Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
It's a bit of a mess, unfortunately. Would prefer to go back to an inter pro with Ireland and the Welsh, keep it simple. The Italians I am unsure, they've not been successful but punting them would be tough to do. The Saffers could come good yet but the hemisphere hopping makes a bit of a mockery o...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
The culture of going to a match has changed over the past few years too. It used to be the case that you’d do your pre match drinking well away from the stadium. But now the SRU are welcoming folks into the ground earlier than ever before to spend money in their bars. It’s inevitable that having so ...

Looks like he couldn’t be arsed to do a full Baltic moor. Dragging on the one anchor, two bow thrusters and two stern thrusters and no tug assistance. Truth be told he got away with it there, more b6 accident than design.

I also agree Toony’s time is up. I love the brand of rugby he wants to play, but I’m tired of the Jekyll & Hyde business. Our defence is the worst of any T1 nation, by a country mile, and games are won and lost on defence. Do you think Scotland are better under Townsend than Cotter or roughly the s...
