Boaby Ewing Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 If Italy manage to win will Scotland get the wooden spoon. If they win by more than four. So a penalty isn't enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 It completely baffles me how a country with 5m people in ti can't find someone who can run quickly and carry a ball at the same time. The Scotland backs of the last few years have all been stunningly slow with the exception of Chris Paterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 This has been Scotlands best performance of the 6 nations so far, they are much more lively than any of their other games played.

Italy are not the whipping boys they used to be, they should have won in Ireland, shoud have beaten England and gave France a fright in Paris, the only gubbing they got was in Wales, who IMO are the best team in the 6 nations.

conn artist Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 surely, the end of the road for haddon, he just cant get any kind of dynamic play out that team and there is talent there. time for andy robinson to step into the role. hopefully he can do for scotland what he has done for edinburgh.

Of course last weeks game counted for something Jools, there was a trophy at stake (the calcutta cup) which is now in the hands of the good guys, and of course bragging rights over the auld enemy for 12 months until we get our erses felt at Twickers next year, I reckon that counts for quite a lot bud.

Cade Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Rugby in Scotland is dead. The professional game basically doesn't exist up here anymore. Melrose 7s is the only decent rugby available to watch in this country, and that's a one-a-year event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby Ewing Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Cipriani had a fantastic game, but the commentator should really get his spaver out his hand - they've picked another golden boy to build their dreams around, thus ensuring they never amount to very much once again.

Denny Crane Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 John its Italy though. They are meant to be the weakest link in the six nations. So weak that the number of professional clubs and professional players dwarfs what Scotland have at their disposal. Plus the various local governments in Italy are more proactive in helping the clubs in terms structuring the facilities there and indeed, improve upon them. Also, unlike our councils, the ones in Italy do more to make the game more accessable to kids with the aim being to ensure that one day their national team - and their clubs - can compete at a higher level in both the Six Nations and the Heineken Cup. There will come a time in years to come when Italy will seriously challenge for the Six Nations. They have the infrastructure to do this. Granted they have only been able to rack up the occasional win but France suffered a few bloody noses when they first joined the then Five Nations before establishing itself as a major player. Scotland has punched above its weight for a long while. Those of my age were somewhat spoiled as the national side embarked on its best era as we were all being introduced to this great game. Granted the SRU has a major task on its hands to ensure that we can get back to that level but those older than myself are not too surprised as to oour current predicament. Before the 1980s, they were accustomed to our national side treading water and inflicting the odd surprise on the likes of Wales, France & England. Throwaway comments such as the one you've made do not even begin to scratch the surface on the state of rugby in either Scotland or Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Rugby in Scotland is dead. The professional game basically doesn't exist up here anymore. Melrose 7s is the only decent rugby available to watch in this country, and that's a one-a-year event. Melrose 7's is a money making showcase event Cade, nothing more, nothing less! You really cant compare 7's rugby to 15 aside rugby and I'll give you an example why. In the early 90's the first 7's world cup was scheduled to be played at Murrayfield, and in preparation England warmed up for this at the Selkirk 7's. They easily battled their way through to the semi finals where they met a rampant Gala side, a Gala side who at the 7's level had won almost every tournament before them for 3 years solid! The game was tied at the end of the normal period (I think it was 12-12) and extra time was to be played, Gala were awarded a penalty and the small town of 16000 people had beaten a nation of 50 million! England then went on to lift the 7's world cup at Murrayfield, beating the all blacks and fijians on the way, however they couldnt beat a Gala side at 7's only 3 weeks before! If Gala had played England at 15 a side rugby, the result would have been a massive landslide in Englands favour, hence thev reason why I say you cant compare 7's to normal rugby.
