come on shire Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 1 hour ago, GAD said: Does it make much difference to Glasgow if Saracens beat Cardiff twice? I guess it would be better if Cardiff denied them the bonus points, but we'd need to win at Saracens either way to win the group I expect? On paper I'd say Sarries are the best team in the group though. So if they have 1st wrapped up and we go there needing something my thinking is that Sarries will rest their big players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I knew you'd be happy after Glasgow and Leinster's wins. Let's hope Saracens get fucked, although they have a habit of saving games late on! We can win this group. Saracens are pulling away now and in fairness to be expected. All I'm saying, and said at time, was that Glasgow not getting a BP at home was hugely disappointing and they let themselves down. Home ties in the competition are huge and good teams should peak in them. Eg Edinburgh scored 40 at home to Toulon, unlikely it will happen away. Missed opportunity for Glasgow yet I was roundly berated by much negativity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by the time we play them again we'll both be assured of progression into the next round. Lyon will have jacked it in and probably rest players for the top 14 and Cardiff are pure gubbins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 When they are playing like this I have to agree but I don't like taking the weather out of sport. Racing are playing like the Barbarians here. So many off loads already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Sam Grove White(has not be at the opening 2 rounds of the sevens but will be back when they restart next year) and Dave Sutherland (new name to me) as his assistants. Also Ben Blain (another new name to me) in charge of Zebre V Enisei.

David990 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The next matches for Glasgow and Edinburgh are both theirs for the taking. Glasgow win with a TBP and they're guaranteed 2nd spot. However, if Cardiff do us a favour and win, even with Saracens getting a LBP we'd be tied with them going into the last 2 rounds. Edinburgh win and they'd be looking at being on 16/15 points depending on the TBP with their closest rivals being on 10/11 points. They'd need to win at least 1 more to guarantee top spot. Exciting times a head for Scottish rugby in Europe. Chances of both teams in the QFs is pretty high at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 9 points from the next two games should put Glasgow through. If Scarlets can win in Ulster on Friday that would be very good for both Scottish teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Not exactly rugby related but Eleven Sports which bought La Liga and Serie A rights is on the verge of going bust in the UK. It would be interesting to know many subscribers Premier/Eir Sports have and whether the deal is viable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
