But yes, also concussion. He’s also scored more tries that those two this season and has a bit of ‘x-factor’ about him. Scotland rugby team. Yes Gary Graham Neil, all day long. In the 17 backs selected there are returns for Harlequins centre James Lang, who last featured in the national side during the summer of 2018, as well as Glasgow Warriors centre Nick Grigg and Edinburgh winger Damien Hoyland, alongside squad debutants van der Merwe and scrum-half Steele. Nairn got some game time early season, looked decent but hasn’t been seen near a Glasgow squad for yonks, maybe injured as well. Skinner presumably not picked as not fully fit yet – wonder if we will see him later on (and maybe a couple of others….). Gray/Gilchrist Would explain his lack of tries over the last 18 months or so. Andy Farrell has selected his squad to battle Scotland at Aviva Stadium in the Autumn Nations Cup on Saturday. Ed Hepworth appointed CFO of Six Nations Rugby. His squad selection suggests to me he is at least trying to do that…whether its enough time will tell…and wether he has much more time will no doubt depend on this 6N. Has he sorted his defence? I think there’s great options with our forwards, starting against Ireland, caveat injuries and coaching, but bulk and desire are there: My 1st 8 with their replacements, based on what I’ve seen season so far. Haining’s journey from the Western Force Academy, via Jersey Reds and Bristol, is an interesting one – he marked Sean Maitland on the wing during the Lions tour of 2013, having toyed with a switch to the centre. Really worried about lack of players and back up on one side of the front 3 which could hurt us badly. England : Gauzere It wouldn’t quite be my preferred team; I’d pick Scott at 12 (though I’m not sure who I’d put outside him), Horne would be my starting scrum-half, and I’d go with Sutherland over Bhatti, and Haining over du Preez. Haining and Crosbie I’m pleased he’s cleared out Wilson and P Horne who just don’t quite have the ability to excel at international level consistently and he’s largely rewarded players in form. I personally think Maitland would have been an excellent captain (if his place in the team is guaranteed), as both a respected senior player and leader. Why should we give him the stability of a long term contract. I just don’t know that the calm, clear-headed authority and the ability to inspire those around him when backs are to the wall are really his strengths – Scottish legend level player that he is. Would like to see Scott and Hutchison but wouldn’t be surprised by Johnson and Jones either. I’ve always said Harris is a better player than he gets credit for, but Bennett is just class. Which is why I think we should stick with Johnson who has found some form again at Glasgow and offers continuity both with Finn on his inside and either Harris or Jones outside him (WC, and club level respectively). Then the question about who has been left out and why doesn’t even arise. Faletau), a solid number of very good players (e.g. I’m comfortable that the three LHs picked are the best available (to my knowledge) but all three lack game time and it is definitely our weakest position. Yeah I’d imagine they’ll get one of Berghan or Nel back as required. I wonder if he has learned from taking players from hospital beds in the hope they would play better than fit ones playing below form. On Bennett’s Omission it’s great to see him playing regularly, fit and healthy but I still don’t believe he’s back to the level he was at in 2013 -2015, fingers crossed he can get there. Six Nations 2020: Scotland team to face Wales What have we said about the teams? I’ll be happy with 1 win, if we get beaten by better teams. Glad PHorne and Wilson no longer selected. but room for Tom Gordon? Find the perfect scotland rugby national team stock photo. Has the aggression and sheer will in addition to ability needed to play well at test level. We will see if Matt Scott can finally repeat his club form on the international stage. There’s also a case for arguing that Duncan Weir deserves another chance (as back-up to Finn) on the basis of his form for Worcester over the last 18 months or so. Can Edinburgh even name a pack with 13 out? The disclosure this week of Dodson’s eye-watering salary and bonus, particularly in comparison with the financial packages for other rugby governing bodies, is a blatant challenge to the sport in Scotland. Not sure it applies to Harris either. Stuart Hogg will captain the 2020 