That's hilarious, what a bastard! Looked like it was done in the name of banter to me, but Hogg look


Glasgow Warriors secured their RaboDirect PRO12 home semi-final in style with a 54-0 thrashing of Zebre on Saturday. flow free There was an amusing moment in the first half when two players from the same side competed against one another to score a try.
On a hat-trick, the 21-year-old British & Irish Lions back had a chance at picking up his third before halftime, but was thwarted by speedster Niko Matawalu, who refused to give up the footrace despite Hogg remonstrating for him to leave it alone.
As you can see, there's are no hard feelings between Hogg and Matawalu

That's hilarious, what a bastard! Looked like it was done in the name of banter to me, but Hogg looked like he was fuming though - wonder if there's some subtext/previous involved?? Nearly backfired though didn't it - how close was he to "splitting flow free his heid" on the metal bar behind that loose ad hoarding?

Surely Hogg's ball? He kicked it ahead and there was no opposition. flow free I think if it was me I would have picked Matawalu up and rammed him into the hoardings again!! Mind you, I did play prop so would have already been back on the halfway line waiting for the kick-off!!
did no media ask them about this after the match? If something like this would have happened in any sport in the US reporters would be all over both of them in the post-game. Is there no q&a with the players following flow free the match?
seemingly no hard feelings, was surely some bet going on or something, but what a wanker all the same...is there anything worse than a poacher? flow free https://twitter.com/RaboDirectPRO12/status/465550894265024512/photo/1

Nah, if I were chasing a ball and one of my mates tried to wave me off because he wanted a hat trick I'd score, then tell him he should have been faster. By the same token, if I was running in untouched and a mate was beside me calling for the ball so he could complete his hat trick you can bet your britches I'd hold on to the ball and score myself.
Hogg got enough flow free of a payout from touring with the Lions as well as the Scotland caps. Let the 'unknown' man pick up a try scoring bonus. I'm not a Hogg-hater by any stretch, but he seems to think he is the only attacking threat flow free in whatever match day 23 he is making up numbers in. And to be fair, ears pinned back, you could be mistaken for thinking it is a defender sledging... like doing an impression of the oppo pack leader and calling "break" at the scrum before flow free the 8 has it... Or my favourite... ask the oppo hooker who his favourite singer/band is. Playing 9, I made it my duty to sing the back catalogue as badly as i could when it came to their Lineout ball. Nothing muffles a move called like strangled cat warblings. Call it Karma for being a petulant shoulder charging child during the 6N. Touring with the Lions means f*ck all on a muddy day's rugby up Scotstoun.
I might actually register to post on here... would make things a little easier! It is nothing personal against Hogg. I'm sure he is an alright bloke, I'm only going on what has been broadcast so far, he seems to me though like a Dylan Armitage flow free sort of player, albeit with the violence watered flow free down a bit. Both are just under International standard (what other national team could Hogg realistically be in the mix?), Occasional flashes of brilliance, but ruined slightly by thoughtless actions and emotion in the moment. All 6N Hogg was shouting AT his players, not TO them, any mistake he was the first to turn and try to point blame, even if it was his own doing. One season of "shut up and know your place" treatment when he acts like a teenager will bring his ego back to a human level. He could be a very good player if he learns the 15 on his back means 1/15th, not trying to carry the whole team when you can just about hold your own game together. He might have had to do it for every team in age grade until he signed a 1st team contract, but he is in the top flight now, where apart from "The Chosen One" Sergio Parisse, it takes more than one man to carry a team. Superiority complexes belong in Parliament, not on the paddock. I don't like playing flow free with players who feel and act like it is their duty to "carry a team". In everyone else's book, that is ball-Hogging selfishness, if you excuse the pun. You're right, maybe I am a Hogg hater. He got off fairly lightly though, don't ever get me started on Chris Paterson though.
Scotland doesn't have the talent flow free depth (or weather) to develop a player like him. It is my personal opinion that he tries to take on too much, spreads himself far too thin. He won't progress as a player until he is around people who can put him in space. It is easier to perform as the "Tail of the Tiger" flow free than as the "Head of the Dog". I think that is a chinese flow free proverb. Maybe Mystic Meg. Whoever it is, I think I know what they are on about, even if I don't.
