Then again it is a harder opposition so they will push the rules more to not be rolled over, so 3.

>>74428251

Not that it will be an 80 minute performance, but if the only chance Scotland have to cling on to is England playing inconsistently then so be it. Also Scotland away from murrayfield are a bit shit

you're talking as if scotland have been playing lights out in all of their games.
There are areas in all three of their last games they need to improve on: ireland game we flagged badly in the second half were slipping off tackles and made some poor kicking, didn't show up for the second half besides the last 10 minutes or so. France game scrum was overpowered and we played down to france (think this is mainly down to the halfback pairing, a better approach such a the one the irish took would have won us that game but russell is still learning with his game management/kicking game) wales game we were getting beaten at the breakdown until watson came on and we were guilty of some poor kicking and other errors that let the welsh off the hook once or twice.
Have scotland put together the most complete performances of this 6nations so far? Yes.
Do we still have huge room for improvement? Definitely.
Too easy to dismiss scotland's chances if england put in an "80 minute performance" when nobody in this tournament has put one together.

i.e. They're already running pretty much at full potential. England, unquestionably, are not. Scotland may be ten points up with ten minutes to play and England WILL find another gear and they WILL win.
Don't get me wrong, this is Scotland's year: they will finish third.

Strauss is leaving Warriors and going to the Premiership. Will Scotland keep picking him when he doesn't even live there?

>>74430130
Yeah probably if he stays good enough, they do for other players like Maitland and Laidlaw.

>>74430130
Probably, but he's already 30, don't think he'll be getting many more caps

>>74430130
Why not? Glad for him and hopefully it makes him even better

>>74430130
His contract was not renewed at Glasgow so he moved on, he wasn't bought.

he was an NSQ player and is now SQ, so they want to get another NSQ to fill his place for the international window.

>>74430015
>They're already running pretty much at full potential.

No. We had rumours of his departure months ago, he's only just found a club.

He is unfortunately surplus to requirement/SRU rules at Glasgow.

>>74432517
We had rumours of his departure because he wanted to leave the pro12. I'm a glasgow fan I'm not trying to meme, it's jsut reality. He never had loyalty and still doesn't and I don't blame him for it

3-4 days of the week I enjoy and look forward to work, if I didn't enjoy my job I would retrain or move jobs or train so I can move to a job I think I would enjoy more.
I work so I can fund my hobbies and to save up so I can retire in comfort. My grandad didn't save or consider retirement until far too late and he didn't have a retirement lifestyle that I want. My parents have saved and planed for retirement and they look on track to keep their current lifestyle when they do eventually retire.

I would have said Glasgow Connacht was a big one

I think Leinster-Scarlets actually has some kind of history to it, to do with Llanelli RFC. They were talking about it on Sky Sports. There's also some kind of schools exchange program there.

I think Connacht-Glasgow is more of a rivalry. In the mid-to-late 2000s they were usually battling with Borders to stay off the bottom of the table. Glasgow started building at it before Connacht but they both climbed up the table using expansive, attacking rugby, winning a title one after the other. They had two brilliant games at the end of last year to decide who'd get to the final, and their game at the start of that season was brilliant too.

Warriors had Kellock, Connacht had Swift, Warriors have Hogg, Connacht had Henshaw. They're also both partial to pace-babby try-machine meme players with Connacht having had Carr, Healy, and Adeolokun, Warriors having Matawalu, van der Merwe and Thom Evans. Next year Glasgow's head coach will be Chiefs head coach Dave Rennie. His assistant at Chiefs, Kieran Keane, will be coaching Connacht.

I didn't mean for the post to be that long at first. Just kept noticing similarities.

>>74436949
I've just been mentioning the ones that I have felt we have played a lot in what felt like important matches since I satarted supporting them, and the big three to me where those I mentioned.

I only really got a sense for connacht glasgow last season.

I think I'm stuck in this stupid mentality whereby a club has to be successful/good to have a rivalry which patently insn't the case.

>>74441268

>>74441268
They need to bring back super 10s as a champions league format. The trouble is though, qld and nsw have way too much history as teams that a lot of people wouldn't like them being split in to any increment smaller than that wouldn't be received well, and the local club comps aren't strong enough anymore due to professionalism. If Australia had a strong local comp it would be a different story. Blame league for dodging WWII I guess.

The problem is that NZ teams are way above everyone else. If all three big countries had equally competitive teams, you could make them play two-legged season in a AUS-NZ pool for 18 regular season games, of which the best 4 would continue to play-offs against ARG-SA pool winners. In this format NZ would butcher all aussie teams in years to come, the current format is protecting non-NZ teams from italianization, eg. making a habit of losing continuously.

The bestest format to internationalize the competition would be two pools of 10, of which the best four advance to play-offs, this is if other countries would catch-up with NZ teams.

