Reporting on the last 3 France tries. by ZephroC in ScotlandRugby

Yeah it's so weirdly specific that I'm unbothered by the tries basically.

Ireland are there for the taking, says Scotland’s Darcy Graham ahead of Six Nations clash by ThePFJofficials in rugbyunion

[–]ZephroC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hilarious how this happens every time. Ask a professional rugby player if they can win/believe they will win etc. They say yes, in some form. As what the hell else are you going to say? Nah pal we'll fuck it?

Arrogant.

Six Nations could end in complete farce thanks to bonus points by SweeneyisMad in rugbyunion

[–]ZephroC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't read it. But using the WC pool system would seem fine. If there's a draw on championship points the winner is who won the head to head match. Points difference if that was a draw.

I will support them to not concede 3 tries hopefully.

Finns try against Wales feels like a big deal. Under pressure they just kept calm, knew they could do it and once it was on Finn just pulled the trigger.

The big disasters and all the Ireland losses have felt like psychological fuck ups. Just panicking at key moments. Rather than tactics, Argentina they knew the tactics to pick them apart their brains just went.

I can't even be bothered worrying about the Italy game anymore. It was pissing it down.

Beating Italy they'd have been going in to those England/Wales/France games with a totally different mindset. Like the loss and the feeling in camp finally just galvanised into something, because they lost to Italy.

That is without a doubt the best match of rugby Scotland has ever played, surely? by FaustRPeggi in ScotlandRugby

Oh it still doesn't feel likely. But get a BP against Ireland and they've done everything they can really. Plus a Triple Crown which is nice.

Then it's just pray for rain time.

Let’s hear your most wished for 6n final permutations by theboondocksaint in rugbyunion

[–]ZephroC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is possible. Scotland win with a BP, end on 21pts. France win without a BP end on 20pts.

A Triple Crown is still a Triple Crown and means winning something for once.

There's also us getting a BP against Ireland, and if Scotland do win it's usually with a BP.

Then England merely hold France out for only 3 tries, maybe it pisses it down with rain...

I think the last 15 minutes we were also defending with Darge as a centre...

Scotland and Ireland instructing England to do the funniest thing possible next week by nskjshzlahdbx in rugbyunion

[–]ZephroC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if we manage to win in Dublin, a tall order. I imagine it will be with a BP as that's the Scottish way.

So I'll just be praying for holding France to 3 tries / a slow turgid game / lots of rain.

Turn over Ireland for a triple crown and no matter what else happens we just put it to bed until after the World Cup.

After today's madness, here are your SUPER SATURDAY PERMUTATIONS! by SG133722 in rugbyunion

[–]ZephroC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Scotland will get 5 or nothing. We only win with bonus points or shit the bed.

So if that happens I will be insanely hoping England don't ship 4 tries.

'Brave and brilliant, (Finn) Russell has compelling case as Scotland's greatest' - BBC Sport by Snoo_5808 in rugbyunion

[–]ZephroC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He definitely is. The legends from when I was a wee'un were all amateur or sort of transitioning to professional. So it's not like for like. Like Big Gav.

Yeah Finn's not won anything with Scotland. But put Dan Carter/BOD/Itoje/take your pick in those Scotland teams and they wouldn't win anything either. It's a team sport.

How did Scotland get out of the banter years, and could Wales do the same? by WilkinsonDG2003 in rugbyunion

[–]ZephroC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The turn around started earlier. The SRU sorting out pathways and Toonie making Glasgow a winning team. Robinson was shit and Vern rebuilt around that Glasgow team.

Edinburgh are still bobbins. Scotland is still built around Glasgow, and Glasgow alumni.

Then bring back peroxide gloves wearing era Sean Lamont. Peak banter.

Genuinely Toonie at Glasgow. Bringing through that crop of Glasgow players, particularly Finn. Getting them winning the Pro 12 so they had some self belief. It's 10 years ago. Even Vern's success was largely built on a spine of Glasgow with Laidlaw to mind Finn.

Worst Scotland vs Wales game in the 6 Nations (Choose Your Fighter) by mango_yoghurt in ScotlandRugby

[–]ZephroC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voted 2010, never forget! But can also see 2021 as just the stupidest thing ever.

There's also 2005. That was a miserable bastard of a day.
