Scots Reunite! The Summer Tour Thread.

[KickAndChase]

First topic message reminder :

Despite the anger it invites from many Scottish posters (more as a place to vent than the cause) I miss the standard Scotland thread. With Edinburgh's success in the Heineken Cup and what looks like Glasgow's in the RABO we have two semi finals under our belt in club rugby. Can the players finally overcome the friction with their coaching team and display this on the pitch? Who would be your picks for the summer tour squad and match day 22s? Do you think we will win a match this year?

No news on squad size yet (I believe) but we can speculate. I do think we will beat one of Fiji & Samoa and also the Waratahs, but that's it. Anyone able to instill that misguided Scottish faith back into me???

[KickAndChase]

I don't even know where you find the squad ... SRU website?

[Captain_Sensible]

They'll announce it on Twitter as well. Often the best place to get that kind of info, if you follow the Scottish Rugby feed.

[RDW]

It's always up on Twitter first then they put it on the website.

BBC sport will then have it in a weeks time!

[KickAndChase]

I reckon the only good thing that will come out of this tour will be Visser. We'll lose to the Cook Islands too.

[RDW]

Again what's with this Cook Islands chat - I said it earlier on here but this is the only place I've seen someone say we are playing them! The SRU website doesn't even say it!

[alexgmacdonald]

Five uncapped players will be named in the squad for the summer tour to Australasia. Details here within the hour. SRU Twitter

Ooh exciting! Matt Scott and Welsh are capped so....

Harley, Gilchrist, Dunbar, Brown, ?

Positive news at least!

Visser?

[RDW]

That's the one! How could I forget him...

Would be happy if they were the 5

I think Chris Fusaro will feel a bit hard done by if Barclay gets the nod ahead of him, but I cant see him being one of the 5 over any of them

[Pat_Mustard]

Well theres also grant, macArthur, ryder, mcinally and Wilson possible so who knows what combination we'll end up with!

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

If it's only 5, that's extremely disappointing

[KickAndChase]

Remember one of them will be Shingler

[Pat_Mustard]

Means the Scotsmans prediction was wrong, their squad contained 6 uncapped players.

[RDW]

If Shingler is chosen over Dunbar I'll make 21st Cent.... look like a Nun compared to the rant I'll come out with!

[RDW]

On the Shingler subject looks like he won't be picked...

[nickj]

It wont be Shingler. Press Association just covered it and Guardian picked it up. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/may/16/steve-shingler-scotland-wales?newsfeed=true

[nickj]

Sorry RDW - great minds

[alexgmacdonald]

Backs: Ansbro, Blair, Brown, Cusiter, De Luca, Evans,Grove, Hogg, Laidlaw, S Lamont, Scott, Visser and Weir

Forwards :Barclay, Cross, Ford(c), Grant, Gray, Hall, Harley, Kellock, S Lawson, Murray, Rennie, Ryder, Strokosch, Vernon and Welsh

[RDW]

dammit - just beat me!

[alexgmacdonald]

you owe me a drink

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Nah, beat you both!! The is all mine!!

[alexgmacdonald]

how? :O

[RDW]

Brown, Scott, Harley in there - fairly happy, Grove over Dunbar - a shame but not a disaster.

3 hookers is a shame (Dougie Hall!! ) as it probably meant to room for McInally or Gilchrist.

Overall I think I'm fairly happy - didn't expect all my picks to be chosen.

[RDW]

Yeah Asbo - how??

[RuggerRadge2611]

Not the best but it could have been worse. Hall instead of MacArthur is the one that really jumps out.

Shame Dunbar is not touring but nice to see Grove being called up.

No Morrison or Southwell!

Keep SLamont on the wing while you are at it!

[alexgmacdonald]

Yeah Asbo - how??

He started a new thread....dammit... I'm pouring my own then

[RDW]

Holy crap - didn't notice the lack of Morrison!!!!

[RDW]

So are we gonna discuss it on that new thread then?

[Manky-Flanker]

Happy to see Tom Ryder included, he deserved it. Though Fusaro will be wondering what more he could have done to warrant a callup.

[RDW]

Folks - Aslongas has set up a new squad announcement thread here https://www.606v2.com/t29238-scotland-squad-for-sh-tour so if we move to that one to prevent numerous threads talking about the same thing
