Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
I think there's a difference between Richardson and the others as he obviously qualifies via a parent or grandparent while the others qualified via residency. I'll admit that the grandparent route is a bit more dubious, but these things are a bit messy on the modern world - he's only 22, so there'd ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
I do like the look of that squad given who's available - it should be plenty to beat both Georgia & Romania. The "A" game is harder to call, depends what squad England put together but, would assume it'll largely be very fringe players, I can't imagine any established members of the England squad ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Just noticed, Schoeman isn't in there - presumably he'll be added to the squad for the Romania/Georgia games? I think we need to cap him this year or wait two more years? If he's fit just now, seems a bit of a gamble to wait till the autumn?
Perhaps naming someone for a squad when not yet ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Honestly don't know what to make of that....This is a huge gamble from Townsend, as other have said we could easily rack up a load of points but, the game could just as easily get away from us. Having switched from an all out attacking team to a more solid defensive team for the world cup, he ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Well, he probably isn’t feeling the love right now, but he only has one cap to date. Would we feel more or less secure with a rookie 10 in charge of that back division? We all remember the Godman disaster. Hogg at least probably won’t throw any intercepts.
To be fair, it wasn't Godman ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Super sexy team!
Bit sad we can't find a 10 though...
How does Jaco feel...
100% Scotland isn't it. We now have our deepest pool of tens in recent memory, and they are all either injured, suspended or only half-fit.
Well, he probably isn’t feeling the love right now, but he only has ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Apparently Toony has already said he won’t be picking Chamberlain or Thompson - “there are other players we will look to first”
Wait, are we surprised that an international coach isn't going to be picking a fly half - either one - who's had a handful of senior starts? Glasgow didn't even ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Saturday was gutting, after the first 10 minutes there only looked like being 1 winner & we did well to battle our way back into the match but, we give away far too many points from the kick off & this is something that's happened time and time again. Combined with a woeful lineout & there was only ...
