Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
I think there's a difference between Richardson and the others as he obviously qualifies via a parent or grandparent while the others qualified via residency. I'll admit that the grandparent route is a bit more dubious, but these things are a bit messy on the modern world - he's only 22, so there'd ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
I do like the look of that squad given who's available - it should be plenty to beat both Georgia & Romania. The "A" game is harder to call, depends what squad England put together but, would assume it'll largely be very fringe players, I can't imagine any established members of the En...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Just noticed, Schoeman isn't in there - presumably he'll be added to the squad for the Romania/Georgia games? I think we need to cap him this year or wait two more years? If he's fit just now, seems a bit of a gamble to wait till the autumn? Perhaps naming someone for a squad when not yet eligible ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Honestly don't know what to make of that....This is a huge gamble from Townsend, as other have said we could easily rack up a load of points but, the game could just as easily get away from us. Having switched from an all out attacking team to a more solid defensive team for the world cup, he sudde...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Well, he probably isn’t feeling the love right now, but he only has one cap to date. Would we feel more or less secure with a rookie 10 in charge of that back division? We all remember the Godman disaster. Hogg at least probably won’t throw any intercepts. To be fair, it wasn't Godman throwing the ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Super sexy team! Bit sad we can't find a 10 though... How does Jaco feel... 100% Scotland isn't it. We now have our deepest pool of tens in recent memory, and they are all either injured, suspended or only half-fit. Well, he probably isn’t feeling the love right now, but he only has one cap to date...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Apparently Toony has already said he won’t be picking Chamberlain or Thompson - “there are other players we will look to first” Wait, are we surprised that an international coach isn't going to be picking a fly half - either one - who's had a handful of senior starts? Glasgow didn't even give Thomp...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Saturday was gutting, after the first 10 minutes there only looked like being 1 winner & we did well to battle our way back into the match but, we give away far too many points from the kick off & this is something that's happened time and time again. Combined with a woeful lineout & the...
