Les Écossais se sont imposés 25-13 lors de leur premier match de préparation en vue de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby contre les Azzurri et les deux joueurs du XV de départ conservés pour affronter les Français lors du deuxième match au Scottish Gas Murrayfield sont l’ailier Darcy Graham, auteur de deux essais, et l’arrière Matt Fagerson, qui passe du poste de numéro 8 à celui de troisième-ligne côté fermé à cette occasion.

Finn Russell est nommé capitaine, le demi d’ouverture étant associé à Ben White à la charnière. Sione Tuipulotu est choisi comme vice-capitaine et relance son association au centre avec Huw Jones. Dans le pack, Fagerson est aligné au côté de Hamish Watson et Jack Dempsey en troisième-ligne.

Richie Gray et Grant Gilchrist, un autre vice-capitaine, sont associés en deuxième-ligne, tandis que la première ligne sera composée d’Ewan Ashman, de Pierre Schoeman et de Zander Fagerson.

Rory Darge, qui a mené l’Écosse à la victoire en Italie, est l’un des cinq avants appelés à faire partie des remplaçants. Dave Cherry, Jamie Bhatti, WP Nel et Scott Cummings sont les autres options du pack, tandis que les arrières George Horne, Cameron Redpath et Ollie Smith complètent la liste des 23 joueurs du jour.

Better pathway for the Aussies is to chuck a sicky against the AB’s and sneak into the final from the other side of the draw.

Regarding Henry: Why Australian rugby has a new centre of attention

So who does JAS push out when he plays in the back 3? Wright and Campbell are both better fullbacks who know their trade, know where to be on the field and can do all the basics right like pass both ways, kick accurately and defend. Then on the wing we have Pietsch, Jorgensen, Potter and Daugunu who again all know where to be on the field in attack and defence, can pass, kick and tackle well. JAS is not better than any of those 6 so who is he going to replace?

For me his biggest issue is his lack of experience and this hasn’t been helped with his ongoing injuries that have kept him off the field. Personally, I don’t think he’s got the skills, experience or rugby IQ to be a Wallaby and he certainly doesn’t make my 23. He needs to go back to club in the off season and spend a full Super season on the field in a position he can learn the game in, probably right wing because he can at least pass to the left, if a bit poorly. Then if he demonstrates he’s one of the best 4 in the country he makes the squad. Other than that see ya later

Coleman kept showing some great glimpses and then repeating the same mistakes.

He worried after his first year that the team wasn’t big enough, asked his players to bulk, admitted at end of season it had been detrimental - then asked them to bulk again at the start of the next one.

Thanks Nick. Just the article I wanted to read. Henry didn’t need training wheels. He’s a standout 13 and Test match ready. Lock him in with Lenny at 12, I say.

I'd have Newell starting and Lomax off the rimu. That way youll be bringing on a front row unit from the Hurricanes.

(Also, Will Jordan is NZ's best fullback.)

'That’s what the All Blacks don’t have': Ex-Bok coach highlights Dave Rennie's issue

Yea I’m not saying Taele is the answer ( tho he is pretty good and has a couple of years of Super behind him ) it could be Rova it could be Roberts could even be Carter ( who has gone pretty well in midfield) could be Brown my point is more around that the Boks have limitations on their depth as any team maybe less for sure but the gap is not yawning .

That’s a long list with some awesome players no doubt but has been a reality for NZ rugby for ages now and will continue but I’m expecting there to be a tweak after World Cup ss for this tour teckon we got enough to put up a good fight at the least …time will tell!

Jason Ryan’s blunt assessment of the Springboks’ scrum ahead of first Test

Watching last year’s Wallabies victory of The Greatest Team Ever, just ask them, the Wallabies made them look second rate. 22 points to nil while fresh in the first half look awesome but will this team be fit enough to see out 80 mins as half of them haven’t had a game for a few weeks. Wallabies forward ran away from There backs in the second half with 38 unanswered points.

Suffer the first half onslaught and see how it goes in the second half.

Good club rugby connection between henry, carter and hunter as well nick - all three play for wests in brisbane back to 2019 or so. Different build of player, but that short line henry ran reminded me of Kellaway and his silky ability to slip through a gap seemingly undetected and just be in the right place at the right time for often than not.

Regarding Henry: Why Australian rugby has a new centre of attention

Nice one Nick. I have always been someone who believes in players needing to do their role, and that teams should be better than the sum of their parts. Suaalii may be a lab-born, drago like specimen and win every NFL-combine like test on the training pitch, but the fact is he hasn’t been doing his core role and the team does better at the moment without him. He doesn’t link with his team well in defense and often leave gaps even if people say ‘he is a physical league player’. In attack, he often hesitates and picks the wrong line on running, and wrong option when passing. This is why I have called for flook in the past and now henry. Not because they are a better athlete, but because they do their core job and make the team look better.

If you go back to the 1st game vs japan the WBs played the same backline moves with suaalii and I think the comparisons are instructive with henry. Comparison 1: the short ball. When suaalii ran the short line, he ended up running at the same hole as hunter (who drew 2 defenders) and crowded the space rather than running into the hole one man wider. Hunter luckily hit the right option out the back and Wright ended up scoring in the far corner. Herny on the other hand hit the right gap and would’ve setup a great try if not for the forward pass. Comparison 2: bouncing out and hitting the wing. Compare henry in your 3rd clip hitting jorgo when on the outs line and needing to link with his winger - on the chest perfect pass. Suaalii last week got caught between taking contact and offloading, hitting potter on the wing, and canham who switched back and the ball ended up going to absolutely no one. Luckily potter picked it up and sliced through a gap to score but suaalii definitely didn’t execute.

On the other hand he has not been injured basically at all over the years ( multiple strapped areas and all ) so he has always turned up and the players know it .

These pre test games have been all about getting the larger squad game time and room to grow this would apply off field as well ..no big deal .

Double RWC winner names his 'full metal jacket' Boks XV for All Blacks

So much good stuff to digest! Will revert with more considered thoughts later. But one thing stands out - if the ABs do not go with a lock on the bench they will lose if Rassie goes with the team you or I are foreshadowing. The mix of AB mobility and speed will be skewed to the former but in those last 10-15 minutes, with fresher heavy infantry (especially in the Cobus and Hanekom mould) on the field, the ABs will be smashed out of the game.
