I'd have Kinghorn in. That could be what they're looking at with bringing Healy into Edinburgh. Frees Kinghorn up to play at Fullback for Edinburgh. Still only 26. Seems to have been around for a longtime.RodneyRegis wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 6:45 pm I can't believe people are even discussing hogg vs Kinghorn.
It's a tough call because Kinghorn hasn't played 15 in a long time and Wales were not very good so hard to really judge.RodneyRegis wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 6:45 pm I can't believe people are even discussing hogg vs Kinghorn.
Does need a duscussion though.
Edinburgh have a top 2-3 in the world full back. For a club tram their back 3 and bench player is probably Graham, Van der Merwe, Boffeli and then Kinghorn.Turbiner wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 6:47 pmI'd have Kinghorn in.

Need to check on Sir.
He's making muffled noises from behind his Gimp mask.

He definitely isn't, if he was he'd not of spent most of his time on the wing the last 3 seasons.Big D wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 6:49 pmEdinburgh have a top 2-3 in the world full back.

Well done Scotland !
Sometimes; "Workmanlike", & "Efficient", sound like digs, but that was exactly what they needed to do tonight, & they delivered this evening, & finished their chances, & didn't offer the game up on a plate to Wales with stupid penalties or lapses.

Yup. 27 years since they won their first 2 opening fixtures so a dead cert to make it 3 on the bounce now.
There's 3 better full backs than Boffeli?Turbiner wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 6:53 pmHe definitely isn't, if he was he'd not of spent most of his time on the wing the last 3 seasons.
Well done Scotland - awesome win. Lots of excellent performances and an inspired Russell leading the way - thought he controlled things superbly in the 2nd half and still addded that touch of flair to open up the defence.
Hard luck Wales - lots of endeavour but this is your worst side for many years.
Should be a proper cripple fight against us

I'd rate every starting full back in the Six Nations ahead of him. He is not even selected at full back for Argentina. When Mallia is fit he starts at fullback.

Madness.
Hogg at his peak, maybe, but it's been a while since we've seen that.
Steward's miles away from being in Boff's class at this stage of his career.
Beaudy might be a better rugby player than Boffelli, but he's not a better fullback. Jordy's not even part of the conversation.
FoS is controversial in Scotland for that reason. What other song are you talking about? Loch Lomond is the other song sung at the rugby and it has hee haw to do with the English.quarter2four wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 6:43 pm Both Scottish songs both about nationalism/standing up to England ring hollow.
Interesting to see vd Merwe get emotional about how Edinburgh and Scotland saved his career when he could not pass a medical, took a chance, helped him to heal and develop into the player he is now. And how much he owes Scotland as a result.

Theirs to lose.
Now that they've thrown the Welsh monkey/hoodoo off their backs, there's no one they can't beat.
Credit where it's due, Richard Cockerill was a big player in that set of circumstances.
Well, Loch Lomond is about a Scottish soldier dying in England during one of the Jacobite rebellions, I’m fairly sure. So you could argue there’s a connection there, although a tenuous one.weegie01 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 8:39 pmFoS is controversial in Scotland for that reason. What other song are you talking about?

It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

that must feel like a final for Ireland. Uncharted territory and probably a bridge too far. Making it through a semi first would be a sensible goal.

Scotland play Italy in the last round, we go to Paris next, then host Ireland in the fourth round

Fair enough on FOS. Makes sense people would question it. Loch Lomond I'm fairly sure is about two soldiers fighting in a battle in England.One dies and takes the low road, the other lives and takes the high road back to his homeland.weegie01 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 8:39 pmFoS is controversial in Scotland for that reason.

Not trolling. For me it is hypocrisy to sing a heartfelt song about being a nation and then you have the chance to be a nation but you say ney we might lose a few quid so say ney.

The lyrics you’re probably referring to are often mis-heard/sung, they are “… we can still rise now and be THE nation again, that stood against him…”quarter2four wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 9:32 pmNot trolling.

Nothing about being A nation again because we are already.
