GAD Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Watching Gloucester is a bit like watching Glasgow against the best teams. They are having a crack, but just not quite good enough, didn't take their chances and slowly getting ground down. Ref not doing them much favours either, decided Sharks were dominant at scrum, which they are tbf, but he's ignoring the times it's actually Sharks at fault and just giving them a penalty every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Is anyone going to any of the autumn games? I quite fancied heading along to one or two this year, but either the games are crap or the timings are crap. Fiji at 5.40 on a Saturday is ok on paper till you realise it's outside the window so nobody that plays in England or France, and I assume that applies to Fiji as well. You've got South Africa and Australia, both fucking Sundays, and the Australian one is at 1.40, then the only other Saturday game is Portugal. I can honestly see them struggling to shift tickets to all these games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to the Fiji game - its one of my mates 50th's and we all fancied going along and standard night out in Embra after, but as you say 2 Sunday games and the other Saturday being Portugal we went for the Fiji game as best of a bad bunch, would have gone for Australia had it been a Saturday, Im sure all maybe bar Portugal will sell out or close to it, but its not great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll sell out, I don't know, the tickets are pretty expensive. SA is £42-95, Aus not much cheaper. Even Portugal is £27 for cheapest ticket. I think you are right about the Fiji one being the best of a bad bunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Essentially the Drua vs a Glasgow and Edinburgh select. Hardly a real international but it's Fiji so will probably be entertaining at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Referee has made an absolute arse of the management of that Cancelliere decision. The TMO may not have had enough evidence to overturn it, but the fact that the ref blew before Cancelliere grounded it meant that it was never an option. Glasgow are in full "Bad Glasgow" mode though, chucking offloads when it isn't on, and Jamie Dobie's kicking has been absolutely appalling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's doing that thing where he's refereeing the minutae that doesn't really matter while missing clear offsides, early tackles and hits off the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 That's absolutely horrible rugby from Glasgow. Utterly brainless, Bhatti just threw that without any clue who was where. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
