He had a good game apart from that, though.

Re: -20s World Cup
I wouldn't rule it out, but it was a pretty risky strategy if it was. why not just hold them back at the 10m rather than potentially facing a rolling maul 5m out?whatisthejava wrote:Im not suggesting this is what happened but do you not think that it may well have been strategy, get them at edge of the range and then either force a long kick or a lineout, the italian lineout was a disaster at the endStones of granite wrote:Game is in the last few seconds, Scotland lead by 1 point, Italy have the ball and are tackled to form a ruck on the Scots' 10m, Kinghorn piles through the Ruck and wipes out the Italian scrum-half.

Re: -20s World Cup
Another try for the good guys
The welsh try was an interception but they were on our line just before and conceeded a soft penalty

TMO checking to see if the scots scored right before half time
No try and he ignored a collapse
19 - 12 40 to play

every time i look , we look in control but we have not scored this half

Re: -20s World Cup
Could Edinburgh not poach Conor Eastgate from Wasps? He's behind Gopperth and Cips... a lot harder to break into that team than one that contains Tovey and Weir!
