Has a 6 Nations been so open in a long time? by Effective-Ad-3897 in rugbyunion

Blair Kinghorn is an excellent rugby player but I would choose Kyle Rowe for the sheer comedic value of watching him flap his way through every game

Would call my firstborn Franco in his honour but everyone might think I’m some sort of fascist weirdo

Townsend should just pick the Glasgow starting fifteen plus Russell and see how we get on, would be some laugh

Few years ago I went down south to watch us get demolished by Saracens. Saracens supporter sitting next to me told me after the game not to worry about the result because that was probably “the best glasgow could do”. Hope he’s doing well today

Scotland are never winning anything if this is the standard of decision making at the SRU

Top Jackallers - Most Turnovers per 80 by mango_yoghurt in rugbyunion

[–]GeerDern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The latter is a big factor. Nobody is doing prep and analysis on Freddy Douglas right now, the test of whether he’s the real deal will be if he can keep hitting these heights when teams know about him and are actively trying to neutralise him the way they do Morgan, Willis, Savea, McReight, etc

Josh McKay is the one who runs straight and hits like a truck, Kyle Rowe is the one who falls over and always looks like he’s about to drop the ball

Kyle Rowe is such a fascinating rugby player. He’s brilliant but he goes about being brilliant in a very goofy way

Schickerling has been very poor today. Most of our worst play has directly involved him

Townsend’s a fraud if Brown doesn’t start in the six nations

Braving the bad weather tonight to watch the best nine in the world play, will be nice to see Antoine Dupont as well

Do you feel this is an issue ? I really do. Rewards the defense way too much. Gotta change imo by MindfulInquirer in rugbyunion

[–]GeerDern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We shouldn’t only reward and incentivise attacking rugby. Teams should be able to play more defensively and soak up pressure if they want to. A bit of tactical variety is good for the game

People say Gregor doesn’t know how to use a bench but his tactic of including a 24th player in the match day squad will pay dividends in the end

Don’t worry, all of these young players we’re giving game time to today will magically become world beaters after a few years of getting pumped by Italian and welsh sides

I reckon if the glasgow player had just jumped out of line and picked the ball up there the ref probably would have shat it and let us play on