Scotland Six Nations squad, leading the team into a hugely challenging year of fixtures that will make or break Gregor Townsend’s career as coach. With the World Cup staying in the Southern Hemisphere, for any future-driven test nation, they must travel ‘downunder’. so you never know, we might turn them over against expectations. Current bunch have great potential, but can’t (yet!) Hogg is worth a try , it might just work out, everyone else has already had a shot, and no one stands out , even Hogg, but for whatever reason (it is not that relevant) , he never got another chance till now, what has changed would be my challenge! Farrell has rung the changes ahead of what will be Ireland's final Test match of 2020. Suddenly it is all going our way. Remember that our rivals passed on some gems like Hamish Watson (and their fans still make outlandish claims about their equivalents being better!). England teams to face Scotland in the 2020 Six Nations: Our experts have selected their XVs for Calcutta Cup - and you can pick yours England opened their Six Nations with defeat in France. Toonie has brought in form players over long-term injured players. Bradbury/Crosbie/Haining/Ritchie/Watson (there’ll always be at least one going spare – maybe more – most likely Crosbie, or Haining once Fagerson/Thomson is fit) I have to say I am a little bit dissappointed in some ways as there seems to be quite a lot of developmental inclusions which I feel a bit (world cup cycle)ish. The Super 6, sold as a means to bridge the gap between top level club rugby and the professional arm of the sport, will take some years to bed in. DVDM will no doubt play wing as soon as is qualified. If Johnson and Jones play well and stay uninjured I think they will start as the six nations pairing. Whether that’s coaching, I don’t know. Official Guinness Six Nations section for the Scotland Rugby Team, including Fixtures, Results, Live Scores, Features and Latest News 100% the biggest call he has to make! I want to see Hutchison given the chance. Want to see him and Jones start together (v Italy?). Will see how Hogg goes as captain but I have a few reservations. T he England team to tackle Scotland in Edinburgh has been announced. Hmmm we just sent our strongest ever squad to the World Cup and got humiliated. In that case why not just include Bennett? Hmm where did you read the list, on the bbc sport website it is out of order but on the SRU website it appears to be in it’s correct position so maybe just a typo by the bbc. Its going to say a lot for Hoggy’s maturity and patience come the moment when under pressure and we’re chasing a game. He does, from a distance, seem to struggle with player relationships…and accepting when his methods and selections failed. Huge collection, amazing choice, 100+ million high quality, affordable RF and RM images. Gregor Townsend said: “We are very much looking forward to coming back together as a coaching and playing group after such an unprecedented and challenging period in our sport and across society in general. One can only assume the bonus is attributable to meeting target indicators for financial performance since the playing performance across national teams has been poor for the period in question. Scott/Harris: the solid (stodgy?) The Scotland national rugby union team represents Scotland in men's international rugby union is administered by the Scottish Rugby Union. Could start Bradbury bring Blade off the bench kinda thing. Excuses about “this is a young group, we’re still learning at this level” etc are not what we want to be falling back on come March. Not sure which criteria he’ll be or should be judged on though. Other criteria include the relative strength of each team, the margin of victory, and an allowance for home advantage. I look forward to…. Exactly sir, thinking about it – we try & play “rugby” , they defend high, restrict the space, employ the short kick (to tactically move Hogg into traffic) & simply don’t let us play. I think the key to the upcoming six nations is not so much about the squad selection rather how quickly the players selected can pick up the new defensive patterns under Steve Tandy. Backs I’m pretty happy with, Mark Bennett must be pretty unlucky as what I’ve seen of him he looks in decent form although perhaps not quite at his excellent best. Hutchinson is a different level in attack. Richie Gray continues to be absent in what could well be his last chance to add to his caps while Sam Skinner is