BigCGilmour Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm no big rugby hand, my recollection is that prior to Cotter we couldn't break line or score and under him that changed ,we also reduced handling errors etc it seems since Townsend came in we've regressed back to pre Cotter days. It's very frustrating to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Unless Hastings and Price are replaced, then we face losing the next 3 games. They offer no leadership or structure from the most vital positions on the field, and constantly make wrong decisions. Price in particular is tactically clueless and prone to running up blind alleys, leaving the rest of the team desperately trying to understand where he is going. As a result, he is prone to turnovers and conceding penalties. There are mitigating factors 1) Townsend is a horrific coach and constantly picks the wrong team and plays the wrong tactics. 2) Referee was unbelievable bad and downright ignorant of the laws of the games. Blatant cheating. 3) Townsend is a horrific coach and constantly picks the wrong team and plays the wrong tactics. 4) Conditions were awful, just ****ing awful. 5) Townsend is a horrific coach and constantly picks the wrong team and plays the wrong tactics.

Yes and yes. We are right up there in terms of world class rolling maul, but 5 metre attacking lineout and as likely to eff it up.

The butter fingers today, I understand. It looked as though the ball would bobble itself over the line, giving us a 22 drop out. I don't know what else he could have done that would have rescued the situation. But, ultimately, he's a Billy Big Boots who's come to believe the hype about himself.

He's definitely was a Billy big baws. I've seen it and heard about it (do you know who I am chat to bouncers outside clubs etc) but he's probably calmed down a bit as he has gotten older tbf. Still, it is always about him, rather than team first. He tried to showboat that try v Ireland and made a complete arse of it. I'm sure he dropped one v England in last years 6 nations to win the game. Even at England's first penalty, he gave it away. He's a great kicker and he's fast but his handling is far too casual. There was a time when he looked like he could be one of the best Fly Half's in the World but those days look long gone. I'd have Hamish Watson as captain tbh. Leads by example, brave as a lion. Before that, I thought Stuart McInally was a great leader. No idea why he's been dropped for Frazer Brown who's line outs are shocking. Mind you, he bombed out our best player and possible captain for his mates laddie. Our pool is too small to be binning our best players. I can only think Townsend makes these decision because he's a complete arse and a control freak. A total yes man and arse licker to the head honchos at SRU. How he was still in the job before the World Cup is bewildering, when he's been an utter failure as coach over three 6 Nations and one world cup.

Either would be a better captain. On a different matter, I know he's a prop and so the bar is low but Ellis Genge is a special type of dumb, isn't he?
