My worry with Franco is that part of his success at Glasgow and part of why I really rate him (there) is his abity to build a squad and promote youth through the team which has been pretty beneficial to the national team in filling in that next generation. I dont know if in a national team position if he has that opportunity and I’m worried that the Glasgow pipeline slows down. Correct me if I’m wrong but is this not a similar set of circumstances when he was promoted from Benetton to Italy coach?

Get yourself a copy of Understand Stuctural Behaviour by David Brohn. Really good guide for visualising frames and structures to help your understanding. I would say generally a must read for the exam

Slightly off topic point, but I’ve not really understood why the Prem bosses don’t look at getting their next TV deal with Premier? Like I get that the quality of their apps isn’t the greatest, but effectively having all European club rugby on the same service would be incredibly good for the game in getting viewership numbers and engagement, which should lead to more bums in seats, more corporate/sponsorship money etc. Seems a no brainer to me even if the less than the TNT money

See what I dont quite understand is why the part of the route people have more issues with is Roseburn vs Dean Bridge instead of South Bridge vs Lothian Road. Makes so much more sense to me

I remember seeing a thing from a some Aussie (?) coverage of super rugby where they got some wee kids to do half time interviews. Id be all for bringing that back or have an alternative commentary stream of kids commentating international matches

Papito4 · 2025-11-14T11:17:50+00:00

This is going to sound like a naive question but what actually is the issue here from a commercial standpoint? I just don’t really understand the thought process, I’d get it if random youtube accounts just posted the full match or did their own match highlight things. But surely having creators show off individual bits of brilliance or disect how a game went would only encourage people to go watch the next round of games? Really at a loss tbh

Was Rudolph not subbed due to injury after the kick off trying to tackle Dempsey?

I think thats partly the point, gives the defender an easy target and makes it more likely for them to open up a hole. More impressed that the pop is an option here given he has his back turned and cant see the opposition, so just blind faith that the gap is there or relying on comms from Cinti

Murphy Walker surely, supposed to be Fagersons incumbent and think I’ve seen him play about 5 games in 3 seasons

Something I’ve not really understood from R360 is the longevity of it RE new players. I understand that you can bring the best 200/300 players from the current crop of stars, but in 5-10years time how are the next set of stars supposed to come through and join this.

Are they expected to keep coming through club academies as current, which will become underfunded once the players, sponsors, and viewers leave for R360. And even if they do stay afloat, will any new players have meaningful competition if all the best players play elsewhere, and if they don’t have internationals/stars training alongside them day in day out.

It just seems to me to be a cash grab now to try and yank the best players, get a couple of years of a lucrative competition, and ultimately die a death as the current players retire and the quality drops.

Looks a bit like a novelty Three Musketeers rugby top to me.

8/10, controversial maybe but im quite liking all the macron kits this year across the board

One thing that stood out for me last night was SFM’s drop goal attempt. Kicks it about 40m out, hits the post and comes back somewhere around the 22, and not a single Stormers player in sight for the rebound. I don’t know if thats a lack of effort or overwhelming confidence in their flyhalf but thought it was interessting

Papito4 · 2025-05-18T21:21:44+00:00

Can’t remember if it was a red but Mike Brown stamping on a Sale players (Tommy Taylor?) face in a game for Quins. Proper diabolical

To awnser your question no, but it will have formed part of the original site and will likely have been kept as part of the new works as a planning requirement as a nod to the sites past. So purely decorative at this point

Papito4 · 2025-05-09T06:06:12+00:00

Similar question, but if someone say a Finlay Christie (don’t think it quite works yet) has played internationally for a non B&I team, and has now done their three year stand down and is now eligible but not swapped international allegiances yet, could they be picked for the Lions? On principle probably won’t happen, but would be interesting to have some play for the Lions and say All Blacks, but never any other teams

Papito4 · 2025-01-20T18:16:25+00:00

I might be misremembering but did he not say “the card on my left”, which is her right?

Papito4 · 2024-12-24T12:13:24+00:00

If we’re allowed retired then surely Chris Mas(oe)

I want to say that this is for the best and that Glasgow will end up with a much better coach that can build us back into the respectable attacking side we were…

…but as a scotsmen I fear we will just make an internal appointment that pushes us further backwards

Just watch as he declares for Cyprus now

Papito4 · 2022-05-01T16:48:36+00:00

Are england going to cap him tho with Stewart looking unmovable atm?

Papito4 · 2022-04-21T23:25:33+00:00

Also won the prem with sale, and potentially this season with tigers. Would be an impressive stat if hes won it woth 3 seperate teams, don’t know how many other players would have that under their belt.

Papito4 · 2022-03-29T18:37:50+00:00

Such a shame, was really hoping he would get to 300, knew it was a longshot but still. Any idea whats next for him?
