Even as a proud Englishman and Quins fan I agree - think Hogg offers more than Brown in broken play. If Halfpenny is fit then I think both him and Hogg would probably get the nod for FB on a Lions tour, particularly if Gatland is the coach again (which is more or less a given I would think).

Whats your thoughts on Visser? How has he settled?

Always liked the look of Visser - pace and looks to get involved, and being a big old unit always going to be a threat when he has the ball. Settled in very well IMO - a number of tries already for Quins. Always a bit difficult for players to settle with new teams I think, particularly when they're internationals so will be off representing their countries a fair bit. But both him and Roberts excellent signings.

He's a scoring machine but not great defensively as he's always a bit suspect going into a tackle. Glad to see he's settled well.

For Quins I'll be hoping for the former; for Scotland against England I'll obviously be hoping for the later!!

Interesting stat on Wings. [if true]
England's Championship winning 1991 team only used 15 players.

Long may it continue and hopefully he see's his future in Scotland but I fancy big bucks will get thrown at him from somewhere and Glasgow will lose him.

If the Lions squad was announced tomorrow I fancy he would probably be the starting full back ahead of Brown

Hogg will end up at a big English or French club and, hopefully, will become a better player as a result. If he gets offer 5x the money he gets at Glasgow to leave then he should jump at the chance.

Home nations are blessed with so many talented backs just now. Mike Brown is a quality act as is Halfpenny. The choice for Lions full back is a hard one to call.

That's another offside that should have been given against Wales - how can linesman not see that

Can the Video ref call it or can they only come in for foul play or when asked by the on pitch Ref...?

No idea ? Im sure they have got involved without it being foul play before ?

Suppose that try was OK

 

[Val]

Open game, bad try to lose with the mix up with Hogg and Seymour but still just 8 points. Surely we can't be as bad in the second half.

Stuart Hoggs try was a sublime piece of magic. Full of vision, awareness and pace.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Dominant Wales performance today. This is a cracking game and next score huge. Very open and good to see

 

[GB72]

Got the feeling that the mix up is going to prove the difference in this game

 

[Val]

We've lost our heads a bit, God knows what Dunbar was thinking. Game done here now

 

[GB72]

Unfortunately yes. To be fair you are getting reffed out of it as well

Handbag time. Suites Ireland

Hate finger pointing the ref but he's had his moments

Diplomatic enough?

You are remarkably restrained considering
