I’d argue the scotland NZ game had some amazing quality of rugby played. In person it was a very exciting close game that had everything. Not dismissing the S.A. game. But it was up there.

My main surprise is no max williamson. The s he injured ?

When’s the pod coming back on ?

Some of the decisions and his Reasoning are baffling. And the maul has been a disgrace.

Agree with nearly all of it as usual mate. But I thought aki had a poor game. Tuipulotu’s defence is soo overlooked. Aki was awful rushing up leaving dog legs. And he rushed out of defensive line ineffectively several times I saw. Plus didn’t see anything special in contact.

Loved it. He’s been class all game awsome and huwipukotunaswell. Sione doing so many aid deft touches that are so easily overlooked.

Fair point
Ps watched the surfer recently with nic cage ?
Was wierd arty and good mid low budget film ? I thought it was good.
But I see your point.

Yup I thing ringside has had an average tour so far a couple of breaks that Huw wuu on love done just as well or dare I say it better but in defence he’s been poor. Thioulotu is doing subtle unseen work that’s creating structure. He was coming ina t first receiver four times in a row in one part

I’ve not watched the games. He do we explain that loss then ?

I’m outsourcing has never saved money in any industry ever. Like ever.

Mid budget movies do still exist. They’re just hidden.

Can’t find the picture but Owen Farrell face immediately after fin Russell’s interception in the wild 38-38 game

Both of these would’ve been mine priceless.

Agree re curry. His best games seem to be against weak national sides. And itoge. I don’t understand how highly he’s rated. I think he’s a really good player but not lions captain best in his position level. I’d take any Irishman in the second row over him. For the record he is good but captain?

I really don’t fully understand how Munster started having this remodels beef with Glasgow and created it. All we did was rise to it and meet it. But Munster really hate Glasgow for some wierd reason. Persecution complex. 😏😉

a man in a military uniform is asking are we the baddies . ALT: a man in a military uniform is asking are we the baddies .

Or more likely when they think everyone’s else is the bad guys.

“We need characters in the game”. “Oh don’t tease him in a fun characterful way how shameful. No we meant our characters are fine, yours aren’t they should leave ours alone”

Also if you are going to act so arrogant with a ridiculous celebration and act like a posh public school entitled so and so (he’s an awsome prospect and could be an amazing player and in person probably isn’t this ) you’re going to have to take it back. Everyone moaning bout bordeux are hypocrites

My HIR. All the fuss criticising Bordeaux for mimicking pollock neck celebration. Saying they were rattled by him. A They clearly weren’t as they won. B. Pollock instigated a number of fights with them and one very minor one after the game.

Jonny what’s your take on the game. I thought Glasgow matched them and Leinster were lucky not to get a couple of yellows and the scrum that led to their first try was baffling. If you remove that try. It would’ve been a very even game. And sione and Huw jones were awsome.

What is happening to Glasgow since the six nations. They’ve fallen off a cliff and look like an unrecognisable team ?

Purely glasgows injuries. And their recent performances. Have been very not like Glasgow of late.

My main HITR is the English media calling to separate fans into home and away. That’s part of the magic of rugby. Mixed fans all having banter and chatting.

The stories about his personality and bullying treatment of younger players make me feel my opinion based on his on pitch whining and attitude correct. Hence my lack of respect for him.

I cannot communicate in words that are Polite my dislike and lack of respect for sexton. He’s a good player who’s vastly been overrated by being behind the best northern hemisphere pack consistently for many years. put anyone else behind the Ireland pack and centres he had and they’d do good

Everyone in England; "HRH Freddie 'Air Steward' Steward, The Sky Prince, is the greatest person ever to catch a rugby ball from a kick"

5 foot 9 Jamie Dobie, a scrum half starting on the wing; "is he aye?"

I can’t seem to get the Patreon podcast anywhere. Is it uploaded yet ?

Well jumping over the tackler is not allowed for good reason studs to the face of the tackler or knee to his head. Also the jumper may flip head over heel and land on his head
It’s a good law for a reason crap as would’ve been a good try But also unnecessary that he jumped as could’ve sidestepped

@scotrugbypod.bsky.social

Interesting the great amazing Ben earl missing 10 tackles is pretty awful stats for a supposed lions starter. Also fin Russell can’t defend remember.
Ps Marcus smith not int he table as you have to attempt a tackle to miss one. lol

My hands in the ruck is people saying “we can’t blame the ref. We should’ve done better”. We absolutely can blame the ref. He gave a try that wasn’t a try and at least three penalties the other way that were baffling. That’s a huge influence on a 1 point game. When we scored three tries.

My favourite refereeing call was awarding itoge a turn over for jumping over the top of a ruck literately only supporting his weight with a handstand to then get the ball. Baffling
