  1. Scarlets fans are absolute wanks tbf. Up there with Ulster and Munster for cuntery.
  2. That is a real statement to beat pretty much their first XV with the seconds. To do it with a man down for most of the game is even better. This could be a good year! Grigg is heavily pushing for a first team pick in the big games.
  3. This is a fabulous performance from Glasgow with 14 men.
  4. Really? I genuinely think he's one of the worst in the league. Any game I've seen him ref has been an absolute lottery as he just let's everything go at the breakdown and the offside line is non existent. The positive is we seem to win a lot when he's in charge, probably because we've had him so often we don't evan bother to try and be "cute" and just blatantly wander about offside and flop on top of every ruck from the very beginning.
  5. Yeah, but I think we can do both. Even at this stage it would take a fair collapse not to make the playoffs. We've got a bit of breathing room now and really should be using our squad depth this weekend to give ourselves the best chance of beating Lyon in the double header. Scarlets on the other hand are in danger of not even making the playoffs. They've got no choice but to put out the big guns.
  6. It is quite important for us, but not as important as the two Lyon games I'd think. Even if we lose we will still be top of the conference and we are a fair bit ahead of third place. Scarlets in the other hand are miles behind Leinster and only 4 and 7 points ahead of Ulster and Edinburgh respectively so they really need the points. You are right about that Southern Kings game though. An e tea couple of points from there and we'd have been pretty much home.
  7. From what I've read, Scarlets are only resting Owens and Parkes. All the rest are straight back in and they will be bringing a strong team. If you look at their conference this is actually a huge game for them, especially as they are already more or less out of Europe.
  8. Who are TerryChristian and Average hat stand and what did you do to them?
  9. That disallowed try was amazing.
  10. We are being talked about in a very similar way to how Wales were at the end if the last AIs. Just like then, I don't think we are anywhere near as bad as we are being made out to be. It might not do us too much harm to be back under the radar and written off just now to be honest. I don't think at any point this series did we put out our best team, even discounting injuries, and it showed. I also think we clearly used the Wales game as a vehicle to test out a pick and go forward dominated game. I'm not saying we lost on purpose, but the patterns we played were very un-townsend like, same in the first half against Fiji. I think there is more in the tank and we might get a few surprises come the 6 nations and world cup.
  11. Cardiff have been fully Glasgow'd this half. Two tries and we've only really been in their half once.
  12. Fucking game management! We have the ball, in our own half, clock red, and we are winning, so end the fucking half!
  13. Yeah, I hope so, he's a good player. There is definitely a confidence issue, probably for the first time in his career. Certainly two seasons ago he would have backed himself all the way with both those breaks. It's telling that he looked to pass both times. Grigg on the other hand looks full of confidence. He's got to be looking at a call up for Scotland soon.
  14. I feel bad for him. He hasn't even played badly. That last one was a bit unlucky as well, the Cardiff defender was lucky, he was definitely trying to knock it on!
  15. Nick Williams is a great player. It would make such a difference to Glasgow if we could dig up a guy like that at no 8.
  16. Lovely stuff there. Price did really well and Niko did what he does. It's going to be hard for the pro 14 to decide which Matawalu try to pick for try of the season.
  17. Sure Twickenham was £90 last time for me, in pretty shit seats to be honest. Surrounded by celebrating Englishmen as we got humped. Worst £90 I ever spent.
  18. It's the six nations though, the biggest and most important tournament in rugby outside of the world cup, with many of the best players and arguably the best team in the world playing in it. It's one of the biggest sporting events of the year, with each game being played in front of packed stadiums. It's a bit different from being asked to shell out £30 to watch Scotland play Isreal in a match that very much is not the pinnacle of the sport inside an empty hampden.
  19. It's not just that headbutts are fine, they basically put all the blame on Horne. It's fucking ridiculous the way certain players and teams are massively protected. You see guys like George Turner getting four weeks for running into Picamoles last season, and then you see that going unpunished. It's bullshit. Guys like Farrell, Itoje, Kolisi, the Vunipolas, the entire New Zealand and Irish teams and anyone else who might be on an advertising hoarding to sell tickets for the world cup are now completely untouchable.
  20. Who you are and who you play for are by far the biggest factor in who gets cited and what the punishment is. If that had been a Tongan during the Wales game he would be fucked.
  21. The way the journos just sat there and stared at her when she finished as well suggests it wasn't just us.
  22. That felt like something happened at the last minute that meant the original statement had to be binned, but she had to come out and say something.
  23. Yes, he's had a highly successful career in Scottish football by any definition.
  24. Barnier looking tremendously smug right now. It's causing a magnificent gammon meltdown.
