The difference between Kinghorn and VdW is crazy. Blair's attacking system works beautifully when the 10 attacks the line and the passing crisply. Neither VdW can do. I want a stewards inquiry on his Scotland cap.Big D wrote: Sat Jan 15, 2022 5:51 pmMoving the 1st choice 10 for a winger injury is plain daft especially after 33min.I like neeps wrote: Sat Jan 15, 2022 5:18 pm At the Irish Edinburgh game and I have to say Jaco van Der Walt is one of the worst players I've seen live.

That, as well as they plan all week for BK at 10 then throw it out the window because of an injury in the position thats easiest to fill in an emergency just doesn't feel right.I like neeps wrote: Sat Jan 15, 2022 6:00 pmThe difference between Kinghorn and VdW is crazy.

You have to question Wilson don't you.Tichtheid wrote: Sat Jan 15, 2022 7:15 pm I think Glasgow's performance in the last third of that game can be described as complete and utter pish.
I've never seen them that bad, not since I used to hear scores on a Saturday morning because the games weren't televised, back in the Firhill days.
More than enough experience and internationals on that pitch. No leadership at all in the last 30.I like neeps wrote: Sat Jan 15, 2022 7:41 pmYou have to question Wilson don't you.Tichtheid wrote: Sat Jan 15, 2022 7:15 pm I think Glasgow's performance in the last third of that game can be described as complete and utter pish.

Sure Brown and Wilson were poor when they came on and they're the leaders. But Glasgow have far too many capitulations these days. It's on Wilson.Big D wrote: Sat Jan 15, 2022 7:48 pmMore than enough experience and internationals on that pitch.

Players should take the blame just as they took praise for beating Exeter pre Christmas.
I take it he was good again then?
I think Flats might well have ditched Mish in favour of Darge
It was when Darge went off it become such a palavar. He was the best player on the pitch, again.
Grandparent (grandmother I believe). He played for us at U16s, but then switched to England.Begbie wrote: Sun Jan 16, 2022 9:57 am Seen a few folk saying we should give Andy Christie from Saracens a call up. Anyone know how he qualifies for Scotland?
At least 3 or 4 Chief's players would have something to say about that, including Hogg!I like neeps wrote: Sun Jan 16, 2022 8:34 amIt was when Darge went off it become such a palavar. He was the best player on the pitch, again.
As I said it's a very very interesting decision for Townsend. I'd play Darge though.
Sorry to clarify I'm not saying Darge should have won motm but Exeter scored the majority of their points after he was replaced. Was the best player on the park until he was subbed then Exeter just ran riot.SaintK wrote: Sun Jan 16, 2022 11:16 amAt least 3 or 4 Chief's players would have something to say about that, including Hogg!I like neeps wrote: Sun Jan 16, 2022 8:34 amIt was when Darge went off it become such a palavar.

Mind you I have to say I was puzzled he was hooked, easily Glasgow's best player up until then.
His mum or dad I guess both him and his brother played age grades. Not sure he'd want to throw his lot in with Scotland quite yet. Backrow is a competitive spot for us and he's only this year a regular prem starter. Might make sense for him to wait a year or two.Begbie wrote: Sun Jan 16, 2022 9:57 am Seen a few folk saying we should give Andy Christie from Saracens a call up.

Just to follow on from this, end-of-season rumours are that Schoemann is off to Sale and Cips is being released, leaving Orlando Bailey, some youth squad and not much else at fly half - of course Bath are after another 10, but suspect this means Redpath might be seen as cover at 10.inactionman wrote: Fri Jan 14, 2022 1:55 pmSchoemann (T) has ben out for a while (although I think he might be approaching end of rehab), Cipriani has had concussion and covid and general knocks and not sure about Orlando Bailey - he's not in squad so assume crocked/covided.KingBlairhorn wrote: Fri Jan 14, 2022 1:41 pmAt 10 no less.

The phrase 'Schoeman is off to Sale' made me panic for a minute until I realised it wasn't Schooooo.inactionman wrote: Mon Jan 17, 2022 9:40 amJust to follow on from this, end-of-season rumours are that Schoemann is off to Sale and Cips is being released, leaving Orlando Bailey, some youth squad and not much else at fly half - of course Bath are after another 10, but suspect this means Redpath might be seen as cover at 10.inactionman wrote: Fri Jan 14, 2022 1:55 pmSchoemann (T) has ben out for a while (although I think he might be approaching end of rehab), Cipriani has had concussion and covid and general knocks and not sure about Orlando Bailey - he's not in squad so assume crocked/covided.KingBlairhorn wrote: Fri Jan 14, 2022 1:41 pm

No great impact on Scotland, other than some specific development of his distribution skills which is no bad thing for an IC.
Also no clue if there's a search for a replacement for Faletau/Mercer, or if Bayliss is seen as the fulltime 8 (he's been in and across all backrow positions).
If he's the one I'm thinking about (with a beard?) I hope he's improved since the AI's!!!!Biffer wrote: Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:05 pm Congratulations to Mike Adamson, appointed to ref two games in the 6Ns. France v Italy and England v Wales. Running the line in two others as well.
