John Hardie hasn’t managed to pick up a contract at Clermont. Wouldn’t mind having him at Glasgow.

 

Cracking player. But get the feeling the SRU have washed their hands of him after what happened and his departure from Edinburgh. Hope I'm wrong though.

Reckon you may be right. Don't think the SRU will be willing to offer him a contract, however Toonie still wants him to play for Scotland. A "til the end of the season" contract with Glasgow would see him still play games, maintaining match fitness, be in for a shout with Scotland whilst bolstering our back-row. Imagine a back-row of Hardie, Gibbons and Wilson. We've seen how effective having two 7s on the pitch can be with Scotland. Would love to see him play at Glasgow.

Our back row strength in depth is marvellous atm.  To bring in John Hardie would allow for more competition which is a good thing.  We also have Adam Ashe on terrific form too with Rob Harley in the mix.  Anyone know what's happened to the new American lad we brought in?  Has he been injured?

Blow to lose Hoggy.  However, Jacko stepped up and did a great job this time last season when Hoggy got injured.  I think it'll be Jacko and Kinghorn that compete for the 15 shirt for the autumn tests.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that he turned up over weight and unfit, so he’s being blasted to get match fit. Maybe see him against Zebre/dragons at home. Maybe.

Vern Cotter is the driving force behind the Montpellier move. Rumour has it if Hogg goes he’ll become the highest paid player in Europe. Guess it would depend on how much he’d like to stay or how much he’d like to work with Vern again. Or how much money they offer :lol:

There were rumours about Glasgow having the young Italian fullback lined up to replace Hogg but he's out for ages with an ACL.

Cheetahs looked much better tonight but still completely blew a win against Ulster. Pen on the halfway line, 4 minutes to go, 4 points up.  They chose to kick the three points rather than back their maul which had scored two tries already. Game ended a draw.

Had a wee look at the Munsterfans forum. They really hate the Scotstoun crowd :lol:

compared the blooos fans to Glasgow with the booing. Classy lot there :rolleyes:

Blooos were brilliant tonight. Did the full 80 what we did to them rather than just 40 and that was near enough a full strength Munster side. HCCup is going to be tasty.
