Re: 6N starting team
Scotland 10/1 must be the best odds I've seen as an adult.

Re: 6N starting team
Last time I checked, the bookies were all over the place for the Welsh game. Some making us favourites, some making the Welsh favourites.OptimisticJock wrote:Scotland 10/1 must be the best odds I've seen as an adult.

He must mean to win the 6N. If the bookies are correct we will finish 3rd behind England and Ireland.General Zod wrote:Last time I checked, the bookies were all over the place for the Welsh game.

If we're 10/1 to beat the Welsh then I'd plough a small fortune into that!

Re: 6N starting team
It's not evidence of course but i don't see Dunbar or Turner amongst the group that gathered last night. Taylor is there, however. Not everybody would have been captured in video or photograph however... but almost all the others are accounted for.
Interesting to see Blair and Grant there - coaching development of some kind?

Blair is a part of the set up as skills coach iirc.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:It's not evidence of course but i don't see Dunbar or Turner amongst the group that gathered last night.

Re: 6N starting team
Ok, 23 for Wales:
Reid
Rambo
Welsh
Toolis
J Gray
Barclay
Watson
CdP - Wilson isn't fit.
Price
Russell
Seymour
Dunbar/Taylor
Jones
Maitland
Hogg
Turner/Lawson
Bhatti
Rae
Gilchrist/R Gray - really lacking match sharpness
Hamilton
Laidlaw
Horne
King Blairhorn
Team almost picks itself. No.8 will.be debated and maybe wing too.

I think I'd be suprised if Kinghorn is on the bench. I'd also not be suprised if Horne started. Otherwise I can't see too much controversial

Re: 6N starting team
Just seen this. Actually, I was just jumping from tournament to match odds with no contextualisation. Skybet still have wales as favourites, handicap is giving us 2 points.OptimisticJock wrote:Aye.

Re: 6N starting team
Agree with Big D’s team, although I think R Gray and Lawson will be named on the bench.
If Taylor and Dunbar fit, I still think King Blairhorn will make the bench, as Horne can cover centre/ fly-half, and Blairhorn (what is his real name again?) covers back 3 and, at something of a push at the moment, 10.

Re: RE: Re: 6N starting team
Gray has a calf injury. May be minor but couple that with his lack of games due to his back injury I'd prefer he got a couple of 60-80min games under his belt prior to coming back in. But I can see the logic to putting him in.General Zod wrote:Agree with Big D’s team, although I think R Gray and Lawson will be named on the bench.

Just saw Turner injured so I'd agree about Lawson.

SRU reporting he's missing this 3 day meet.
So now thinking about it. Gray has never been involved in a GT game planned Scotland squad and Rambo and the locks involved in the AIs had a great line out. All together with Gray only having a couple of games back before this calf problem I wouldn't pick him v Wales.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: 6N starting team
You're quite right. I could have sworn he was on the bench ahead of their last game. I've just had a look now and Toulouse only have a 7 man bench.

Re: 6N starting team
I’d also like to post that it wouldn’t surprise me if McGuigan starts over Maitland. Just a a feeling.

Re: 6N starting team
I feel like Lee Jones is still a better fit for a backline that already has plenty of pace and flair.
My big worry is 12. Taylor and Dunbar haven’t played all that much have they? Are either fully fit? Is Horne too lofhtweight?

Dan Biggar's oot for the first three matches.
Anscombe, Patchell or Williams. I think Patchell is a great player but no Tests at 10. Williams has hardly played for Glaws.

Re: 6N starting team
All very good players but Biggar is exactly the kind of fly half (behind a dominant pack) that scares me. This is good news for us.ARM wrote:Dan Biggar's oot for the first three matches.

Re: 6N starting team
There's their excuse. It will be conveniently forgotten we are down 3 international LHs, 3 international hookers and 3 international THs (even if one is Berghan).
I still back our likely starting front row bit it's mental to be down 9 international front row options.

The sweetest money will be the fiver that has spent most of the last ten years in my mate Jones' pocket but is currently in mine. Smug twat (in a friendly way). Living in England I got my Aunt to send down some Scottish money to piss him off, it is mostly selotape now.....
