honestly united

Would have been better if Ulster hadnt got the bonus point but beating top of the league is a huge result. 6 wins in a row is great form consider Glasgow players are making up about half of the Scotland squad on Sunday and there are a few injuries.

Was also a cracking win considering 13 of the starting 15 were scottish, shows they have good depth, altough it did help that Pyrgos and Weir were given some game time as they haven't featured that much for Scotland. Will be interesting to see who Edinburgh get as their new coach. I think the SRU will look to get a decnt names as (Heineken run last season apart) Glasgow have been streets ahead for a good few seasons now. Glasgow have also had the big name signings recently in Strauss, Maitland, both the Lamonts, while Edinburghs have signed some good players they haven't been names, or made that much of an impact this season.

Think Glasgow should make the play-offs. I thought they would struggle as well with Townsend as well, but glad to be proved wrong. However dont know how much it has to do with Lineens legacy and team, and the fact that the rest of the coaching staff has remained the same (eg Shade Munro etc)

I read up on some of his other swims, seemingly the Yangtzee is much much worse than the Amazon in terms of pollution etc, nearly killed him swimming that. Love his bottle of red wine everyday, thats my kind of fitness regime

My 2 favourites are Darwins Nightmare - pretty moving stuff about fishing for Nile Perch in Lake Victoria, basically there's a famine and they are catching thousands of fish and selling them to europe, while the locals have nothing to eat. One of those you watch and end up thinking the worlds F**ked Big River Man - Story of the crazy slovenian Martin Strel as he attempts to swim the full length of the Amazon, proper Heroic stuff

Tapping out to submission holds has been around for longer than the hand dropping thing. Most submission moves were tap outs, ie figure 4 although some like sleeper were arm drops

Shocking decision by the SRU, but its only for the duration of the 6 Nations until they appoint someone full time. Would have much rather had Sean Lineen in temporary charge.
