Scotland lose injured Dunbar for June tour

By Peter Hanson

24 May 2018

Alex Dunbar in action for Scotland

Alex Dunbar has been ruled out of Scotland’s June matches against Canada, the United States and Argentina with a hamstring injury.

The centre picked up the problem while training with Glasgow Warriors and was sent for tests, which confirmed he would miss his country’s fixtures next month.

Mark Bennett, who has not featured for Scotland since the 61-21 Calcutta Cup drubbing to England in the 2017 Six Nations, has been called up as Dunbar’s replacement.

Scotland meet Canada on June 9, take on USA a week later and then round out their tour with a fixture against Argentina on June 23.

Australia player ratings vs Wales | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

Interesting ratings comparing these to the Wales team.

Ave rating for the starting teams: 6.3 vs 6.2 in favour of Wallabies (median for both teams of 6.0)

Ave rating including reserves: 6.0 each

Suggests a pretty close match.

Think someone may have had their finger of the scale for the Wales ratings.

Don't blame Gatland, these are the players he inherited. Blame the WRU, who for years have been slowly destroying Welsh rugby! It is they, lock stock & barrel, who should resign!

Mick Cleary: 'England need to get angry, with themselves and with their coaches.'

Having watched most of the ENG games this fall, I think they were unlucky to lose to NZ in London, were beaten by better Aus and RSA teams. I think a couple of players have lost the shirt now - Ford being among them

Sitting w English fans at Twickenham yesterday, the tension is seriously mounting. Normally good sports (fans not media), the tempers are flaring a bit.

Stand for something or you'll fall for anything. The fans were quite within their rights to walk out early.

Why would you stay to watch your country's team be gleefully humiliated by a kiwi coach, again and again and again and again and again.

For gawds sake Wales, grow a spine.

There must be somebody in Welsh rugby getting kickbacks to stop Wales ever getting some pride in itself.

Wales player ratings vs Australia | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

Did Gatland give these ratings? Way too high. A full back who can't tackle should be 3 at most. A replacement hooker who can't throw in should be even less. Tom Rodgers got turned over on several restarts. Adam Beard looked good until his injury and Wales fell apart after he went. So how did he and his replacement score the same? Given these scores, you would think that Wales had won!

Wales player ratings vs Australia | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

I feel for Wales. The game over there is in terrible shape atm. Part of me was optimistic that given their history and rugby heritage, they’d turn fortunes around much in the way Italy started clicking after the last WC.

That said, they looked like a tier II side today.

Australia could do with a few more games as they are purring beautifully atm.

PSDT is the GOAT.

Question marks hang over Warren Gatland as Wales thrashed by Australia

You might as well close welsh rugby down. After 20 or so years of kiwi coaches Wales are a hollow shell of their former selves. You might as well close it down.

They are weak. They have no spine. They have no courage. What is the point of welsh rugby other than a sick joke for kiwis having fun destroying them.

From here on in they might as well be called Walez, or Walenz.

England A player ratings vs Australia A | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

I was talking about the Japan game. We’ve seen what a Slade/Lawrence combination can do and putting the pair of them out again, when England clearly need to look at alternative options and especially given the way Slade was parachuted back into the team which highlighted the lack of cover, then I think we should start looking at alternatives sooner rather than later.

God forbid either one of them gets injured over the winter and can’t play the 6Ns.

How can Wales' average player ratings after a 32 point loss to Australia be higher than the average ratings you gave Scotland for a close match against the world No.1 & world champs a week ago?😂
