Think it's fair to say this topic has been done to death and neither side is going to persuade the other - let's move on!

I'm happy to be persuaded or discuss the subject matter at hand. I quite enjoyed 123456789's last post. But when clearly explained posts are then twisted or labelled as "WUMs" because the other person holds an opposite viewpoint it gets pretty tiresome.

cascough's point is incredibly simple and to think he's saying Brown is better either makes you dense or obtuse.

Also worth pointing out that this discussion isn't about either/or.

The argument that Hogg is a better player than Brown is actually compatible with Brown being more important and a better fit for the current England team than Hogg might be if he was English.

As an aside, it is worth noting that if Hogg was EQ and had been playing in England all his career there is a good chance that Eddie Jones would have altered his tactics to include Hogg.  The coach develops his tactics to suit his players and I would be surprised if he left someone of Hogg’s outrageous talents out of the system. Any good coach with a world class fullback would ensure his tactics got the best out of his fullback!

This is all just a philosophical debate of course as Hogg is not English and Brown is English, so Jones of course picks tactics to suit Brown!

As I said previously we've been debating this for a long time now - hopefully there is some big news coming up to take our attention onto something else. OK

He has Watson. He has Daly. 2 guys in and around the squad now who a lot would feel are that different sort of player. It's not as if we haven't a fair few.wingers knocking on the doors. Jones seems to like what brown brings so ro go back to an original point no its not certain hogg would.be picked and there's a fair possibility if he were English he wouldn't be as good as ge is now as he wouldn't have had all his experience.

I'm confused.

I'm on a Scotland thread and folk are talking about how good Brown is at fullback but he's a hooker!

Then they go on about Watson being a good winger but he's an openside flanker!!!

Then they start about about how much Brown is liked by Jones. What does a bromance between our hooker and our outside centre have to do with things?

Faletau out for Wales for the Scotland game. Warburton and Davies are both out as well. They are going to have to go to youth.

J Davies (the elder) may even think Scotland will get within 20 if AWJ, Webb and Biggar all get crocked.

Navidi Shingler Tipuric Moriarty will cover nicely. Faletau is a loss but Navidi will probably get POS

You're happy to troll round other Nattions threads, trying to stir up trouble. Yet, when someone puts a little joke in against you, you don't like it and get all tetchy.
Before you go off with your daffs in a duffel bag, I would never advocate celebrating player injury regardless what nationality they are. It was just an acronym that fitted. Your overreaction says more about you than me.

Sorry boys, I can't leave this one!

Traditionally, haggis was minced lamb with oats stuffed into a sheep's stomach absolutely nothing to do with their bladder.

These days it's mince and oats stuffed into a plastic bag.

Everyone loses when Barnes referees, including the spectators - especially at scrum time - takes about 2 hours for one scrum

Barnes tends to stick to the letter of the law at the breakdown in regards to going off your feet and rolling away and it's an area ireland try to push to the limit. If anything a strict view on that favours scotland imo.

My sincere apologies I stand corrected

Over the course of the last year you have said many things that have interested me (some because of the ludicrousness and statistically at other points you've probably said something of merit) but the fact that you view the penetration of sheep to be less laughable than the consumption of one of its organs surely has to be the best.

Thank you.

You're very welcome

One is based in racist myth, the other, the eating of offal inside a sheep's stomach or bladder by Scottish people, in fact.

So as we head into the New year with the 6N looming Scotland's front row crisis is certainly my main concern, and IMO could be the difference between us having a good 6N (3 wins) and us having a disappointing one (only beating Italy) such is the importance of the front row.

A big part of the concern is just not knowing when everyone will be back, not helped by Cockerill’s change of policy at Edinburgh to not make player’s injuries public. We could end up being OK if some players come back in the next few weeks, or we could get no one back and end up with more injuries! A rough guess at the injury situation is:

Dickinson – unlikely to feature in the 6N (if at all)
Dell – unknown, but unlikely to be fit for the first round of games
Reid – unknown
Marfo – provisional chat was he was going to miss the 1872 and should be back soon. Hopefully it isn’t more than that
Sutherland – apparently due to return this week or the week after, which is a positive. He is only just back from long term injury so really needs a good run of games now.

Ford – unknown
Brown – repeated concussion, may have to take a break

Nel – likely to miss at least the first 2 rounds, may feature at some point
Berghan – Banned for the first game

So based on the above and assuming no more injuries we should be able to put out a competitive starting front row against Wales of Marfo, McInally, Fagerson with Bhattie, Turner and Welsh benching, which isn’t an overly strong bench. Problem is if we lose one of those tightheads or McInally then we’re really screwed – D’arcy Rae and Neil Cochrane??

Hopefully Marfo and Sutherland make a return to action in the next few weeks and Fagerson and Welsh keep away from danger!

I was in the pub watching the 2nd leg of the 1872 games and a few of the players were there too.

Marfo is clearly still in a lot of pain, I'm far from a doctor (or have any level of medical knowledge) but he was walking incredibly gingerly, I doubt we'll see him for a while yet. That said, he might just have a very odd walk, and is totally fine, but I suspect he'll be out for a couple of weeks yet.
