PortyJambo Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Stafford McDowall in at inside centre for the Ireland game, replacing Redpath who's on the bench. I'm guessing that's because he's a bigger centre and more likely to be able to stand up to the likes of Bundee Aki. Ben White, as expected, back in to start at scrum-half. Scotland: Kinghorn, Steyn, Jones, McDowall, Van Der Merwe, Russell, White; Schoeman, Turner, Z Fagerson, Gilchrist, Cummings, Christie, Darge, Dempsey. Replacements: Ashman, Sutherland, Millar-Mills, Skinner, M Fagerson, Horne, Redpath, Rowe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chance for some others to stick their hand up for inclusion in future squads though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Wales are very poor but this is history for Italy, but they'll have regrets about the France draw. 2 wins, a draw, a losing bonus vs England, lost to an exceptional Ireland. Should have been 3 wins, including 2 away. They might never top this 11 point championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The Gibson-Park offside is the sort of annoying allowed cheating. Referee tells him he is offside but then lets him play on to win the ball for Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Just holding them at bay. Only 1pt behind with hardly any 22 entries. Score maybe masks it a bit. Scotland need a lot of field position or it's curtains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
