Savage Henry Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 19 hours ago, peasy23 said: I find it utterly bizarre tbh, Kinghorn has effectively been the back up full back and performed well whenever he has come on. And now when the full back is missing? Aye, we'll bring in somebody else and shunt you to 10. If Healy can't be trusted to start against Italy, what actually is the point of bringing him in? Truth is, despite what seems like quite a progressive tournament, nobody has the slightest bit of faith in Scotland winning today. That’s all on Townsend - he’s now put pressure on the 10 and the 15 when there are plainly more reliable options. I guess we’ll see in a couple of hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 That was a poor decision to run that, I think we were winning that kicking duel. Not been a great start tbh, Italy pack are driving us back and making meters, 2 pens already. Looking ominous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Going for the corner because Kinghorn isn't a good enough kicker imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobot Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Here’s a thing, you can’t jump into a tackle so why can you jump for the line? Great try though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 That's excellent from van der Merwe. The awareness, nevermind the ability, to keep his legs off the ground is incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Scotland need to secure their own ball, that's at least 2 pens on our own possession, and to immediately give away the lead like this is pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Ritchie is right about the Italian players lying on our side of the ruck too long mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Ref hasn't done well there. Should have been a couple of pens to Scotland for clear offsides then the TMO has to bail him out. That "no arms tackle" actually looks quite harsh to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Scotland are waiting for an advantage/pen the ref just isn't going to give. Need to be a bit braver, it's very predictable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it's going to be absolutely mental if Italy get a yellow card for being beaten at scrums having been offside at every ruck for the last 10 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Fair play, how often does that actually work? I feel like usually you keep going for those penalty scrums and eventually one of your front row slips and you lose the pen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
