Savage Henry Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 That was the picture I was looking for initially. However, I was drawn to this one. Purely because that looks like WP Nel lurking in the background, naturally.Or a beached whale. It’s hard to tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Anyone know if Nel is defo out for Saturday or just a small precaution? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 A calf injury apparently so they should be able to manage it. By the sound of things Skinner is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was more a precaution they took him off, seemingly a calf strain, but Murray McCallum has been called up as a precaution. Brown back in the squad as he starts training again today. Noticed the 7's team went from finishing 5th to finish 2nd last equal this week, not winning a game. On Laidlaw I think he is a cracking scrum half, but his service could be a lot quicker. At the moment as the backrow are not the most mobile (compared to what we had) Laidlaw suits a bit better, but when we had Barclay at 8, Watson and Hardie as wing forwards I thought Horne (at the time Price as well, but he's really gone off the boil) was a better option as he could really speed the pace of the game up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland missed out on a try against Italy in the first half, as I recall, specifically because of Laidlaw's dillydallying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Bit of fun but who do you take greatest pleasure in beating in six Nations, my order is Wales, Ireland, England, France then Italy. 20yrs ago it would have been England but for some reason that's definitely changed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying now he's looking to only miss a couple of weeks, so he'll be back for the back end of the six Nations and the Glasgow game.

The Irish fans are hugely annoying while it's hard to take the Welsh fans seriously but Gatland makes up for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally get your point about Warburton, I used to despise Brian Moore but now think he's a top top bloke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 10 changes to Welsh line up, brave by Gatland in fairness. Italys first home match so they will be well up for it. However I fully expect Oshea to lose again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Team is out for Saturday, probably as expected. Good to see Brown back, but the bench still looks very weak. Rough on Kinghorn, but Maitland is the better player right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Strong looking team. Kinghorn will be disappointed to drop out but Maitland has been in great form for 12 months. Edited February 7, 2019 by Detournement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
