You're assuming he's not written it already....

Ah... Suspect Franco will be not repeating it again, shows our training doesn't help anyone

Not sure on that Joyce card. Afshar is moving away, spills the ball and comes back in attempt to regain ball. Was Joyce expecting to even make the tackle? #URC

Maybe it would have been easier to align the horizon to the line then.... 🐢

Edinburgh can best be explained in 2 mins last night - being so annoyed by Scarlets try, we shoved them off pitch at restart. And to kill that momentum we'd just created dead we then make a mess of the lineout.
It's like being on a roller coaster forever, the ups and downs just get boring eventually

The shirt France will wear for the Six Nations clash against England to mark the 120th anniversary (almost to the day) of the first match between the two sides.

I assume the concrete table tennis table is still there also?

Scarlets have won once away I believe this season, and that was just along road. As @huwgriffinrugby.bsky.social will confirm, that was not a strong team out. Yet we struggled throughout. Individually and collectively not good enough to be serious team. But it's fine, new Assistants will sort it....

Yes, but you can't tell me that performance was acceptable? Particularly as it wasn't a one off....

It was called a must win game, and a bonus point was needed, so it was absolute minimum we could accept

We are playing like a team just waiting for the season to end. Unfortunately we've been doing that all season.

Honestly, I don't know what our gameplan is. We pass it around for a bit, then get bored and kick it, often to surprise of our own team. We tried one move the whole game. Or rather we tried several moves at the same time, no one was where they should be and we decided we should not bother again.

Edinburgh’s decision to kick the ball dead at full time, when they have a pen about 10m from Scarletts line and any points would deny Scarletts a LBP, tells you all you need to know about this teams’ mentality at the moment.

Personally getting quieter at games, just not seeing anything positive that causes me to get vocal. And fed up moaning.
Most Edinburgh thing last night-they score try Maggie was arguing about, we bundle them into touch at restart through pure rage. We arse up lineout. Us to a tee.

Here's hoping that training session benefitted Glasgow more than it did us!

I'd agree if you had also said the cup has a hole in it that the shop refuse to replace, yet you still buy it...

So both easily practiced with a ball, a hooker, a jumper and support or two and a corner of the training pitch....
Yet we show no sign of improvement here. I just don't get it.

We had 14 point turnaround off that bounce that eventually fell into Harry's hands and for a fleeting moment we looked like a team.
We then had a chargedown that could have been missed or bounced anywhere. Different outcomes there could have easily happened, fortune fell our way.
Lucky this time

Individually and collectively they are just not improving, despite some glaring and repeating issues. These show no sign of being worked on between games.
And if I was a back up 9 or 10 I'd want to understand how I'm not getting more of a go.

🎯

There is no excuse for it. Can't blame return of Rae and Maggie for upheaval, squad was stable. Lineout shambles again. Kicking to touch poor. Moves in backline absent. They look potent on unstructured counter attack, that's it. What do they do in training?
Not good enough for professional outfit

Watching Edinburgh of late is bad for my health. Feels like every game I go in with lower expectations than one before, and yet they still fail to meet them.
I have mates I tend to only see at Hive, why oh why does it feel like team is group of individuals that see no more of each other than we do?

Very fair. That backline was our likely lineup since last match. Any chat of disruption from players (checks notes prop and 8) being returned from Scotland is a lie.
That was appalling, ultimately won by Harry P luckily being in right place on two occasions. Bounce of ball in particular, fluke.

Funny bit is Sharks have nicked our attack coach for next season.... 🀯

I've met strangers in the pub pre-match that I've managed to form more of a connection with than our backline has managed in months/years of playing together.. Awful

It's just before Acheninver Youth Hostel car park, where I parked. For Fiddler I've parked way further along road, past Culnacraig iirc.

For Cul Beag I've always parked at Stac Pollaidh and went along road, but I recall there's a spot nearer that isn't just a passing place.
