Mark Connolly Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Glasgow were absolutely superb today, that was an absolutely huge win. Especially loved Leinster bringing on their big gun front row at HT and us obliterating them at the first scrum. Johnny Gray was absolutely immense again today. His injury a few weeks back was the best possible thing to happen. Not so serious it was long term, but bad enough that he had to have a proper rest, and what a difference since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 That's a terrific pass by Price for Johnson's try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Scotland U18s just completely shit the bed against Italy there. 18-7 up with less than two minutes to go, lost 19-18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 So if Glasgow hold on to first place in the conference then the winner of Ulster v Connacht come to Scotstoun for the semi final. If it does work out like that you’d have to be confident of Glasgow making the final at Celtic Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, whereas if we don't, I believe we have to play one of Edinburgh, Bennetton or Scarlets at home, followed by Leinster in Dublin. The game against Edinburgh is massive! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 The top side from each of the two conferences are given a bye to the semi-finals and have home advantage. Teams placed second and third in opposite conferences meet in the two quarter-finals to determine the other two semi-finalists with the teams ranked second having home advantage.So if Glasgow top their conference they play the winner of 2nd in the other conference v 3rd in their conference at Scotstoun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Can’t see Treviso slipping up against zebre. Brilliant season for them, a play off space and hopefully a Heineken cup spot at the expense of a welsh team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 am i right in thinking that 4th place goes into a play off for the last European place? So at the moment Embra vs Ospreay's unless Leinster or Munster win in Europe and both get in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone say yesterday the Champion's Cup winner's league only gets an extra place if all 4 Challenge Cup semi finalists have qualified through their leagues. That won't happen this year. Edinburgh need a bonus win against Glasgow to make the Champions Cup playoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Pro 14 have 7 slots that go to the top 3 non South African sides in each conference with the two 4th place (or 5th place if a South African side in top 3)sides with the side with most points getting home advantage. If the Pro 14 get an extra slot the best 4th place (or 5th place if a South African side in top 3)side gets a place with the other 4th place (or 5th place if a South African side in top 3) plays the 5th place (or 6th place if a South African side in top 3) from the other conference at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 The conferences are apparently getting rejigged. Quote Seems there will be a re-rank for 19/20: Conference A Ireland 1 & 4 (Leinster + Connacht), Wales 2 & 3 (Scarlets + Ospreys), Scotland 1 (Glasgow), Italy 2 (Zebre), South Africa 1 (Cheetahs) Conference B Ireland 2 & 3 (Munster + Ulster), Wales 1 & 4 (Cardiff Blues + Dragons), Scotland 2 (Edinburgh), Italy 1 (Benetton), South Africa 2 (Southern Kings) A Glasgow vs Leinster battle for top spot could add some good entertainment. How the fixtures fall is arguably more important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Finally took the plunge after Glasgows result at the weekend and got tickets for the final at Parkhead. Anyone else bought tickets? Hopefully we make it now and avoid a repeat of last year in Dublin where I think more glasgow fans were in the stadium than scarlets fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Missed the news earlier that Greg "GI" Inglis had retired. The biggest physical freak to play either code of rugby IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a tenner a ticket I figured it was worth a punt! Probably jinxed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yeah, I bought some. At a tenner a ticket I figured it was worth a punt! Probably jinxed it.I got £10 tickets for section 406 as well which they were selling as "restricted view". Fairly certain my seats are in front of the big pole in that section anyway so considering the view I'll have, £10 is quite good value. Wasn't sure how long they were selling the cheap ones for so took a risk on them and figured I could get in ahead of the mass of people who'll wait until the playoffs to buy them. (worked really well when I went to Dublin last year expecting us to take care of Scarlets in the semi!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price has really come back to form after his nightmare post Cardiff. Scotland's No1 9 for me but has to watch George Horne. Can't see Edinburgh with much left to play for given other games but pride and a whitewash of Glasgow. That said beating Glasgow's would seriously harm the chances of a Scottish home team final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be any more restricted than the west stand at Scotstoun with its 11 pillars and no sight of the top of the posts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
