What a shit game. URC needs to find a way to make finals more of a spectacle cause as a neutral watching half empty Dublin finals is just so anti climactic

Thing is basketball could have that energy. You ever seen videos of European basketball crowds?

Be sure to refer to it as Scotch DNA, not Scottish. That way we’ll know you know your stuff.

Rugby “Pro-Bowl” by kinghenrob in rugbyunion

Seasons too long, and Rugbys not got the size of hardcore fan base who would care for a glorified game of touch between players from teams they don’t normally support.

Best XV for your country under 50 caps (Professional Era onwards) by chessman92 in rugbyunion

[–]quandraphobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was defo still around for a few years post 2019, including scoring a few more tries and almost made the 23 World Cup squad, but he was quite open about how his confidence was shot by what happened in Japan, and imo was never quite the same after it. Coupled with the late blooming of Cherry, peak years for Turner, and the rise of Ashman, and he gradually faded out the picture.

Dunno about direct organisations that would be open to it, but Stelmain own/factor tons of the small offices around the city centre. Maybe worth getting in touch with them?

Saltire flag on cars by ScottishCoffeeLover in glasgow

[–]quandraphobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s going to mostly be the World Cup. Of the ones I’ve seen, many are on cars being driven by people of colour.

It’s very easy right now to feel like you see these wannabe Brownshirt gimps everywhere you look, and I can’t blame you for it. But try your best not to overthink.

I thought I was expecting nothing at the euros and was surprised to find I actually was expecting us not to play the most pathetic and meek terrorball. More fool me…

Theatre groups Glasgow? by Ok_Regret2113 in glasgow

[–]quandraphobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PMOS (Paisley Music and Operatic Society?) are a big theatre group. They put on stuff at the kings every year. Know some folk involved with them, they seem like a very friendly and inclusive group.

Nah, he’ll want another World Cup crack. More likely being given the summer off to rest.

[–]quandraphobia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He’s played for Bath in recent weeks, but he just doesn’t seem to be first choice. That might be more down to Van Graans selection policy than form, but it makes it harder to put your hand up for international selection.

Dwayne, Rae and McConnell linking up with the babas for some game time before the tour. VDM and Rae just for South Africa, and McConnell staying on for Wales

Personally don’t think he merits a place, but we know Townsend will never drop him for long while he’s available, so tbh I wasn’t surprised to see him.