still on the comeback from injury and could well be involved later in the tournament. I see the biggest challenge here is the coaching of each chosen 23 taking the field to profit from their own strengths, exploit opposition weaknesses and apply intelligent game management at all times, home or away and when on top or up against it. Johnson/Harris: where’s the fun in that? Whether those 3 will play is interesting, personally I’d start Crosbie & certainly be considering Du Preez @ 8. Right now he should just try to put out the best team he’s got. It will be interesting if we play more pragmatic rugby, playing rugby further up the pitch and only forcing the play when the opportunities present themselves. You lot have all resigned yourself to 2 more years of Townsend.I wish we woukd just man up and do it. No amount of patches, in this case player swap outs, excuses and coach sackings, can change a poor foundation. A number of previous squad stalwarts miss out, including the oft-debated Wilson and Horne, as well as Sam Skinner, Gordon Reid, Mark Bennett and Duncan Taylor. Bennett (who should be there)/Johnstone I’m sure he’s lost some pace. I have pretty serious reservations about Hogg as captain. They’re all quality and in form. It may all backfire, but right now it makes sense. Sign-up for our newsletter today to receive the latest updates, content and releases from Scottish Rugby. Report 13th Mar 2020. Interesting, Edinburgh Forwards; Bhatti, Sutherland, McInally, Nel, Bergan, Gilchrist, Toolis, Bradbury, Ritchie, Watson, Haining, Crosbie = 12. Those that have missed out (Faegerson, R Gray etc) seem to have missed out due to injury rather than any bias as suggested by some posters. Not sure about picking Steyn or Tagive and leaving people like Bennett at home, but I don’t have all the info on those two. Hoggy as captain is an interesting call, too. Forwards (21)Jamie Bhatti, Allan Dell, Rory SutherlandFraser Brown, Stuart McInally, George TurnerSimon Berghan, Zander Fagerson, WP NelAlex Craig, Scott Cummings, Grant Gilchrist, Jonny Gray, Ben ToolisMagnus Bradbury, Luke Crosbie, Cornell du Preez, Tom Gordon, Nick Haining, Jamie Ritchie, Hamish Watson, Backs (17)George Horne, Ali Price, Henry PyrgosAdam Hastings, Finn RussellChris Harris, Rory Hutchinson, Sam Johnson, Huw Jones, Matt ScottDarcy Graham, Sean Maitland, Byron McGuigan, Kyle Steyn, Ratu TagiveStuart Hogg (capt), Blair Kinghorn. I don’t think any of us are under the illusion that Tagive or Steyn for example will feature on match day so no harm in having there initially when the pro-teams are not active. I remember during the 00s and early 10s looking at each of our published 6N training squads and just hoping for the best that the handful of proper Test standard players in there could carry the rest on their shoulders. However, its Toonies game plan which I hope has changed massively is what I am looking forward to. Playing very well with a recent mom award. The whole Toony thing needs a defuse. As always, very excited before the start. Leading from the back so to speak, as others have pointed out, didn’t stop Irvine, Hastings or Paterson. Good luck to Hogg no one can doubt his heart and commitment and I hope that he can avoid his annual Irish inflicted injury and thrive under the responsibility. The referees for the 6N have been announced and we are at last getting decent referees. As of 2 November 2020 , Scotland are 7th in the World Rugby Rankings. Barclay Playing Jones and Johnson together v Ireland will be like world cup deja vu. We need to select a side that will front up and get stuck in. Should Townsend fail this year, how many other last chances will he be given? So the coaching is critical, and this 6N will be a huge challenge for Toonie and his supporters, a bigger challenge than he faced in the 18 and 19 6Ns when he was still coming to terms with coaching at international level. Baggott/Dean (when fit)/Taylor There are whispers that he is injured, but Scotland don’t produce many specimens like him. He seemed too distant from the action in the game vs. the USA, but you can’t question his commitment and I guess the VCs will be communicating with the referee as well. Don’t think too many people can complain about it. Dell, Brown, Nel; Gilchrist, Gray; Ritchie, Watson; Bradbury Our coverage of The Scotland Rugby Team at the Six Nations Championship 2020 with player and team news, interviews and comprehensive match reports For 2020/21, Scotland adopts a familiar look