Four players cut as Townsend reduces Scotland squad to 37

Adam Hastings - PA

Gregor Townsend has cut four players from his Scotland training squad as he named a 37-strong training squad ahead of their match against France in Saint-Etienne.

ADVERTISEMENT

Stafford McDowall, Adam Hastings, Cameron Henderson and Kyle Rowe have all been sent back to their clubs, and barring injury, appear to be out of the reckoning for a Rugby World Cup spot.

A statement reads: “Following yesterday’s 25-21 victory over France, Gregor Townsend has reduced his Rugby World Cup training squad to 37. Stafford McDowall, Adam Hastings, Cameron Henderson and Kyle Rowe have returned to their clubs ahead of the match against France in St. Etienne next Saturday and the Rugby World Cup squad being named on Wednesday 16 August.”

Here's where it gets sticky for Scotland

It was only a warm-up game. And it was only a heavily rotated France fielding almost none of their heaviest hitters. But by the way Murrayfield shuddered and swayed as Scotland dug in against the final French onslaught...

Kyren Taumoefolau All Blacks stance splits opinions on eligibility

Australian rugby has always been weak apart from the Eales era.


It's getting absolutely weakened having to share talent with the two other oval ball games of League and AFL. It gets kiwis over to fill out sides to plug holes.


The limitations with an equitable draft is NZ players aren't eligible to play for the Allblacks from offshore. However on both sides of the Tasman a draft system could be useful.

Kyren Taumoefolau All Blacks stance splits opinions on eligibility

He's a Kiwi, born and raised in NZ. I think he should need to go and permanently reside in Tonga and play their domestic comps with a five year stand down.


I don't see any benefit to NZ rugby with all these players representing the islands and other countries but actually living here and taking up spots in our professional NPC and super sides.


The Moana side seems to be being paid for by the NZ taxpayer, money that could be going into NZ rugby.


Rugby's hugely expensive to fund and NZ rugby needs to get back to number one to win back sponsors, it won't do so giving everyone else a lot of it's best players.


Fiji is a viable rugby nation with it's sides talent overwhelmingly coming from Fiji, Tonga and Samoa should have to do the same.


I fully understand this idea that NZ should support the islands but I'm not seeing the benefits for NZ just more player drain.


The real problem though is the top NZ talent being poached by England, Wales, France, Japan, Scotland, Ireland. That's genuinely disgraceful.

Kyren Taumoefolau All Blacks stance splits opinions on eligibility

Of course he can represent New Zealand. He can play for any other team other than the All Blacks - like Fabian Holland did last year with the New Zealand XV - this year, and represent the ABs next year. That’s an entirely normal and expected position for any new talent to be in, regardless of having played for another country before.

Tonga is a tiny island in the Pacific that he isn't from but has heritage from.

You’re making no sense CO. Trying to jump on the wrong example?

Tonga is a tiny island in the Pacific that he isn't from but has heritage from. Fact is he's a Kiwi and is currently unable to represent New Zealand which reallyWorld rugby regulations make no sense. They seem to be setup currently to allow New Zealand to have a lot of it's top talent playing for other countries like England, Japan, Tonga, etc. It makes no sense when NZ’s a small country of five million.

Brumbies on high alert: Len Ikitau’s stark warning over ex-boss

All you need is to hire an expert to help you accomplish that. If there’s any need to spy on your partner’s phone. From my experience I lacked evidence to confront my husband on my suspicion on his infidelity, until I came across ETHICALAHCKERS which many commend him of assisting them in their spying mission. So I contacted him and he provided me with access into his phone to view all text messages, call logs, WhatsApp messages and even her location. This evidence helped me move him off my life . I recommend you consult ETHICALHACKERS009 @ gmail.com OR CALL/TEXT ‪+1(716) 318-5536 or whatsapp +14106350697 if you need access to your partner’s phone or any kind of hacking, they carry out all kinds of hacking job

Taylah got given the short straw but the producer on both arguments, though I think she put her hand up on the Kryen one, which I had long wondered if he thought he had a small window to represent Tonga before switching to New Zealand.


I’m also with Mil’s on the other, there are some very good Kiwis playing for the Aussie sides even now, who would be great to poach back. Kalani Thomas, Gamble, Murray reminds me very much of Shaun Stevenson. All these guys, and others, have the potential to explode and warrant a AB jersey.

Technically I wouldn’t say poached, I’d say it’s a great use of World Rugby regulations for him to have been able to play for and help Tonga, a heavily disadvantaged national union, at a Rugby World Cup, while still being able to pursue his aspirations or dreams.

Like many of you, I'm always looking for good opportunities. I invested 124500 USDT in what seemed like a legitimate public sale, but the website crashed days before launch, leaving me feeling hopeless about my investment. A friend suggested Crypto Pandemic Hunter, a team that helps recover lost blockchain funds. Although I was skeptical, I shared my case with them. They analyzed the transactions and acted quickly, recovering my funds within 48 hours.

Sky Sports commentator on why Wallabies players are outplaying All Blacks counterparts

It’s really got nothing to do with her point.


I got the sense she was just using it as a way to show that ABs are underperforming or not stepping up compared to the prospects, which is nothing to do with NZ v Aus.


I’m not sure her comparison made sense, and obviously Wilson suggested the likely reason for it this early in the season. Certainly Taylah still seemed to be championing NZ over Aus so not like she was saying they’re quantifiably better imo.

Sky Sports commentator on why Wallabies players are outplaying All Blacks counterparts

SadersMan has hit the nail on the head. I respect Taylah’s analysis but she left out one potential reason for the difference in performance - in the 30 games so far Aussie/Kiwis sides have only faced each other in 6 matches. While these have been won 3 all, two of the Aussie wins have only been by one point.


I would also like to see the stats for Anton L-B against Daugunu. I’m not a great fan of Iaone at centre but its pretty hard to shine if the team around you is struggling. Likewise, I’d like to see Tamaite Williams performance stats vs Bell.
