ajwffc Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Some odd moves made today. Strauss and Fife among seven players cut from the squad. Also that fat English guy who patently isn't good enough was let go. Strauss has not been cut but is going back to Glasgow to get game time as he can't play for Scotland yet.

come on shire Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Mike Cusack has been out for a year with injury/illness. I've liked him considering. Jim Hamilton should have been cut. Too big a hot-head and not as good as Harley, Gilchrist and the Grays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Mike Cusack has been out for a year with injury/illness. I've liked him considering. Jim Hamilton should have been cut. Too big a hot-head and not as good as Harley, Gilchrist and the Grays. I honestly don't think he goes. I've tried to get my 31 in bold. Much depends on injuries- Dunbar I guess doesn't make it, Grant does.

Northsea80 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Squad to face Italy, certainly the strongest of the warm up games so far. The only alarming thing is the naming of Laidlaw as captain! Edited August 25, 2015 by Northsea80 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It was a very good performance and it was fun to watch. Italy were surprisingly poor, especially giving away three interception tries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Finished 19-12 to Canada. How strong was the Canadian team? The Warriors were obviously under strength with the amount of players on international duty. Strauss played the full 80 minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know the Canada team was made up from players from there final 31 man squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Glasgow could have won, but neither team were taking the points from penalties and kicking for the corner instead, as they had most of the play in the second half apart from 5 minutes when Canada scored. Looked a very strong team from Canada as well, and considering all the players missing from Glasgow its looking good for the new season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thought the World Cup squad would be announced today. Despite his performance on Saturday I think Barclay gets left out. I also think Strauss might miss out along with Rob Harley. Jackson as the back up Stand off instead of Weir. Won't take the risk with Dunbar either I don't think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
