Re: Italy v Scotland
And another Price mistake when we were making yards and hitting them back 5m out from the line.

You cannot have someone as unreliable as that at 9. They touch the ball more than anyone. Statistics say they'll make more mistakes. Horne is the better player and has been for a while. I even though Horne's introduction into the Glasgow ranks was too slow.

Re: Italy v Scotland
Sutherland, McInally, Watson, Johnson, Hogg good. Price crap. Hastings patchy. Harris not really involved.
Bradbury continues to carry directly at defenders rather than at gaps or weak shoulders. He’s really handy to have as a brute force carrier but this is why I really don’t think he’s smart enough with the ball to be an 8.
Nothing too surprising in there.
The number of times McInally is the first chaser is incredible. His work rate is mad. Making some good gains in attack and appears to basically still be captain.

Re: RE: Re: Italy v Scotland
Disagree with hugh. We had a game plan previously even if it was ridiculously high risk and low percentage. Now it's paint by the numbers and hope hoggy can do something cool. Thing is he's done it twice in this half now and we scored once.Donny osmond wrote:The one and only plan it's possible to discern from us these days is to rely on individual brilliance.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:World class from Hoggy.
I know this won't be popular but world class antics from Hoggy, Russell, etc do not make up for the lack of an effective game-plan.

Re: Italy v Scotland
Hastings missed one but he and Harris are involved in a lot of the defensive stuff. They've effectively held the italian's up and slowed their ball down on at least a couple of occasions. A couple of good kicks from Hastings as well - one over the top and one through the line, both could have been tries on another day.Mikey Brown wrote:Sutherland, McInally, Watson, Johnson, Hogg good.

Re: Italy v Scotland
Have got the feeling we should be a bit further ahead after that. Hopefully it won’t come back to bite us.
Agree Bradbury not at his best.
Scramble defence good, and both props playing well. Harris done a few good things in defence. Oh, and Hogg’s finish was awesome!
Hopefully, more of the same but with more points. Get yer boots on, Adam!

Good game. Lot's of running rugby. Surprisingly low score, really.

I really like how Hastings is developing. Still makes mistakes but, and he's very much swimming against the tide in Scottish rugby here, he does seem to learn from his mistakes.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Re: RE: Re: Italy v Scotland
I'll take your word for it, I don't watch enough rugby to comment other than to say he's one of those players for whom I don't really get the hype, but that may be just as I haven't watched enough of him.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:He's either world class or anonymous.Donny osmond wrote:Also been pretty unimpressed with Bradbury today.

Re: RE: Re: Italy v Scotland
No I have seen Bradbury put in shifts that have made me think he could be world class. They're not always 80 minute shifts though...Donny osmond wrote:I'll take your word for it, I don't watch enough rugby to comment other than to say he's one of those players for whom I don't really get the hype, but that may be just as I haven't watched enough of him.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:He's either world class or anonymous.Donny osmond wrote:Also been pretty unimpressed with Bradbury today.

At his peak he's the closest thing to a Billy V we'll have in this generation. But given he's not even close to a Billy V at his peak & he's anonymous half the games he plays... I'd rather have Fagerson on the pitch.

Wow. I don't know what to say about that. Bradbury probably shouldn't have given that pop pass - Ritchie was looking to secure the ball rather than running a support line.
F*cking hell. What a waste.

I wish we'd seen an angle of that that actually showed when the tackle was made.

The whole theme of meaningful visits to the 22 & very little points to show for it is running it's course again.

Planned substitutions 3 minutes into the second half is a bit... weird?

Simple powerful run at a gap from Harris.
Good try - created by that hard work from the forwards though.
