U20s Six Nations

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Doak v JVP will be a fun match up today

 

[irisht]

scotland losing 15-3 to italy..

 

[Groundhog]

Italians just look way physically stronger than the Scots

 

[irisht]

Italy been impressive.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Scotland are frankly embarrassing here

 

[irisht]

40-3.

 

[Groundhog]

Have Italy ever in the history of this comp run up a score like this?

 

[Reiser99]

So does this result reflect more on Scotland doing badly or Italy doing well or a combination of both?

Anyway looks like the rest of the world need to get set for Scotland to come raiding for a good few more years. Maybe have a check box for "do you have a scottish granny?" when registering players so they know who Scotland might target.

They say it is a young U20 contingent but if in a few years they haven't really improved, Scotland could well be looking at an almost farcical level of trying to cap anyone and everyone with whatever link to Scotland they can.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Scotland U20's generally tends to mean more looking for 1 or 2 players who could step up.
For example this year it will be mainly former Tigers Academy and England U18 player Ben Muncaster and his fellow backrower for Sale academy player Leatherbarrow

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Think we've got three lads in the Scots this year:
Leatherbarrow, Gourlay and Redpath Jr.Jr.

 

[Reiser99]

See I think landing is irrelevant there. The Welsh player has no idea how he will land. It should based on the offence, not whether he lands badly. He's a lucky boy that Maxwell-Keys argued that. I think he should be off.

 

[Groundhog]

If we win it will be because there's a Munster captain. If we lose it will be because only one Munster lad is starting. Schroedingers Tribalism.

Edit: did the commentator just say that big South African mfer is 6"8???

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

If you're going to take that long getting the ball out of the ruck just to kick it, you really have to do a better job than England 9 is doing.

 

[Groundhog]

English look v powerful but nervous

It's ridiculous he's allowed to play
Bristol sent scouts to craven week in South Africa to sign players to their academy then they just waltz into the England set up

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

That was dropped before the line, England got away with that.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

If we sort our discipline out this game is there for the taking. England don't look like creating much.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Admitting that Israel Folau is your favourite player, in this day and age, is....pretty sus

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Actually never mind, we're less creative.
