1872 CUP 2017/2018

I think the young Saffa has work to do on his basics bit he's a feisty fella. Handing off half the weeg front row there.

[Big D]

Another pish call.

[General Zod]

Brown must be done there. Worrying.

[OptimisticJock]

Fucks going on?

[Mikey Brown]

Err...

[Mikey Brown]

Call that half time I guess.

[General Zod]

Um???

Hope everyone’s ok.

[Big D]

Baws. Need to go to my father in laws now. Bugger

When are club & country going to start taking Brown's repeated head injuries seriously?

[hugh_woatmeigh]

What an overreaction from Gilchrist and McKenzie who weren't even on the receiving end of that?

Not sure why Fusaro was carded? Just a wee pat on the head...

Oh dear. Another one today?

It does feel like every game at the moment.

Dr Robson and his staff are seriously switched on when it comes to concussion and IIRC he sets the standards for Weeg and Embra to follow.

IMO it is far more likely they take Brown off earlier than they might with others rather than them ignoring a serious issue.

IIRC when he hit the deck, he didn’t even bang his head. Ref was unsighted I think - touch judge should perhaps have mentioned it, but medical staff just came in anyway, which was good to see.

Edit to add that as much as the commentators said it was decent, I thought the match was error strewn and pretty low on quality.

Not looking very good for the 6 nations. The injuries have stretched us very bare.

When’s the squad named? I’d just like to reassure myself that the replacement front row options aren’t all that bad!

[ARM]

Two committed sides but low on quality all round. Still far too many errors.

Brown might well need to take an extended break before his career is in jeopardy. Every game.

McInally, Fagerson Jr, Jonny Gray, Bill Mata and DVDM get plus marks.

I feel like he was rushed back because Glasgow had a crisis at hooker. Just my hastily concluded 2 cents.

Being unsporting. It was baiting. Agreed on the overreaction, but if you are going to act the cunt, and look for that reaction, I’d happily see that carded more often.

Those aren’t the words of a scrum-half. Are you drunk?

I agree that it's unsporting but it literally happens every other scrum. There was no need to card him. Shoving someone full pelt in the pack when you had nothing to do with said "pat" however...? That's far more serious IMO.

Sorry cat man saw this late. I take your point, still, act the cunt, get treated like a cunt. I don’t see why anyone would have sympathy for it.

And aye Woot, I was hosed when I posted that.

A late happy new year to both of you fuds.
