Darcy Graham at 15 as I don't rate Smith and long term we need cover for Hogg and a replacement eventually. To be fair to Toony Darcy is the form winger in Europe so playing him on the wing makes sense and Smith is a physical defender which will be handy against a big Aussie backline.

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Strong pack, slightly iffy backline. Was hoping Cummings would get an opportunity to find some form at Scotland level again but still pretty strong. Very funny that Young has been brought straight in over one of the bag carriers. Re @Detournement's point on needing a long term Hogg replacement, how are Forbes and McKay (appreciate there's a few years to go for him to be eligible) going at Glasgow? I've not been able to watch more than a couple of pro club games in full this year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been able to watch more than a couple of pro club games in full this year Forbes is OK, I would maybe say better than Smith at this point, and I thought he looked good in the first few games for Glasgow, but McKay has started the last couple of games and I would say its a noticeable upgrade when he plays. I would say Forbes - really good pro player, but McKay international class. Not to say he is better than Hogg, just he wouldnt look out of place (ie not a liability like some others) playing 15 for Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Miotti looks a better 10 than any others who have started for Glasgow this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Glasgow have just gone up a gear. Very basic first 25mins or so punching through the middle, then when the defence gets narrow, ripping them up on the edge. It's classic Glasgow, without the shambolic "let's chuck it wide regardless" attitude 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
