same_ol_g35 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Been thinking again about the backline for tomorrow, and how it's probably the strongest overall that I've seen Scotland field. The only comparable ones would be the 1990 GS/1991 RWC team, and the 1999 team that won the 5N. 1990 - Hastings, Stanger, Hastings, Lineen, Tukalo, Chalmers, Armstrong 1999 - Metcalfe, Murray, Tait, Leslie, Logan, Townsend, Armstrong 2017 - Hogg, Maitland, Jones, Dunbar, Seymour, Russell, Laidlaw. The only one I'd 100% swap is Armstrong for Laidlaw. I'd definitely keep the wingers. Any other change would be a borderline call. I'd take the 1990 back line. Probably more due to sheer nostalgia as that was around the time I really caught the rugby bug. But totally agreed this current crop are on a par with them and well beyond more recent groupings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 How mentally wk are Scottish teams... Edinburgh beaten by 1 point. Scotland u20 dominated Ireland.. beaten by 1 point. Ladies beaten by injury try. Scotland beaten by 1 point last two times v Oz. Munster pipping Glasgow in champions cup big game. Pathetic really. Same will happen tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sticking with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 It's the refs. They're all pannies. If Mr Jacobsen was still around, this wouldn't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I like to watch a bit of rugby but don't understand all of the rules. I've learned enough, though, to know that all referees are anti-Scottish cunts. Especially that b*****d from the Australian World Cup QF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Tbf to women's team....prior to this season they were losing EVERY game by 30 +points. Being competitive now counts as an enormous step forwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 And in fairness to Scotland 20....its been a huge turnover in personnel....the last two seasons they've been hugely competitive for the first time ever beating Italy Wales, thrashing England n beating Australia for 1st time ever at that level...now those guys are holding fort for Scotland 7s, Glasgow n embra. The u20s are now a very young inexperienced squad again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same will happen tomorrow Harsh on both u20 which have had a huge turnover in personnel n ladies who in prev years have been utter cannon fodder. Mental strength wasn't an issue in that and it won't be at murrayfield....fair refereeing might be....but there was bugger all wrong with scottish mentality when Glasgow with an all scottish side stuck 43 on Leicester away from home, when Glasgow won pro 12 cpl yrs back, when scottish u20 horsed England u20s 4 converted tries to nil last year, when u20s beat Australia in u20 rwc last season...what we need is a positive fan base n refs who don't screw us over before game even starts. That's before we mention Glasgow beasting bath at home n embra beasting harlequins home n away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I absolutely love the 6 nations and am looking forward to this afternoon's match like it's Xmas. Three failed rugby-playing dads and three current rugby-playing sons with mixed nationalities including Scotland, Sweden, China, France, Ireland and England coming to the hoose. We'll have stovies and bottles of beer from The Chiltern Brewery. Expecting a Scotland win. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Kinghorn playing for Edinburgh yesterday, though maybe he's too old now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
