Some tidying up could be required as I'm no a PC wizz!

Duncan Weir has been utter garbage

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 8:57 pm

Nice try, even if we made a mess of the backs move!

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 8:59 pm

Weir is a liability - get him off!

by GLove39 Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:02 pm

Another Edinburgh try

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:03 pm

Much better 2nd half!

by GLove39 Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:05 pm

Stade player totally milked that, Oscar worthy

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:05 pm

Utterly ridiculous dive

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:07 pm

You've got to be kidding me - that's got to be the softest red card in the history of rugby

by TheMildlyFranticLlama Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:08 pm

Who was carded and what for?

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:12 pm

Burleigh lashed out at Pape and basically open handed slapped him in the face. Basically his fingers made connection with Pape's cheek.

Pape then falls down like a ton of bricks and makes an absolute meal of it.

Utterly needless from Burleigh but disgraceful from Pape.

by GLove39 Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:12 pm

Frak ME.
Can't believe Pappy would play act like that, thought he was one of the hard men of French rugby.

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:15 pm

The TMO did his best to say that it really wasn't worthy of a red card but the young English ref decided to be a douche.

It really wasn't worthy of a red card.

by GLove39 Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:17 pm

Edinburgh well up for it now!
Nothing like the burning sense of injustice to motivate a team

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:20 pm

We should have kept going for a try there - 2 points isn't going to be enough with 15 to go and down to 14 men, and we had them on the rack there.

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:23 pm

Dell and Berghan have made a big difference

by GLove39 Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:26 pm

JEEZUS Weir almost hit the self destruct button there

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:27 pm

Really bad execution - you can see what we were trying but made a right mess of it1

by TJ Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:28 pm

Had to be red. any strike to the face has to be red as the laws / directives are now. Must be the softest ever and he could have given a yellow for the dive which the ref did see or reversed the penalty 'cos there also is a directive to clamp down on simulation

I thought you'd side with the letter of the law TJ but the ref is allowed to show his discretion and it makes a mockery of the game that what Burleigh did is deemed to be more dangerous than tip tackle etc that only get yellow cards. Would Nigel Owens have shown red there?

It was stupid from Burleigh but I really can't fathom in what reality that is worthy of a red!

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:32 pm

Dell looking every bit the International loosehead - great scrum penalty

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:35 pm

That was really nicely done from Edinburgh - scrum penalty on the 5, lineout penalty in our own half then another penalty to get 3 points

by GLove39 Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:36 pm

COME ON LADS

by GLove39 Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:37 pm

YASSSSSSSSSSS

by GLove39 Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:38 pm

GET IT UP YE PAPE!!!!!!!!!!

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:39 pm

What a difference between the two halfs - great win!

by cakeordeath Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:40 pm

Well done Edinburgh. Two good results today

by TJ Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:41 pm

RDW - I don't think the ref is allowed to use discretion. wold Nige have done it - maybe not but then it would be cited and the ref marked down

by TJ Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:43 pm

Unbelievable win.

from 17 nil down to win 28: 23

WTF is going on at Edinburgh tho? The team is so inconsistent and so disjointed. Is it leadership?

Credit to Hodge for making early substitutions - Dell and Berghan made a big impact off the bench and our scrums went from getting pumped to suddenly being on top.

Stade lost their way too - they didn't look interested when we started getting in their faces and showing that we actually wanted to win.

by TJ Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:47 pm

Hopefully Pape is cited and banned as well. Utterly disgraceful.

Play acting or “simulation” is specifically outlawed in the game in a move that formalises resistance to a practice that has been creeping into the game in recent years. Any player who dives or feigns injury in an effort to influence the match officials will be liable for sanction

by TJ Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:48 pm

But why was the first choice front row not on from the start? SRU instruction to rest them? Seems odd

by **RDW** Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:50 pm

Up until half time you could argue Dickinson and McCallum was the first choice combo available to us.

Dickinson was clearly lacking match practice and McCallum was annihilated.

Berghan needs to start next week.

Call me a rugby idealist but if the ref had said:

"It was a strike to the face but there really was very little to it. In addition the Stade player has clearly made a meal of it. Yellow card to Edinburgh and a telling off to Pape for simulation"

Or something along those lines most rugby fans would be far more satisfied with the outcome than what actually happened.

by TJ Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:56 pm

Oh I agree - or yellow card Pape for the dive. Hopefully Pape gets cited for that. YOu could see non of the officals wanted to give the red but I don't think they had any choice

anyway - we won a game

A word on SHC - I thought he looked more like his former self tonight and is benefiting from getting a run of games. Really sharp around the rucks and good service.

Weir, however, was his usual headless chicken self!

by **George Carlin** Sat Dec 10, 2016 10:12 pm

Scottish teams beating French ones? Piece of p!ss.

by **George Carlin** Sat Dec 10, 2016 10:13 pm

Maitland also scored twice tonight.

by funnyExiledScot Sat Dec 10, 2016 10:13 pm

Lovely work from both Scots teams today!

by cakeordeath Sat Dec 10, 2016 10:19 pm

The 7's went 3 for 3 today
Glasgow won
Edinburgh won

Have we been secretly transported to a parallel universe?

by TJ Sat Dec 10, 2016 10:30 pm

Nah -
Edinburgh were Poopie for large parts of the match

by Hazel Sapling Sat Dec 10, 2016 11:45 pm

Sounds like a real rollercoaster. Surprised they started Dickinson but guess that since Dell started each of the Scotland games, they wanted to give him a bit of a break.

McCallum has done well and has earned his stripes as a pro TH as a 20 year old. Berghan is older and has more of a track record. If Berghan stays healthy, he could easily tour Australia in the summer.

Actually you may be right - Edinburgh are top of their group! 3 from 3.

Not sure but I am getting a bit of a vibe that Glove might be really upset at Pape

Scotland make heavy work against USA but win after 2 minutes of extra time - England or Fiji in the semi final

by TJ Sun Dec 11, 2016 11:35 am

The edinburgh game - do we give Hodge credit for turning it around with a good half time talk / change of tactics / substitutions? Or is it his fault that we were in trouble anyway because of his weak front row selection in the starting 15?
