Duncan Blackheart Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Am looking forward to Price starting (hopefully not the out-of-sorts pyrgos). I think it'll give Toonie greater options, as he'll then have a scrum-half with a bit more international experience than he might have expected. Looking forward to the wales game - just hope that price and Russell don't decide to jettison pragmatism totally out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're potentially going to be missing Dickinson, Nel, Sutherland, Strauss, Barclay, Laidlaw, Dunbar, Maitland, Hardie, Taylor. All of those would be in the 23, at least seven in the XV. However the Welsh are still there for the taking. The talent is there, but the mentality is fragile. Edited February 18, 2017 by biffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be out the blocks like we were in the Ireland game. Really want to beat these fvckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a whiff of entitlement that is surpassed only by England. Speaking as someone who has been watching Scotland lose in Cardiff every two years since I was 16.

Duncan Blackheart Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yeah, me too. Oh well. Anyway - surely Barclay captain and J Gray vice. Pyrgos bench, even if he's been a bit crap of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf_1980 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Any suggestions for a decent pub in Glasgow city centre that will be showing the game and where I can book a table? Normally I stand and watch it in the Rhoderick Dhu but my pregnant wife will be with me this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Magic stuff this by Scotland. By that I mean to be in this position (leading 26-13) with so many key players out injured. Great effort. 12 minutes to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Considering the key players we had out and how we turned it around was just great. We showed invention to get key tries and key times too. Fabulous win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 That was impressive stuff. Seen the first 30 minutes and thought we were fortunate to still be in the game - same old. Lacey had a very decent game too, was a bit worried about him at the start. Second half was excellent and blew the old 'glorious failure' cobwebs out of the water. England will be tough, but let's see if we can finally get a win there now we've beaten the Welsh for the first time in 10 years - unbelievable that.