I'd love to see an African pool with 5 SA teams, 2 argie teams, Perth and a French team based on the island of La Réunion. Pacific pool could include all kiwi teams, the remaining four aussie teams and an islander selection based in Suva, Fiji. Sunwolves ought to be trashed, honestly.

20 teams format: 5 from NZ, 5 from AU, 5 from ZA, 5 from AR
24 teams format: six teams instead of five in each conference

>tfw no surfing in Réunion because of sharks

>>74441861
Yeah I know, but why would you base a team there. Do the locals care about rugby at all? Wouldn't they just play in France for shitloads more.

>>74441843
Argies don't have the player pool let alone money for that. They might get a second team by the RWC 2019.

if they're shia and acknowledge that Ali was the true heir to the prophet (PBOH) then its fine by me m8

I was actually staying in France last weekend and it seemed to me that the French people were bizarrely convinced of a victory in Dublin before the game. I watched it in a bar as the only Irishman. They were all laughing their backsides off for 20 mins then silence followed by whinging followed by a quiet peeved departure. The French are serial moaners and and are incapable of apology or acceptance of failure. They are old fashioned and stuck in their miserable ways. The proof is last summer when the country was in a state of depression with transport strikes ( a lot less frequent in our airports and train stations ) and terrorist attacks until the Euros and the Irish arrived to bolster the competition and received much praise for helping make the tournament great. So surely we are better candidates for hosting the 2023 world cup?

Ireland is smaller thus easier to get from stadium to stadium. The atmosphere is immeasurably friendlier and more fun ( at their own admission ) and we are a lot less likely to have bombs or horrific strikes to ruin it all. Plus we are a higher ranked better team that have never hosted the World Cup before. It's our time. France is a beautiful country but as for the French people..

>>74442336
You have 3 stadiums with a capacity above 25k (seated)

>>74442336
>>74442372
Was it in Paris? Having lived in Paris I agree it's a shithole people-wise. Centre-Southern people are much nicer. I also agree that Ireland should host the RWC as France has organized a shitton of events like the Euro cup, Handball WC etc. But you need at least 3 stadiums over 50 000 and other 3 over 30 000 minimum. France has 14 stadiums of a capacity over 30 000.

That dickhead Steve Tew is a fucking cancer to Super Rugby. Prick wants to make it bigger too.

>>74442495
Standing terraces can be the solution

>>74443135
Can see that idea being grand slammed

>>74443135
No, RWC regulations oblige seating seats. The main reason for bad capacity of Irish stadiums is that their official capacity is 1 000 000 when standing places are counted in, and Poor-tatolanders actually are content that way

They aren't even represented on the Union Flag and it is their flag.

At least the union jack being on our flag makes sense as we are a part of the United Kingdom.

>>74445491
Wales are a principality of England so are technically counted under our flag. So yes they are BTFO.

What do you mean lad? This may surprise you but us Kiwis are mere mortals so all die eventually

>>74451082
Recently off the top of my head Jonah but he was a rugby ambassador for the world not just NZ rugby so I don't think he would count.

>>74451202
Jerry Collins died a few years ago. He was the bloke who played 6 before Kaino if you remember, dunno if you'd call him someone of note though

>>74451375
I do remember him, I would say he was of note but not really the same tier our Aussie friend is talking about. Though as a Hurricanes supporter I think he matters.

Sione Lauaki passed away the other day if you remember. He wasn't really a person of note either though.

Majority of the All Blacks greats or legends I think about are all still alive and kicking. If I asked my dad I'm sure he would rattle off a list but they aren't really of note to me or most posters in these threads.

>>74456215

That they do, some impressive results over the years, of that there is no doubt. Play the teams on their merits and you'll come to the correct conclusions.

>>74456215
I considered tipping the force but I can't think of a single position on the field where the reds don't have them crushed.

If the force had McCalmann and Hodgson I think that would nudge them ahead, but as is they are weaker in every position. They only lead in is number of dads, 23 - 24.

>>74456215
>the reds got refballed to a win last week

In what sense? The reds spent 15 minutes down a man, left about 10 points on the field from poor kicking and otherwise completely dominated the sharks in run meters. I was at the game so I can't say that I saw everything on the telecast, but nothing sticks in my mind as even vaguely controversial.

>>74456456

I just put that bit in to bait you kek. Even though the Reds looked good I'm sticking with my gut and tipping the Force.

>>74456209
fuck up faggot

>>74456507
Yeah can't blame you. Reds are serial underperformers against good teams. A lot like the highlanders used to be, incredibly adept at playing beneath themselves. Still think they'll win though, sharks are good preparation for the force.

>>74456529
When i said good teams I obviously meant bad teams. Reds typically play better against good teams than bad teams.
