Unless he did it after the match somehow he's fine. Last play of the game but Sam Skinner in for a try.Slick wrote: Sat Feb 20, 2021 5:05 pm Hearing Hoggy has completely fucked his knee, anyone know anything?
Weegies hadn't played for weeks and it showed. Hastings was a bit meh, just like a guy coming back from injury who needed game time. Nakawara is a spent force and not too disappointed to see him off at the end of the season. He doesn't look fit and at his age, not fully recovered from injury and focus gone he would have been an expensive option for next season. This season is a write off for the Scottish teams and best to not get too worried or downbeat about it. some of these guys have played very few games all season and even less for their club team. Trying to get anything going this season is just not on, Ulster looked far more match fit and sharper at the key moments and looked like they have played with each other more, which they have! With a few more games under their belt and one or two of their strike runners back from injury and I reckon we would have seen a different result.I like neeps wrote: Sat Feb 20, 2021 3:51 pmHastings is underrated. To say Hastings to Weir isn't a pretty big downgrade is errrr.clydecloggie wrote: Sat Feb 20, 2021 3:38 pm Glasgow were pretty rank yesterday, lots of huff and puff but little else.
Ulster defence was magnificent, guys like Jones kept running into heavy traffic where they normally would have a few line breaks here an there - and that was all down to Ulster excellence.
Hastings tried to run too much for me, a bit more mixing it up would be better. But he showed his class, I really think he will be a big miss next season.

Not far off a yellow for persistent infringements
Schoeman is having a tough night.
And it's gone.
He really was poor.I like neeps wrote: Sat Feb 20, 2021 9:40 pm I have wasted too much of my life watching Grant Gilchrist play rugby. He's an ineffective lump.
From the Bath games I've seen he's a big abrasive 6 who's solid. Pretty good at everything. Quite excited he's Scottish.
Nice. Sounds promising.I like neeps wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 6:01 pmFrom the Bath games I've seen he's a big abrasive 6 who's solid. Pretty good at everything. Quite excited he's Scottish.
I just realised Ritchie isn't long term injured so imagine Ritchie will play 6.
Hastings over Van Der Walt is a giant improvement.Jock42 wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 6:01 pm Dobbie deserves it. I'd even start him.
Graham is no loss. Hastings is a bit of an improvement.
Good that he’s in, but Richie, Crosbie, Bradbury, Graham all probably best at 6. Darge and Boyle coming through from what I hear are similar. My kingdom for a big abrasive lad who’s favoured position is 8.Begbie wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 6:04 pmNice.

Crosbie, Bradbury and Gary Graham could all be massively improved upon. Boyle is a 7 and Darge has played 8 for Melrose and the under20s.KingBlairhorn wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 6:55 pmGood that he’s in, but Richie, Crosbie, Bradbury, Graham all probably best at 6.

I’d say only a bit of an improvement. He’s a skilful player but is not a strong 10. Unless the game plan is for the playmaker to be at the bottom of a ruck for half the game.I like neeps wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 6:12 pmHastings over Van Der Walt is a giant improvement.Jock42 wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 6:01 pm Dobbie deserves it.

Did well last six nations and has been very good for Glasgow when they've done well getting to the final etc. A very good young 10.Soapy wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 7:03 pmI’d say only a bit of an improvement.

Grant Gilchrist again ...I like neeps wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 5:19 pm https://www.scottishrugby.org/news/scot ... ate-france
Some call ups to Scotland. Notable are Bath 6/second row Josh Bayliss who impressed me when I watched Cam Redpath for Bath, I venture he's our 6 in Paris. Jamie Dobie who I guess gets on the bench as why else call him up? Was training with the squad anyway. Hastings is back so hopefully the last we see of Van Der Walt and Sam Johnson is back probably to start 12. Redpath out injured. As are blade and Gary Graham.

From a Scotland point of view I do want him to do well but he’s got huge flaws in his game that he doesn’t appear to be able to address.
He’s poor at making decisions, bringing others into the game and is constantly taking contact because he’s dithered and charged up a blind alley.
I hope he improves - he’s got natural skills - but as a 10 to lead a team he is very average.

All of which he showed against Ulster on Friday night...... but he is probably the next best option , hopefully Thomson or Chamberlain can make the step upJock42 wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 8:36 pmThat sums up my views more articulately than I would have.Soapy wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 8:00 pmI don’t see it at all.I like neeps wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 7:20 pm

Undoubtedly and he's had some really good games when on form, not consistent with it though.Dogbert wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 8:58 pmAll of which he showed against Ulster on Friday night...... but he is probably the next best option , hopefully Thomson or Chamberlain can make the step upJock42 wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 8:36 pmThat sums up my views more articulately than I would have.Soapy wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 8:00 pm

I think all that is all outrageously harsh. He’s a young guy with much more pressure on him than anyone else because of his dad. He’s not perfect but he is a bloody good player and came in after the Finn huff and played really well at international level. He certainly has the odd brain fart but is a very good all round 10.Jock42 wrote: Sun Feb 21, 2021 9:02 pmUndoubtedly and he's had some really good games when on form, not consistent with it though.
