David990 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 So I was lucky enough to miss this game due to family commitments. First things first, well done Kings. You certainly showed us up, taking your chances and pouncing on our many errors. Think many of us (me included ) were expecting an easy 5 points for us. Boy were we wrong! Reading some of the comments on here and FB it sounds like some players have played their way out of the shirt and the team. Peterson and Horne coming up quite a lot. Hopefully this will put to bed having Horne as our back up 10. We need a specialist 10 to cover for when Hastings is rotated/benching. Positive to take is once Hastings, Price and Gibbons came on, we went on and scored 4 tries in 20 mins. If we had another 5 or 10 mins we maybe (MAYBE) could of went on to win that. Think that’s the only positive I can make at the moment. Don’t think I want to watch this. Perhaps I’ll have a few drinks first. EDIT: think Humphreys should be handed his P45 and given his marching orders. How the f**k is he still involved in Scottish Rugby, I’ll neber know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland vs Italy 2014 at Murrayfield I think. Horne was playing at 10 that day too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snobot Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Just watched it on catch up without knowing the score. The following players should form an orderly queue for the rocket that will be launched into the sun:- Bhatti Peterson Frisbee P Horne i like Bhatti and Horne but ffs, how hard is it to catch the ball or kick it to touch. Frisbee was awful. Jones was completely anonymous. And also, why was the Jackson try disallowed- you could clearly see the grounding. Hastings is our 10 without a doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Things are looking up for Scotland at 10. Finn is playing great, Hastings is improving every game, Wee Duncy scored 22 points in a win against Leicester today with two tries and Lang started at ten for Quims. Hopefully Finn and Zebo limit their bad deeds to the pitch. We don't want Finn being the new Connor Murray http://www.thepotato.ie/2013/08/conor-murray-and-simon-zebo-didnt-engage-in-threesome/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Anyone got any thoughts on Pichot's plans for a new calendar? It basically involves a global 12 nations every year with 3 groups of four, semis and a final. It looks to me like the SH teams are skint and want some NH TV money and gate receipts. I think it would undermine the World Cup and 6 Nations and from a Scotland perspective would be a strain on our playing pool. So naw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Although it will give 2 of the smaller nations (I am they are going to include Italy in top 12 even though they aren't ranked in the top 12) some game time tier 1 teams, it excludes the rest from getting any. So at the moment US and Japan would get to play the big boys but Romania, Georgia, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, Canada etc all miss out.If they want to try something new they should go back to proper World Cup qualifying. Say semi finalist automatically qualify instead of top 12, then everyone else in regional qualifiers. You could even have the tier 1 coming in in the last round so only 2 or 3 games but would improve all the smaller teams just getting the chance to play against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The Tier 1 unions have their own issues and I don't think they are in a position to give up income to help Tier 2 teams. Coaching pathways and increasing participation will improve smaller nations rather than getting pumped by pros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Thats a short sighted view, Spain and Germany for example are huge markets that they should be looking to exploit and if they were at the same level as Georgia they would have already replaced Italy in the 6N's. Spain are not far off (and their women's team were way ahead of Scotland and it was criminal they were kicked out the womens 6N's) and Germay were making progress until the Wild fiasco kicked off. The only way they are going to improve is playing games against the top Tier 2 and lower Tier 1. If we were in a situation where you had a 24 team world cup with proper competition to qualify, plus 10 or 15 teams in with a chance of winning rather than the same 4 of 5 teams you would be able to sell the TV rights for more, hence helping the Tier 1 countries. The tier 1's are trying to keep the pie to themselves, but if they shared now thier slice would be smaller, but of a much bigger pie. In 5 to 10 years you could have Russia, US, Canada, Japan, Spain, Brazil and Germany knocking on the door of being Tier 1, thats what the target should be as they are markets with huge potential and could generate huge amounts of income for NZ / Aus / SA etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
