Penny for the thoughts of the defence coaches?

Only caught 20mins of the game at the weekend and just got round to watching it. Site co-founder Al prides himself on offering the "man on the bus" view of Scottish Rugby! 70 Shields 19 Gray 81 92 Farrell 10 Russell 81 Lots of people have BT Sport and can see Harris play – I doubt many people are basing their mehness on his Scotland performances. The forwards especially look powerful and should be able to negate the English tight game somewhat. We do not want to be in our own third of the pitch, their midfield will make yards against us, running the ball out would be foolish in the extreme. Harris to come on and get the winning try at the death! I’d take a tight 9-8 victory any day though I think that’s the most unlikely of anything. I though he was mediocre against a “proper team” in the SA match which I believe he started at 6.

Glad to see Sam Johnson back, think he is defensively more solid than Horne and while he doesn’t have the boot, offers a bit more in attack. 81 Daly 15 Maitland 82, 80 Cowan-Dixie 16 Brown 78 You turned off after that missed pen? Pinball was outrageous when he came on, he must be an absolute nightmare to tackle. On Russell, he’s dropped down the ratings a bit because the overall Scottish performance hasn’t allowed him as much influence. Neither is perfect but the scrum was solid under brown…, He is not your big ball carrying style number 8 but I think he can offer a lot in the…, Watched the match and though the forwards were outmatched for an hour by their professional French counterparts the spirit was…, Well, France and Italy lost. 84 May 11 McGuigan 73 Obviously Hastings is covering the inside backs and fullback and Harris is there as a utility back to cover the outside back positions. } catch (e) { What is it with us? Something about Griggs tackling that has been pointed out elsewhere. Wales do and always have, they find a way to win even if they are not playing that well, they enforce themselves on the game, dictate how the game is going to be played. He had an excellent game against, lets face it, a poor Fiji side when he was at lock. But with Richie out I don’t know that we have any other option. That’s a bit harsh on Skinner – he got crocked 10 minutes into Italy game so hasn’t had the opportunity to show what he can do! 15 all are relatively sleek and nippy players, all in the hands of no. Scottish Rugby is the governing body for rugby union in Scotland. Where we could be exposed (like in 2017) would be poor defensive systems, but you would like to think that Toony et al have studied this extensively and put wrongs to right. England will attack us through the middle. Ireland were thoroughly smashed and lucky that the officials…, Podcast: Episode 129 – The Lion Who Came To Tea, Scotland v Georgia, Autumn Tests 2020: Match Preview. They are not really that comfortable being adventurers against higher ranked teams or when the stakes are higher…against Italy…sure. I am pretty sure Grigg hasn’t missed a tackle this tournament and for Glasgow his defence is usually excellent, the same as Johnson. The lock will play his 148th test, which includes nine for the British and Irish Lions, to move level with retired former New Zealand captain Richie McCaw. No one else in world Rugby has his ability and ppl have yet to combat it. Jamie Ritchie is listed as injured. Nothing I have seen makes me think he is ever going to be a good international player.

Horne has over 40 caps now I have no idea where the displeasure of him comes from. Never a better time than this week to practise our “not losing” skills. Crazy biscuits. Other than that not sure Toony can rightfully be accused of favouritism this time. Ritchie is injured apparently. For the backs its 81.3 against 84.1 in favour of England. var c = document.createElement("script"); Pete Horne get vilified for one bad one despite many good games….

We do score tries at Twickenham. Read the full story on SRU site. But what is noticeable is the way in which he tackles.

Another worry is that their big ball carriers, of which there are many (Billy, Manu, Sinckler, Launchbury etc) require two man tackles which can open spaces out wide though I genuinely believe that we are putting out a defensively decent team and would like to think we will not leak tries off first phase again.

Skinner to me is a bit of a Marfo at the moment, he had one mythical good game in the autumn but hasn’t backed it up, not saying he isn’t a good player but I continue to find it odd how some players get lauded off the back of one performance whereas others eg. Big game for Grigg this weekend. Fraser Brown will do a decent job @7 if needed. Magnus Bradbury will start at 8 while Sam Skinner is tried at 6 once again. Can’t believe England have dropped Cokanasiga – as much as their other wingers are dangerous, they are a known, predictable quantity whereas he can pull off the impossible offload and make something from nothing. 16 Mar 2019 16 Mar 2019 From the section Rugby Union England's George Ford scores a converted try in the last play of the game to deny Scotland victory after they recovered from 31 …

how do we get less i have no idea. Cokanasiga in some ways doesn’t fit with England. If im Ryan Wilson i would be telling the men to get stuck into England in the tunnel before the match, settle the early game nerves before it starts & small chance to put England of there game early on! … I like him though, he kind of reminds me of a young John Barclay, a captain in the making. France geared up for the Six Nations Super Saturday in style as Antoine Dupont scored a couple of tries in a 38-21 home victory over Wales in a friendly international on Saturday. The good news is they don’t have any experience of losing at Twickenham and Jones won’t be able to pour over hours of video footage to work them out.

Why can’t we build players up? There’s been enough about this admittedly disappointing 6N to show we can turn Ireland over in the group.

Don’t think he’s played poorly for Scotland yet though in the very limited mins. Ireland overwhelmed Italy 50-17 in an empty Aviva Stadium on Saturday to bring the long-delayed 2020 Six Nations championship back. Agreed about Ritchie, and it would’ve been good to see Graham on the bench as he covers the back row and adds some ‘dawg’. (function (document, window) { He’s scored 1 try for Scotland – a try my arthritic maw could have scored. They should hate and be disgraced by losing, I would rather see some of them storming off the pitch face like thunder kicking a bin than the smiling and waving kids aloft that went down, strange, and unhealthy. Highlights of the 38-38 draw between England and Scotland at Murrayfield. Don’t forget to check out Part II of Kevin’s preview tomorrow, as well as the latest podcast episode coming soon…. Second, I haven’t just seen him play in his debut, which I agree wasn’t fair to judge him solely on. England led 31-0 after 31 minutes at Twickenham, but it took a George Ford try as time expired to salvage a draw after a stirring fightback from Scotland. })(document, window); window._taboola = window._taboola || []; GT has selected a bunch of terriers for our backs… Apart from our no. I’d say from what I’ve seen he’s a useful player who’d feature even if we didn’t have injuries. And Maitland as a full back is an issue as he has no distance on his kicks nor is really one for running it back beating two men. Let’s hope they don’t have to beg for crumbs. England and Scotland brought the curtain down on the 2019 Six Nations at Twickenham in one of the most unbelievable international Tests ever seen as they played out a … try { At the start of the campaign I thought we would lose this and since then we have got worse due to injury but worse a drop of form of key players. You’ve only seen him outside an out of position Huw Jones on his debut in front of 70,000 inflatable leek wielding nutters willing him to have to have a complete mental and physical breakdown.