for the home shirt, with the navy blue shirt, white-collar, white and gold trim, white shorts and navy socks, while the alternate shirt reverts back to white, with the same gold trim as the home shirt. A persistent problem for Blade. I would much prefer a tight knit squad who get to know each other and the new coaches intimately over a large squad making up numbers. A starting back row of Ritchie, Watson and Bradbury excites me but none of the other back rows do. Tagive qualifies on residency and has impressed now he’s finally fit and playing for Glasgow. Cummings/Craig Scottish Rugby is the governing body for rugby union in Scotland. Official page for the Scotland U20 featuring Fixtures & Results, Tournament Squad and Team Statistics. I really hope he has a couple big games for Edinburgh between now and the 6N and starts as first choice as he’s a great player and could lock down that shirt at least until the South Africans qualify. Two much-maligned players omitted, lots of dynamic players selected, some calls that I imagine a fair few didn’t see coming… Classic Toonie. Leaves out the west coast Scots boys – Ried, Bennett, R.Gray and picks obscure foreigners instead. Pretty much any pairing works for me, I’d go for Scott and Hutchinson as they have great form, are both cutting great angles and offer mixed options for Finn to work with. This site uses cookies to remember logged in users/commenters and for statistical analysis. I do think we need the like of Crosbie, DuPreez & maybe even Scott to keep them honest & put them on the back foot. Carmichael — Scottish Rugby (@Scotlandteam) November 11, 2020 In the back-line Head Coach Gregor Townsend makes three changes from the recent win in Wales with Worcester Warriors stand-off Duncan Weir winning his 29th cap for Scotland and joined in the half-backs by fellow Warrior, Glasgow’s Ali Price. There’s plenty of options with this group. Toony is not really a people person , is he ! ... Scotland 3rd Aug 2020. But he’s still quick. I think in recent weeks all have been solid defensively. Since the squad size isn’t restricted as it was at the RWC, and others will probably be invited to train, we could theoretically name as many as we want. Mata, Cherry/Fenton Our big big problem since Townsend arrived is a very leaky defence. Backs look good and we actually in a few positions have quality replacements not chosen. Do you really mean ‘strongest ever’? Folks if you can keep the Dodson chat to a minimum here please as this post is for discussion of the Scotland squad, we’ll be discussing on the podcast tonight so your thoughts on the matter will be welcome on that post when it appears later this evening/tomorrow morning. The Scottish Rugby Blog previews the rescheduled match between Wales and Scotland as the 2020 Six Nations finally comes to an end. Attack wise the backline needs to be built around the most undefendable skillset of Russell: being the left to right miss-pass & the kickpass off the right foot. I think it would be unfair to take Bennett from Edinburgh if there was no intent to play him. Hutchinson was loaned to Bedford to sort his defence. https://www.theoffsideline.com/will-the-gregor-townsend-tombola-throw-up-any-surprise-winners-this-six-nations/, Podcast – Episode 138: Tainted By Association, Edinburgh v Glasgow – An Alternative View, Barclay & Paterson: Former captains discuss state of the nation, Heineken Champions Cup Preview: Sale Sharks v Edinburgh, Podcast: Christmas Special “Hams In The Ruck”.

Discover Scotland's Men's and Women's Squads, Sevens, Club XV and International Age Grades, great players from the past and Scottish players of the future. Glasgow Forwards; Brown, Z Fag, Gray, Cummings, Gordon,Turner. I think I’ve fully given up on being optimistic and hopeful but anyway as usual best of luck to the guys I’ll be cheering them on! These games are often decided by kicking and Weir is top drawer. He turned his back on England. Players also responsible here. 2020 Six Nations: round four fixtures, results, table. © Copyright Scottish Rugby Union Limited 2021. We don’t need Hogg, Graham, Maitland, Kinghorn, Steyn, McGuigan AND Tagive, plus Harris, in the back three; I’d have chosen Bennett over one of them, most likely McGuigan or Tagive. Wales : Gardner. Anyway If he’s rewarding form then fair enough. 7 in squad for the 4 back 3 spots, plus a few centres who can cover the wing. 3 or 4 people, presumably, would need to be crocked before Tagive actually makes the 23.

