Agree with the above assessment, just hope we can get a few injuries sorted and can get a slightly stronger bench than last night, where we didn't really didn't have much to offer.

What was the story with the Bennett injury last night, we were too far away to get a good view and it looked to start with as if the ref signalled a penalty to Glasgow and then restarted with a scrum?

I've never played so don't even have amateur experience to fall back on but with two minutes to go why did he try the chip over the top? Surely the percentage game would have been to keep possession and try and draw a penalty or set up a drop goal attempt. These wee chips are great when they come off but how often is that and I can only imagine teams will be getting wise to him now. Still looking forward to next weekend in Leicester, free digs with the in laws for the weekend and the results today seem to going Glasgows way

It was madness, frustration I suspect. It is a tactic of Glasgow against a fast line.

Was that not the Swinson / Murray incident. Touch judge stopped it because Murray was out cold, ref went penalty by error. He was allowed back onto pitch after passing HIA1 and 2 which was disgraceful. World Rugby are going to investigate the incident as any player knocked out should not be put through an HIA but withdrawn.

Yep he should have been hooked immediately.

The table as it is now

 

wp_ss_20170115_0001.png

as it looks like it misses out the points 

Wasps 17 pts away to Zebre 

Toulon 15pts away to Saracens 

Glasgow 14pts away to Leicester

Exeter 11pts away to Clermont 

Montpellier 11pts home to Northampton

some 3rd place sides have a chance 

Toulouse (same group as Wasps) 14pts home to Connacht

Scarlets (same group as Toulon)10pts  away to Sale

Castres (same group as Montpellier)10pts home to Leinster

Bordeaux (same group as Exeter)10pts away to Ulster

Ulster and Northampton are both 4th on 9pts in there groups and still have a slight chance ( need to win 2nd in there group lose and Glasgow get opts) to finish as the 4th best runner up

Think they're both out as its only best three runners up who qualify, watched the last half hour of their game tonight and the commentators spoke about them both getting knocked out at the end.

they are both as good as out but make it on points difference with a major miracle

It's an article about nothing. Criticises three incidents then says on second viewing they aren't as bad as they initially looked.
We know Glasgow are doing something right when we get the Irish in a flap. They realise we're a real threat to them now.

Munster allowing Murray to play on after being knocked out was far more dangerous than anything Glasgow did. None of the tackles on Murray were illegally late, the players were legitimately committed. He also got himself knocked out twice by tackling like an idiot. Oh and the likes of quinlan n munster calling Glasgow out for cynical is like the Yorkshire ripper slagging off benny hill for his attitude to women. Irish teams have had too many pet refs in Pro12 and encountering actual neutral ones in Europe is a shock to their system.

The bit about Benny Hill made me lol.

Shock, horror, opposition try to unsettle one of other teams best players, why hasn't someone thought of that before last Saturday?

Only surprise is Dickinson missing, is he still injured and going to miss the 6 nations?

I would also have included another fly half, either Jackson or Horne as you know Weir isn't going to get on if he is on the bench.

I expect Laidlaw will cover 10 at a push.

I'm obviously not saying he should be there (and could theoretically still be called up as cover once injured players drop out) but other than when he was injured in 2008, I think that’s the first six nations squad since 2004 not to include Sean Lamont.
