Re: 2024 Summer Internationals
So depressing that we're playing Canada today. Watching Australia - Wales and think we could easily handle either team but we're now minnows. Can't think when we'll ever get a proper summer tour again.

Re: 2024 Summer Internationals
We seem to have got a grip now. I have no idea how these tours are arranged and what say coaches have in ‘development’ tours vs full test against the big boys, but what makes you say we won’t get a proper tour again?switchskier wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 12:48 pm So depressing that we're playing Canada today.

I feel like this may be a good thing long term, not that I’d want to see tours against this level of opposition frequently. I’d like more of the top sides to take a game or two against these sides each summer.

Re: 2024 Summer Internationals
Canada weren’t much competition in the end. But a good way to cap some new players. Need to right the wrong against the USA next week.
Paterson had a great game. Warr, Reed, Thompson, and Richardson put in good performances too. Dobie, Bayliss, Williamson and McDowell also deserve a mention. Not convinced by Young, doesn’t seem dynamic enough. More experienced players didn’t get out of 2nd gear really.
First tour after a WC seems like a good time to play some tier 2/3 teams, have a look at some new players, find some depth in key positions and then over the next 2/3 years play more tier 1 nations.
Comparing the Glasgow players on the team to the Edinburgh players and they just seemed fitter and more switched on. There’s clearly an issue there.

I understand the thinking, that we should be testing ourselves against the best, but to me it's upside down thinking.switchskier wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 12:48 pm So depressing that we're playing Canada today.

There's a lot to be said for development games against the teams were facing on this tour; we've blooded young guys in a test environment; they've started their personal development from club/youth players to intl level; GT has been able to develop and evolve his team and tactics without the pressures of result over performance; winning is a habit, even against lower ranked teams it still counts in the group and individual psychology.
Just look at how the women's team used their run on victories in last years intl league to develop and get closer to the big teams in terms of both individual and team performance. Getting humped by NZ/SA might be useful in some respects but you pay a big coin for those marginal benefits. Building a winning team, even if it's against lower ranked opposition, brings real tangible benefits
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: 2024 Summer Internationals
While I get that I don't think that Canada are good enough to have learnt anything. That was a lower standard than all of these players face week in, week out. A old fashioned A's versus B's training match would have been more valuable (and brought in more revenue).Donny osmond wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 8:35 amI understand the thinking, that we should be testing ourselves against the best, but to me it's upside down thinking.switchskier wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 12:48 pm So depressing that we're playing Canada today.

We are the only, theoretically, Tier 1 team that tours the Americas. The other teams think that it's beneath them. We're the only ones risking losing ranking points with no prospect of gaining them.
I'm not saying that we deserve to tour SA: Ireland have earned that right. But we could have blooded almost as many players against a new Australia team. Instead Wales, who we have beat handily a few times now get that tour because they believe that they deserve it. Instead we rank ourselves alongside (a finally improving) Italy who are becoming only the second team to go to the PIs this summer.

Re: 2024 Summer Internationals
Yeah. I feel like this tour putting us on the level of these opponents is really oversimplifying it. I imagine a lot of the off-field stuff is just as important with this tour.
We have some really good players and some great elements to our game, but also some things fundamentally missing if we want to consistently compete with better sides. Identifying even a couple of players that can fill the void of Hogg, Russell etc. would be worth it, while letting a lot of the senior guys have a break after a World Cup.
With world rankings and World Cup cycles being endlessly important (sometimes annoyingly so) a tour like this is a good opportunity to look at a whole bunch of newer faces and see how they operate in the international setup. Are Scotland A games even still a thing?

2023 - Italy, France (x2), Georgia (pre RWC)
2022 - Argentina (x2), Chile

2020 - Canada, USA, Uraguay, Chile

2018 - Canada, USA, Argentina
2017 - Italy, Australia, Fiji

2014 - Argentina, Canada, South Africa, USA
Don't think we'll ever get to tour NZ or SA again but it's always a bit sad to be reminded that we're second tier.