I think a number of us having endured a very disappointing 2019 were awaiting the squad announcement with a little trepidation, but fair play to Toonie its one of his best overall selections since his time in charge. DO YOU HEAR ME? Enough to play 1s v 2s in training. More from the press-conference third hand: James Lang, Richie Gray, Blade also missing out through injury. – Really gone off Gilchrist recently who’s been too ineffective for me. Haining will be an interesting one. really? Tendency to run up for the big hit and create the dog leg. Bhatti/Sutherland I would argue that there is a limitation of ability to see beyond the point with the way both players lack a perspective of edge that is needed and required at international level. I would agree , Hogg is no captain but the alternatives are few. In the process he turned off the men left behind, that is what I believe is really damaging. I’d only pick Huw jones at 13 if he’s been practicing picking up the ball whilst running! Other than that, no complaints; except Gordon Reid can count himself a little hard done-by, so I’m guessing he’s out of the squad for the same reason that Batman and Peter Horne are. Maybe Sutherland will turn out to be someone who blossoms with maturity, but for the 6N I’d rather stick with Reid. Maybe Toony needs to change his plans, or maybe Tandy has the answer in defense, or maybe players need to be more aggressive/precise/calm..maybe it’s a systemic issue. Bradbury/Crosbie Ceciarelli has also been called up by Italy.13 from Glasgow – including their first and second choice hookers, scrum-halves and centres (at least while Huw Jones is in favour).1 from the Top14 in France.8 from the Gallagher Premiership, including 2 from Gloucester. Hopefully whoever is picked in the team will rise to the occasion! In view of our LH issues his selection makes perfect sense. Skinner is a big absence but with no game time since pre-world cup it seems a sensible decision and I’m glad Toonie now admits fitness and form should be a much bigger consideration in picking a team/squad. Stafford McDowell fits, both in position and alphabetically placed name. The newly formed Autumn Nations Cup begins in November with Scotland in Pool B alongside France and Fiji who they will play at BT Murrayfield as well as an away test match against Italy. Not good enough… getting on…and we need to find something better. Scottish National Rugby team jerseys from the outlet store. This is it , the stage is theirs. Bennett is a centre, those 2 are an out and out wing and a guy currently playing on the wing. Alternatively he could play Scott with Hutchison at 13 and the latter could come in as second receiver in some plays. Incidentally this is a man who drops players from one game to the next, brings in long term injured players over fit capable players. Farndale/Sau All the other 6N teams have battle-hardened, mature warriors as captains. Whilst Sutherland is on the comeback from injury I don’t think there is a big disparity in gametime between him or the other two looseheads this season. Scarlets’ Blade Thompson (back-row) also re-joins the squad having last featured at Rugby World Cup 2019. So I’d pick Hutchison with Jones, otherwise Scott with Hutchison. The squad features three uncapped players in Glasgow Warriors prop Oli Kebble, Edinburgh winger Duhan van der Merwe and Harlequins scrum-half, Scott Steele. Scotland begin their autumn test matches at BT Murrayfield against Georgia on Friday 23 October before facing Wales in Llanelli on 31 October in the rescheduled 2020 Guinness Six Nations fixture. Classic Walter Mitty. Willemse I want him to focus on getting back to his best form (I read on here previously an opinion that he may have lost a yard of pace – which is something I had been worrying about for the last year or so – it would be devastating to his capabilities if so – anyone else got opinions on that? Our centre problem has turned full circle and who do you play now at 12? Scotland team to face Ireland in Autumn Nations Cup. If we can get our defence sorted and keep our attacking patterns then we might be able to do something positive. Good God…. But need a bit more solidity against Ireland so Scott gets in. He’s a class coach. Could well fill the gap at 8…he sounds very keen to prove his metal at Int level. “The squad we have selected is formed by the majority of the players we worked with in the Six Nations alongside players who have grabbed their opportunity in the past few weeks and have been in form for their respective teams. Subs: McInally, Sutherland, Fagerson, Cummings, Crosbie, Price, Hastings, Jones, – would have Maitland but Saracens gotta Saracens Hutchinson is the bolter.
