But really what you need to do is get used to superior northern hemisphere rugby. Hit it up crash it, hit it up grind it out.

Basically a series of offences when 5 yards out with the game on the line that the ref couldn't give a penalty try for.

Ah, thanks. It was a crazy way to lose a game after being in front for so long.

Scotlandsquad.txt right there really.

Forwards are all pretty great (Very thin at hooker though) and have coped well against most packs, it's basically going to be Edinburgh's pack + Sam Skinner, Jonny Gray, and Josh Strauss, with a couple of possible changes but the backs are fairly untried if they throw Kinghorn and Graham in the deep end.

Edinburgh secure a home quarter final after beating Montpellier and dominating them up front for most of the match. The win also guarantees Glasgow qualify for the quarters too. :getin:

Exactly, he's a dick but he's got Edinburgh to go from absolute shitshow to one of the best packs in the NH.

Scotland have 20 players out injured for the 6N. Grim reading but just being able to field a pretty strong 39 man squad with all those out shows that they've got some depth finally.

Edinburgh fans, how bad was the reffing in the game v Kings?

Really bad. Kings gave away 6-7 scrum penalties on their 5m linein the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half alone and the ref refused to do anything about it other than issue "final warning" after "final warning". Edinburgh were bad but if the pack is crushing the opposition and the ref is doing nothing to punish the weaker side then there really isn't anything that they can do to mitigate that.

And that's not counting the weird ghost try the ref tried to award and the instant yellow for Edinburgh for one penalty in the 70th minute after letting the Kings away with murder all match. It was terrible. Kings got one yellow card for a blatant infringement but then gave away a penalty try and weren't carded for it so :psyduck:

The standard of refereeing across the board is shocking right now, to be honest.

I don't know what we're going to do about the reffing or why it's so bad. You'd think coming up through the ranks of local rugby in their country would help refs with experience.

Also, look at the speed on some of these fellas

The issue is that refs are generally just human so straight up miss things at times. Yeah, there are bad decisions as well but it must be one of the hardest jobs in sport because the game is so technical in areas. It's one reason why I think having two refs either side of the offside line would be a good thing, similar to the NFL, then they can consult with each other and hopefully see more of the things that are going on.
