afca32 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Disappointed to see so many negative comments about Finn. He's had a couple of stinkers yes, but his quality is not in any doubt and I'm sure he'll be back against England. As for Hogg, I thought he was decent enough yesterday. He scared the shit out of the French when he had the ball. I thought Jones, Gilchrist and Pete Horne were the standouts. Great result that saved a potentially disastrous tournament. Good to see George Horne staying at Glasgow another season. Going to be a great battle between him and Price next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Don't think anyone questioned his quality tbf, but it's fair comment to say he has been poor in the last 2 games. Can't think of many positives that he done, which is very unusual. Even for Glasgow, when he has a poor game he usually manages to come up with a couple of bits of quality. Wonder if his head is right with his move to France getting closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 To be fair to Russell, despite having only lost one game all season Glasgow haven’t really performed that well at all this season. Maybe cheetahs away and Munster at home being the games where things seemed to click for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'd start Price and Laidlaw together against England. Laidlaw at 10 could be a masterstroke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'd start Price and Laidlaw together against England. Laidlaw at 10 could be a masterstroke. I take it you have forgotten the games he played there previously? It was horrible to watch big forwards running over the top of him for fun, he's to small to play a full match there. Plus he isn't actually that good a 10 which is why he went back to scrum half as soon Jackson came on the sceneSent from my Redmi 4X using Pie and Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Russell has been poor the last couple of games, so he can't be the answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 What a day at Murrayfield. Great win. After last weekend I think we needed a BP win to still have a shot at the title but it was very important to recover from Cardiff or else the critics and relegation merchants would perk up. Greig Laidlaw was like a conductor with his orchestra. In these better times his cool head leadership philosophy is 2nd to none. I'd even consider having Ali at 9 and Greig mentoring him at 10. Greig had his first handful of caps at 10 when Chris Cusiter was at 9 including when we beat Oz on their own patch in 2012. However the forward pack were just as instrumental in getting the win especially Gray and Gilchrist. At the end when the ref turned over the maul to us was what won us the game. Forwards take a bow. Finn was very self indulgent again. He can do something to just about cost you a game but on the other hand he can win you a game when on form. He's like Niko's Scottish cousin. On a final note, it's a very forward and physically orientated France team these days but Teddy Thomas is one of the greatest wingers to ever have visited Murrayfield. Serge Blanco-esque. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Have to admit to being surprised at this, for all that I don't think Hogg has played badly, he hasn't made many really massive breaks over the 2 games. Thought the French looked like they were bricking it any time he got the ball in the second half on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Denton leaving Worcester at the end of the season, perhaps a move back to Scotland for him and more game time? Taqele Naiyaravoro moving to Northampton next season. So much for playing in Australia to keep a place in their national team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Apparently dropped though as one of the lads in an "altercation" after the match in Edinburgh. A shame as he's lit up the tournament so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
