Just rolling along, navigating the injustices of being a Scotland rugby tragic.
Not sure I can cope with England being good at rugby again.

Same team then for Argentina, with Darge and Fagerson swapping starting role/bench role. Interesting to see DVDM on a 5-3 bench though. Not sure about that one, wasn’t aware he covered anything but wing 🤷🏻♂️

They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school.
And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this.
This is not a serious society.

One thing I’d love to see Finn Russell improve on is getting more distance on his touch kicks after a penalty. His loose play kicking is brilliant, but when he kicks to touch after a penalty, I think he is far too safe. The line-outs are often much further away from the 5m line than they could be.

I know it’s definitely not a sign and I definitely won’t believe it but I got Wordle in 1 today and I’ve definitely never done that before and it definitely doesn’t mean Scotland and going to beat the All Blacks. Definitely not.

P laying tier 2 nations is very nice of us but if Wales can get both SA and NZ in the autumn internationals, why can’t we?
Only 2 matches vs ABs in last 11 years is a joke btw. New nations league will fix that but we have to play them more often if we want a chance to beat them.

British Airways just announced they’re going to be using Musk’s satellites for onboard fast WiFi. I hardly ever use them these days anyway but I certainly won’t be in the future now either. Very self-righteous but I despise the man and everything his lot stand for.
"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Kinda gutted for Ritchie and AOC too.

WTF is wrong with Zander anyway? He’s been out for yonks, surely calves don’t take that long to heal? (Heifer could probably grow a calf in the length of time he’s been out. Badoom.)

Edinburgh’s issues always seem to revolve around game management, unforced errors and general naïveté. Talent not an issue, but jeez guys, employ a mental strength coach or something 🤷🏻♂️

God it’s so depressing to hear this kind of shit has spread to rugby now too. People are just such utter c***s nowadays, they really are.
My teammate refereed an under 16s school rugby match and got so much shit from both sidelines he called the captains in and said, "go and tell your parents if they don't calm down it'll be a penalty on you"
Says the sight of 15-year-old boys screaming at adults to behave themselves was class

Big time. I just hate that they even have to kowtow to sponsors for a one off centenary kit. Just fuck them off for this one shirt

I’ve drunk a lot of booze in my life, in fact I got so uncomfortable with it I’m now seeing a therapist to help me reduce it. So I shouldn’t really judge, I guess, but I’ve never found it anything but staggering to see how many people sit at an airport at 7am getting beered up and think it’s normal.

This is terrible, terrible stuff from Glasgow in the second half. Did they smoke some weed at the break or what?

Can you imagine the backlash if Finn Russell had done what Kolbe just did?

Jeez we don't get a lot of luck in Rugby World Cups do we? Ireland and SA in the men's version last time, due to the seedings being done too far in advance. Now, if we lose to Canada (number 2 team in the world) on Sat in the women's version, we face England (number 1 team in the world) in the QFs.

Not much love for Toonie and his extended contract but, realistically, who else is available that would do a better job? I don't think there are many outstanding candidates who have been there and done it internationally. Maybe there are some strong candidates on their way up the career ladder...?