Re: 2024 Summer Internationals
When you see it laid out like that it's hard not to see a pattern right enough.
I still maintain it's not necessarily a bad tour to be on, but i can totally see where you're coming from

Am I going mad or did Simon Webster become the first player to score against all of NZ, SA, Aus in a season? That feels like a stupid fact I’ve retained. Must have been around 2005-2010 that we played them all.
Though thinking about it that would more likely be the Autumn internationals at Murrayfield, if it’s even half way accurate.

Re: 2024 Summer Internationals
Very interesting side for USA. Rowe, Hastings, Ashman, Walker, Craig getting a run in what is pretty much a first XV otherwise.
Scotland team to face USA at Audi Field, Washington D.C., in the Skyscanner Americas tour on Friday 12 July, kick-off 11:30pm (BST)– live on TNT Sports 1 (caps in brackets):
15. Kyle Rowe – Glasgow Warriors (4)
14. Kyle Steyn – Vice-Captain – Glasgow Warriors (20)
13. Huw Jones – Glasgow Warriors (48)
12. Sione Tuipulotu – Co-Captain – Glasgow Warriors (25)
11. Duhan van der Merwe – Edinburgh Rugby (39)
10. Adam Hastings – Glasgow Warriors (27)
9. George Horne – Glasgow Warriors (30)
1. Pierre Schoeman – Edinburgh Rugby (31)
2. Ewan Ashman – Edinburgh Rugby (17)
3. Murphy Walker – Glasgow Warriors (3)
4. Alex Craig – Scarlets (2)
5. Scott Cummings – Glasgow Warriors (38)
6. Jamie Ritchie – Vice-Captain – Edinburgh Rugby (49)
7. Rory Darge – Co-Captain – Glasgow Warriors (19)
8. Matt Fagerson – Glasgow Warriors (45)
Replacements
16. Robbie Smith – Northampton Saints (1)
17. Rory Sutherland – Glasgow Warriors (31)
18. Elliot Millar Mills – Northampton Saints (4)

20. Luke Crosbie – Edinburgh Rugby (9)
21. Jamie Dobie – Glasgow Warriors (3)
22. Ross Thompson – Edinburgh Rugby (4)
23. Matt Currie – Edinburgh Rugby (1)
You definitely get the sense they need to right the wrongs of the last time out. Fagerson in particular I remember had a horrible game. It might have been his first cap actually

Re: 2024 Summer Internationals
IIRC it was Fagerson’s first cap and when he dropped a catch he was berated for it by Hogg. Cuntish behaviour by Hogg.

Oof. Didn’t remember that part. I think that was Hogg’s first game as captain too.
It will be interesting seeing what position Scotland need to be in to use the bench. It’s a very experienced starting team but that bench is a bit of a funny one.
I’d love to see Dobie and Currie get some proper time.

Co-captains and co-vice captains is taking it too far. It just isn't necessary.

Should be noted you are missing the cancelled tour in 2020 to SA (two tests) and NZ (one test). Since COVID we have had two summers really where we could tour, 2022 and 2024. Entirely reasonable to have a tour this year that allows us to both rest some and test some players given the RWC year and likely Lions ahead for some.

Comfortable win. Weather made playing difficult for both teams. Righted the wrong of 6 years ago. VdM levels Hogg’s try tally. Not much else to take from that one. Some international minutes in the bank for some of the newbies.

Re: 2024 Summer Internationals
Now that we've all come down from the elation of that win, does anybody still have any interest in these games v Chile and Uruguay? I would guess most of the first team guys from the USA game will be split across two A sides, rather than the complete change we saw between Canada/USA. We do have to battle on without Glen Young though, so maybe we shouldn't be taking this too lightly.
I was interested to see Rowe, Hastings, Ashman, Walker, Craig get a run vs USA but I have no idea how much can really be learned from the results. I think the most we can hope for is it helps some new guys bed in to the squad and get settled to fight for a place in the Autumn squad. That's Fiji, SA, Portugal, Aus by the way.
I guess we'll see a start for Healy and Fagerson/Steyn actually given a rest. Exciting stuff.

McCann, Smith, Miller-Mills and Thompson join Young on the plane home - TBH Young will be the one least missed. Afshar, Carmichael and Richardson join the squad (as planned) but won't play barring injuries
