Mark Connolly Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hernandez at 10 ahead of Barry John, Phil Bennett, Dan Carter, Michael Lynagh? Latham ahead of guys like Cullen or Blanco ; Warburton and Lydiate in the back row? No John Eales? He always was a shite troll but this is something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Two sides naturally playing their strongest sides. I'm more hopeful of winning at Scotstoun as Edinburgh are unbeaten at home this season. However, whilst they've been good in Europe, they've been a bit more mediocre in the league but at the same time they'll raise their game as it's a derby. On paper we've got the better backs but, barring the front row, the packs are fairly even though I'd JUST give Edinburgh the edge. The likes of Ashe and M. Fagerson have been excellent so far this season but Hamish Watson and Bill Mata are established heavyweights. Edinburgh could cream us in the front row as Stuart McInally is the 1st choice Scotland hooker whereas our 2 main hookers are injured. Grant Stewart is defo one for the future but still learning the trade. Edited December 21, 2018 by come on shire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 For me the 2 sides are fairly even, obviously Glasgow stronger in the backs with Edinburgh having the better forwards. For me though the Glasgow bench is much stronger than Edinburgh's which may be the difference. If Glasgow are in contention early 2nd half, bring on the likes of Jones and Matawalu will swing the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Munster are resting most of their 1st XV tonight away to Ulster who have a full strength side out. This double header could cement the conference for Glasgow and simultaneously kill Edinburgh's playoff chances. Their best hope looks like Scarlets shite form is permanent rather than temporary.

Mark Connolly Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Ulster down to 14 with yellow straight from the kickoff. Should probably have been red. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 George Turner out for around 10 weeks with the ankle injury that saw him stretchered off last week, while Matawalu is the latest to sign a new deal until 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) If Glasgow can get close to matching Edinburgh’s pack, which going by their form this season they probably will, I reckon the backs will run riot.

Detournement Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hogg was lucky he didn't get done for a seatbelt which would have been a penalty try. Hastings and Grigg are so bad at passing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Glasgow were really poor tonight. Edinburgh professional and well organised which is all they required. Edited December 22, 2018 by Jaggy Snake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Glasgow back to the old problem of trying to force it wide when they haven’t got enough quick ball and go forward. Edinburgh defended well and were pretty much gifted the game. We need a big destructive ball carrier in the Mata/Nick Williams mould. The young boys may get there, but it’s the big thing that is lacking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Yet again we go to Murrayfield to play Edinburgh and put in another horror show.
