Honest_Man#1 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Missed it at the time, what happened to Hogg with the HIA? Didn’t even see him take a hit and ran off looking fine so was surprised when he didn’t come back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Worth remembering that Dan Biggar went out and did a big shitey interview about how Scotland were fucking crap, then went and played absolutely shite and publicly blamed a 23 year old playing his 4th international for his own terrible play on more than one occasion before going off with the Welsh limp when the humiliation was on the cards, after being completely outplayed by his opposite number, who he has also slagged off several times in public. What a c**t. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 2 hours ago, Allan Jacobsen said: To add to this, how fucking lucky are we to have had Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg (arguably the best 15 in the world at one point) playing for us at the same time? Also for us Glasgow fans, in the same team. Glasgow on 2015 odd was great. Hogg, Russell, Nakarawa, Jonny Gray were top talents. Anyway terrific fun seeing us do that to Wales and Gatland. Felt they were only in it when we were down to 14. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I know I should wax lyrical about Scotland and it is fantastic to win today, but the bitter football fan part of me enjoyed it more seeing West England look pathetic at their number one sport. Biggar and Gatland in particular, magic. Get it right fucking up you. The Irish should win it from here but if Scotland can pull a rabbit out the hat in Paris... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have managed to catch back, looked like a Tuipulotu clearance caught Hogg slightly rather than anything sinister 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Am I the only one that thinks Biggers pass to Dyer for the butchered try just before half-time, was forward? Nobodies mentioned it but I'm convinced it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did mention it in his surprisingly (and perhaps begrudgingly) good natured post game interview.

Florentine_Pogen Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Interesting info from Wikipedia :- Personal life Van der Merwe is the younger brother of Akker van der Merwe, also a professional rugby union player who plays at hooker.[63] Responding to unverified claims, Duhan confirmed that he was not named after Irish folk musician Johnny Duhan and his brother Akker was not named after clarinetist Acker Bilk.[64] Edited February 12, 2023 by Florentine_Pogen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably muddied by the fact it was a reverse pass, so the ball comes out of the back of his hand, but his hands are moving forwards. Highlight for me was probably watching Duhan tear-up, about what Scotland means to him. I almost blubbed!

velo army Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I'm delighted that Russell and Toonie seemed to have made up. Russell, if he was a footballer, would be Prosinecki. Able to create beautiful art on the field, but don't ask him to train or eat like Cristiano Ronaldo. Anyway, he was unplayable from about the 20th minute yesterday, and his pass to Steyn gets better every time I see it. Ireland were different class yesterday and should win this championship. I can't wait for the France game though, it should be an absolute classic. Their scrum half is the best I've seen since Van Der Westhuizen, and although Ntamack jr didn't have his best game yesterday he's a class act. The half back battle will be utterly absorbing. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm enjoying Rugby more than football right now. Rugby used to be the more complicated sport, but since VAR football has become much more opaque in its rules. I didn't feel clueless as to what was going on yesterday at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really highlight the optical illusion on how the ball travels forward from point of pass. So Finn to Fagerson yesterday and Fagerson to VDM last week were like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The game against France is really huge now. Not sure how much chance we really have, but if we can pull something out the hat over there then we've always got a punchers chance at home against anyone, even Ireland. Gutted we now have to wait two weeks though, most I've enjoyed the 6 nations in years, not just the Scotland games either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Italy maybe want to try putting at least one man into their attacking ruck. That was a horrendous bit of attacking play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 i have the fear that we will lose at least one of the none Scottish based players due to injury 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
