1872 Cup Champions

[switchskier]

A bit of rotation there but who exactly is covering ten? SHC hasn't played there since school has he? LI team looks very young but I actually think that their youngsters might be more talented.


Edinburgh: Bryce; Fife, Dean, Rasolea, Hoyland; Tolvey, Hidalgo-Clyne; Dell, McInally, Berghan, McKenzie (capt), Toolis, Ritchie, Hardie, Du Preez.

Replacements: Cochrane, Marfo, Nel, Gilchrist, Crosbie, Fowles, Brown, Harries.

Is there no TV coverage of this? The mickey mouse cup coverage is absolutely abyssmal since the takeover. I thought it was meant to be an improvement? I remember being able to catch 3 games a weekend for the challenge cup if I wished previously.

Edinburgh don't have a single televised game rounds 1-4 according to the european rugby site. I doubt it will change much for 5-6 either.

It certainly looks like some odd agreement is in place as they rotate between a game each, sky/BT each round. So 1 game a round aired in the UK. Piss poor.

I've just seen that Treviso Embra will be broadcast in eurosport on the 28th. Anyone any idea if this will be shown on the channel in sky?

I don't believe so.

That's pish

3 tries to one up in 34 minutes. F you whoever decided to not put this on telly.....

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Sounds like a cracker. No BP yet though. Still only 9 points in it & sounds as if the scrum is dominating. Kick 'em to death then hunt for the last try.

Your question has been answered. SHC playing 10 with Fowles at 9 for the last 10 mins.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

BP secured. A fine result regardless of the LI line up.

Good to see crosbie get a try.

[General Zod]

Any highlights yet?

Haven't seen it elsewhere here but Bradbury has been suspended by Edinburgh. Fell when pissed and injured himself. I think we need to wait til the story comes out fully. He may not have been too pissed and genuinely had an accident or could have been blootered.

On other injuries Sutherland, Graham, van set Merwe and Kennedy all due back late October to late November (listed in order of expected return.

Bennett due back in December.

Well this will be interesting to watch. I wonder if this is what Cockerills references to player culture mean.

I suspect we'll see a new captain soon.

I heard this as well.

If true then really unimpressed with him. He was given an amazing, amazing opportunity at such a young age and he's pissing it up the wall.

Last try in hulk mode

Not available.

Ah, I'm in Bulgaria and can see it. If you have a vpn, you should be able to see it.

That sounds like too much effort.

U.K. Highlights

[Adder]

Interesting calls in the back row. Good team with a few experimental choices

What happened to Dean? Seemed to be playing really well. Just rotation?

I'm guessing Freuan has played his 3 games for the season.

Im confused by that too. Has been very good when I've watched. Glad Johnstone is back though

[Mikey Brown]

Fair enough. Who is Johnstone?

Hardie suspended from duty under mysterious circumstances.

Anyone?

Johnstone has been around for years but never been given a chance until now and has been farmed out to the sevens. Quick and good hands but always had questions about defence. I'm really pleased he's being given an opportunity.

No idea about hardie but cockers must be going spare coming so soon after the Bradbury incident.
