Price actually turned away from it rather than try and grab it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to his standard temper tantrum when Glasgow Scotland are in the ascendancy. Exactly why George Horne (in my opinion) will be Laidlaw's successor and not Price. This. I used to roast that Stirling fan(Dogmg?)or big upping George Horne so much, but he was right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Ridiculously naive at times, some dreadful decision making towards the end there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Pish second half and we're overly reliant on Hogg, even more so when Russell is having one of those games where his decisions are wrong (or his execution is awful when they are right). Line outs were poor other than the Watson try, scrums were a bit all over the place and some of the handling was iffy. Good in a way to get this out the way ahead of the 6 Nations and World Cup but it's still not good to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I think Horne will start next week. We lost that on the floor. Poite let them away with murder not releasing, hands on the ground, second man in but Skinner didn't do enough to clear out. Hogg injured again as well. The guy needs to lay off whatever training regime he's on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way we play, we will play exactly same in 6N, sometimes it pays off sometimes not. When the ball is in our 22, we need to clear our lines. We also need to go through more phases before we unleash the backs. We have a good team, but we will do the same things come 6N. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irritating result but better now than in an important match. 9 minutes ago, Detournement said: Hogg injured again as well. The guy needs to lay off whatever training regime he's on. For someone who, according to Toonie, apparently needs as many games as possible in case he gets injured, he seems to get injured a lot. Could be an unpopular point of view but might his transfer to Exeter next year be a blessing in disguise for Glasgow? As long as it isn't Folau who replaces him. 5 minutes ago, Frankie S said: False dichotomy. You know we’ll make a c**t of it then too. I was typing this through tears. I was mildly raging tonight. I fully expect us to make it to the semis and then do a Gavin Hastings. Or somehow win the whole thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hogg seems to be in a group of guys like Sean O'Brien, Billy Vunipola, Sam Warbuton and Manu Tuliagi who just have far too much muscle on and their bodies can't handle it. Compared to a few years ago he looks huge in the arse, shoulders and neck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I was somewhat annoyed by that result and then I realised was getting annoyed about Scotland losing narrowly to a springboks side that won in WellingtonI’m still annoyed but grateful that this is the kind of thing I’m now getting annoyed about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printer Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Really enjoyed the SA game. Clearly the first half was top notch with cracking tries - the first Scotland one being a classic.It's good to see SA with a very strong side. World rugby is better when both they and NZ are strong IMO.Russell was poor yesterday. Both he and Hogg should have cleared their lines several times when they tried to run it.Townsend will have learned quite a bit about some if his players, as will they, and that will be something he can look to build on with the Six Nations coming up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have vastly improved as a competitive force in the last few seasons, both in quality and depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Townsend's team is as Townsend the player does. The same accusations you could have made about him (particularly when playing at 10), you could make about his team now. I'd far rather they play like that and sometimes look incompetent, than to watch a team playing Gatlandball. Given the quality of players available, you don't get things like the first try without having the odd jittery slap-your-forehead moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
