Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

I wouldn't say no to Mikey Blair as I like his gung-ho attacking style of play but I do agree that he should be the man to replace whoever replaces Townsend next November. I know there won't be a shortage of candidates but my number 1 choice would be Stuart Lancaster if he's not snapped up by Racing...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

I really like the idea of putting under 20 team into Super 6 so maybe Kenny Murray doesn't need the axe yet lol, most coaches winless in over 16 tests would be out the day after the tournament ended but I suppose Messrs Mallinder and Dobson can see the issue and believe its not a coaching one, thoug...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Really excited to see what Ben White can offer at 9 and tbh, the tour is for giving as many players a chance as possible otherwise we'll never know if their ready for international rugby, we got a glimpse of his capabilities in Feb v England anyway :). So Hutch at 15 again when nearly EVERY FAN call...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Surely Hutch gets the summer tour because Gregor rewards excellent form (wasn't that the reason Vellacott got in the 6N team?) plus he can play 15 which is q bonus with Hogg likely rested. Also, I saw on Twitter that Chile is looking likely to be June 25 and will be against a Scotland A team so we c...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

I'm a big fan of Townsend and have stated on here that I am not calling for a sacking but I'm getting increasingly fearful that he will because, a) journalists (first Rob Robertson, now Neil Drysdale of the Press and Journal) are calling for his head as well as some fans, no pundit has had a say yet...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

https://news.stv.tv/sport/six-nations-questions-for-scotland-gregor-townsend-and-stuart-hogg FFS maybe there is something in the Townsend to be sacked rants of fans and journalists because STV Rugby journalist Mr Borthwick is also saying he's under "severe pressure" and there are "sev...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

If not Townsend - then who ? Exactly my thoughts but have a look on page 3 of this article lol, that list isn't exactly inspiring either bat ons who is NOT taking the job and another who isn't leaving Ireland and a crack at another URC title!! Why Gregor is even on this article I don't know, presum...

Has GT lost the dressing room?

I've started this thread now as I have seen LOTS of Tweets especially from journalists that ridiculously think the answer to the above question is yes, they also believe its hard for him to stay on due to it, which again is ridiculous. I posted in the Scotland thread that it wouldn't surprise me if ...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

I really hope this doesn't happen but I also can see Gregor get sacked or possibly resign after the 6N, you just know Mark Dodson is the type of CEO to do it just before a world cup in less than 18 months!! If it does happen then I want either Jamie Joseph or Stuart Lancaster (though I doubt he'd wa...

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Will we see another winger called up or will the messiah go with what he's got :)?

When is the squad update anyway, wasn't it the Monday the last time?

I really hope Kyle Rowe gets a go but I may have to wait until July for that :( lol

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

For me, we have to go as strong as possible for Italy with maybe a couple of changes, certainly nothing drastic or too knee jerk etc.

If we want to experim etc then do that in July (especially against Chile) and Autumn, that's what these games are for, not the 6N.
