GAD Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Ooft, Scarlets players passing to each other over the try line because it's so easy now. Humiliation complete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self-raising Lazarus Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 How many heavy losses before the coaching staff at Edinburgh gets a shake up? Losing to a Welsh region is an embarrassment....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Surprised it hadn't been posted already but happened across the back page of the Daily Mail (I know) in Morrisons earlier and the headline was something about the SRU being in talks with someone. Had a quick look (without buying it!) and they are reporting it's Auckland Blues coach Leon MacDonald. There would be no compensation due as he's out of contract in September so could join up after the World Cup. Know nothing about him, so do any of the more knowledge or well travelled folks here know anything about him or the possibility of his joining? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly rated by NZRU, but they won't be able to hold onto him and Robertson in the shorter term, so it's either/or, and he's probably a bit behind Razor at the moment. He'd be an excellent choice tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know nothing about him, so do any of the more knowledge or well travelled folks here know anything about him or the possibility of his joining? He had a lot of success at Crusaders but he was an assistant to Scott Robertson. In his own right he's not won silverware but credit's due as he was head coach of Tasman in the NZ domestic league. 2 finals in a row then SF in his 3rd year. All 3 times losing to Canterbury who feed the traditionally successful Crusaders so he must have impressed Robertson to get onto his coaching team. "If you can't beat them, join them". Poor in his first season with the Blues in 2019 Super Rugby. Then Covid got in the way. However in the 2022 he got them to the final. Lost to Crusaders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Biscuits said: Can we win on Sunday? We definitely can. In our favour is that we have a set of players, almost all of whom are in decent form right now, we've won two already so have a bit of momentum, we've beaten them a couple of times recently and they've not exactly been great in their first two games. Against us is the fact it's in Paris, France are probably man for man a bit better than us, and we don't have a great record of getting things done when the chips are down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Unrest aside that Wales team looks pretty honking for Saturday, getting pumped imo. Would have brought Faletau and Jones back, and if you're replacing Biggar after his display/behaviour then Williams is the only replacement, but it looks like he has no idea what the best combo of youth and experience is at the moment.

The game's in Cardiff and the Wales team have reached a settlement. However their training and prep has been affected. It's the game between the 2 new head coaches but England's issues is just getting the national team playing better. With Wales the issue is down at the grassroots with an ageing squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 if the welsh players turn up to prove a point they will win. Otherwise it will be a cricket score for Engerland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
