The way the scrums had been going though, Italy could easily have got a penalty at the scrum instead of us. Fine margins. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 This has been the best team for a while, at least we're no longer wooden spoon favourites with Italy anymore. What worries me however is how dependent we are on overseas talent and how frequently our junior teams get beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely rely on overseas talent or the grand parent/parent rule. It's a tough one because we don't have the massive pool of players available like other nations and we only have 3 professional sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had some outstanding fullbacks over the years and he must be right up there. He has been a fantastic servant for Scottish rugby and will be a very hard act to follow.

That's another own goal they've scored in the last week Must admit - I do like the rugby World Cup tops. They look class without the sponsor and the WC embroidery on but £82 isn’t cheap. I’ll maybe see if they still have my sizes when they go on sale after the tourney. I don’t think I’ve bought a full price Rugby top ever tbh despite having 4 or 5 now from over the years.
