Cool, I'll show you my gay friend. That'll prove I'm not homophobic.

Nope. Rush defense. Strategy since Cotter has been strong central defense to open up opportunities for interceptions out wide. Seymour, Lamont, Maitland and Visser are all good players in that regard, and if there was a World XV of intercepts, Seymour would be Captain, Coach and president...

Aren't Heiberg and Fa'agase part of the Force and Reds squads respectively, for both '15 and '16? Otherwise it's a pretty good squad.

It was supposedly after he completed that, since he's only got a 1 season deal. But whatever will be will be.

There was rumour Hegarty was on his way to you guys at some point. If that was true, he'd help support the inexperienced half. Play him at fullback with KHunt at 13 and you shouldn't have problems getting the ball out to Kuridrani, Kerevi, CFS etc.

Yeah, but it's because we've got 6 injuries, 17 still with Scotland World Cup squad and another 4 still in the mandatory stand down period. We would've probably liked to give him another week or two beforehand if possible. It'll be a bad bad game.

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of issues with the English side. But switch them with any other second seed and they make the quarters. They're in that block of the top 4 six nations sides and Argentina that's behind the Bokke, Wobblies and Blecks, but ahead of us, the Italians, the Japanese...

We'll not be too far from full strength. Issue is we're missing 2 of our best 3 locks, 2 of our best 3 hookers, and our best inside center. That makes the entire team weaker, whereas I feel that if it were more spread, we'd have a better chance, as long as it wasn't Nel or Russell.

Hines was a massive knob on field, but I've never seen him be anything but classy and intelligent off it. It's not a biased result in any way, just one I don't particularly like. The insinuation that it is otherwise is a bit naff.

Ha. I'm looking through that list and saying, holy shit, no Who? But it's Ireland, not UK, so it's cool.

Fraser is ahead of McInally in terms of hooker stocks BH. McInally was getting the bench spot prior to the WC because both Browny and Ford are 80 minute players, and McInally was an international Blindside before switching to Hooker in 2013. He split his time between hooker and blindside about...

If we pull a ridiculous upset it would be better. If we don't, having Jonny and Ross playing for Glasgow and Edinburgh sooner will be better, especially for Edinburgh, as we should be ok with Peterson and Naka available after this week.

Anyway, thank God we've not got Barnes. He's a good ref, but always has "poor" games with us,

The worst bit about it that we've already lost a lock and a hooker. A halfback, a winger, a backrower, a loosehead, that would have been fine. But having lost McInally a week before the tournament and Gilchrist after the first 2 games, the suspensions really hurt.

The SRU report sounds like we may appeal. Not a terrible course of action.

Them being suspended, fair enough, ugly incident. 3 weeks though, means that in the event we make the final (albeit the fact it's ridiculously unlikely), they won't even be able to play in that.

Well, you guys went from about 96% to 99%

French would think the comp is too long. With the likely expansion of the Aviva Prem imminent, they would probably think so too.

We'll know in a couple of hours.
