Scotland team announced for knockout clash with Ireland

To be honest I would pick James Lowe ahead of Penaud and LBB given his power, kicking ability and rugby intellect which are all superior to the French wings.

You’re welcome to pick Ramos above Will Jordan, but I don’t think many coaches in the world would. If you have another goalkicker in the team Ramos’s value drops dramatically.

If AA is the one who’s made and posted the highlights to youtube then that’s hilarious!!!

Smith has a better haircut. I’ll give him that.

Idk if you’ve ever interacted with “AA” on here? He has (several times) tried to argue that Marcus Smith is better than Ford because he has more youtube highlights compilations dedicated to him

For pens, stick to flagrant and dangerous play like collapses, otherwise make the feeding side use the ball.

If you take away the GKing, I would take at least four other FBs ahead of Ramos right now. Even Buros from UBB is better.

I think it should be a separate 30 second scrum clock. Don’t stop the game clock.

30 seconds to set, engage, throw it in and get it out. No re-sets. One shot.

You don’t want props to feel left out and you don’t want it to go the way of rugby league, scrums are no longer useful if they can’t be ref’d properly.

I’d prefer the scrum to be under rather than over-reffed as you’re suggesting - mostly by ppl who don’t really know what’s happening. If there is doubt, let the scrum play out!

In fact, it’s more recent than 2012. I remember Eddie lamenting the ‘Six and a halves’ he had going into the 2016 England tour of Oz. He went with Robshaw and Haskell, and then Temaina Harrison at ‘7’ in the last test because Haskell was injured.
