Jaggy Snake Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 That was better but so many of our players still look like they get a rush of blood to the head every time they get the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 If Glasgow don't sign a 10 they'd be as well not turning up next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger guys look jittery under this pressure. It's a bit like the Italy game in Rome in the spring - it was the experienced heads of Laidlaw, Barclay, Jonny Gray etc that wrangled the match our way. In previous seasons we'd have lost that. But we don't have those players this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Some ill-mannered booing there. Well done USA, deserved. They're a good side and could go on from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 To be fair, USA deserved that more than us. We did nothing in the second half until the last 10 minutes or so. Experience for some of the younger guys but very few good performances there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Aaaaaaaaaaagh. As with any team Toony has ever been involved with, it's a step and a half forwards, one step back. We just have to accept that's how it will be. A Scotland 'C' team, but a well deserved win for an improving USA side. I was a wee bit worried when I saw the starting 15 that we had slightly underestimated the Yanks, and so it proved. The first 20 minutes after half-time were a disaster...we lost all focus, looked complacent, made too many mistakes and allowed them to over-power us. We need to put in a performance next week, and I trust that we'll put out a more experienced, balanced and focused side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Scotland were absolutely shocking in that second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Dreadful 30 minutes at the start of the 2nd half. We were 2 busy trying to keep Hastings out of the way that McGinty ripped us a part and looked the best player on the park as he was getting to much space. Toony definateley underestimating US with his selection, as they were head and shoulders better than Canada last week. Having to bring Brown on the back row for example as only Denton as a replacement wasn't great. Hard to pinpoint the bad & good performances as the mistakes came from everyone in that 2nd half, even Hogg when he ran into Fagerson. Kinghorn has played himself into a squad place (where to play him though!) Turner is getting better, Horne jr was good also, Grigg had a few good runs, but overall its a good workout given 7 players their first starts, and probably the majority of the first choice players are not on the tour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Warriors supported group XVI Warrior has a meeting this week with Glasgow and the SRU regarding the concerns over ticket pricing and the whole silver Saturday/Glasgow losing a home game issue, and the general feeling that they are taking the fans for granted. The twitter page for XVI Warrior also has an e-mail from the club regarding a lot of the complaints following the release of season ticket and fixture details. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) That USA game was disappointing but starting to come round to the idea that it was USA's strongest team and a Scotland "experimental" XV. For morale, we really need to bounce back vs Argentina on Sat night though. Domestically, it's European draw day at 2pm I believe. Challenge Cup followed by Champions Cup. There's one delightful scenario where Glasgow could draw Newcastle (down and back in a day) and also Bath (spa town to treat the gf). It would, however, also mean getting the French champs, Castres. I'd fancy our chances vs Castres than vs Sarries though tbh... Edited June 20, 2018 by come on shire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Glasgow have Sarries, Cardiff, and Lyon. Embra have Montpellier, Newcastle and Toulon. Not easy at all for the Scottish teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 POOL 3: Saracens, Glasgow Warriors, Lyon, Cardiff BluesPOOL 5: Montpellier, Newcastle Falcons, Edinburgh Rugby, RC Toulon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I'd say on paper it's a better draw for Glasgow. Sarries are the English Champs so they're the worst we could have pulled from Tier 1. Lyon and Cardiff both had respectable seasons (Cardiff won the Euro Challenge Cup) but we've got Cardiff's ex-head coach in the Scotland set-up with his knowledge of them. Also, Cardiff's a tricky venue but a place where we can and have won in the past. I'm jealous of the Edinburgh fans who get a wee day trip doon the A1 (along with a cheaper season ticket) to a Newcastle side who had a good season but who aren't what I'd call formidable. However, they also get the French domestic finalists and a Toulon side who are capable of MUCH more than what they've shown in the last season or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 On 6/4/2018 at 16:17, honestly united said: details of the seeding and how the draw works here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–19_European_Rugby_Champions_Cup We will be 2nd Tier, and Embra 3rd Teams in Tier 1, 2 & 3 must be from a different league (ie one English, one french and one Pro14) so we can only get Cardiff or Ulster from our league. Worst draw would be Sarries, Toulouse and Toulon, best would be Exeter, Lyon and Cardiff. I stated earlier that Lyon and Cardiff would be the best choice for 3rd and 4th seed, and if we dont beat them home and away we dont deserve to make the QF's, should come down to bp's or maybe snatching something in the home game vs Sarries to go through. Its a bit cliche but with the change in qualification there are no easy teams in the champions cup anymore, anyone finishing top half of any of the 3 leagues are going to be a quality side - we just need to ensure we are at out best for each game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
