A proper game of two halves though.
I've been in Athens since Monday, only knew about the game when started seeing people kitted out.

@ulstermen

Are the east terrace seats any good? Are they even seats?

How the hell Ulster justifies £60-130 for non-goal stand tickets for a game against the Sharks is beyond me.

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

Maybe someone more inclined to be in such wide positions can opine, but to me it seemed as though VDM was incredibly concerned about taking contact in his try. Thought he had acres of space, a small defender cross tracking. Thought he could have given Finn 5 metres more of give.

Re: November Internationals 2025

Scotland have toured Argentina six times since 2008 and have hosted them the same number of times in November. I don't know why other teams can't do it. As you can imagine this is just a £££ exercise to help the Argies (it's their TRC game, I didn't specify). Tickets are north of £100, and I didn't...

I think that's a good tactic when you're lower down the pecking order. Make sure you get something every chance you get, and make the opposition sweat a bit.
I agree, we won't beat Ireland, SA or New Zealand by being Parks brained.
