Where else are they going to play though?

Until they can make arrangements to get the track at Scotstoun to f**k, and put the end stands in permanently, there isn't really a suitable ground in the city

They should have invested in a stadium years ago. At the least it would be good to see the derby against Edinburgh played at Hampden.

They had no money because they were still paying off Murrayfield until the current BT sponsorship deal paid that off.

I agree that a custom built ground would be ideal, but I can't see it happening for a while sadly.

Ideally they would f**k the track off, take the north stand down and build a new one closer to the pitch. Maybe replicating the one opposite. Then you could have terracing behind one set of posts and a stand behind the other.

Anyway, just bought my ticket. Been following since the late Lineen years but small children have made going pretty difficult. Really looking forward to it - who do you think would be the preferable winner tomorrow? Leinster might be a bit broken, but i’d say they are a better team than Munster.

Glaswegians griping about playing in the wrong size of stadium are going to get little sympathy from their friends in the capital.


But the idea of moving “event” games to a big football ground seems to work elsewhere.

Would like to avoid Leinster but can’t see it. They’re the strongest pro14 team I think.

Looking at the ages of the squad there is definitely an opportunity for this team to progress. Price just turned 26, Steyn is 25, Sam Johnson is 25, Jonny Gray is 25, Huw Jones is 25, George Horne is 24, D'Arcy Rae is 24, Zander F is 23, Hastings is 22, Cummings is 22, Matt Fagerson is 20. That's 11 players who are already very good by the standard of the league and will get better (as I said before it's a huge shame that Bhatti is leaving).

You also have Andrew Davidson, 22 coming in who looks very good and Stafford McDowall who is 21 and has shown huge potential. The back 3 is the only part of the team that needs freshening up with Tommy, DTH, Niko and Jackson all over 30.

Leo Cullen seems like a nice guy so this is probably just a bad joke but it's the last thing we need ahead of this final.

He's always been a classless dick, so no surprise he's coming out with pish like this.

Munster really are shite...

I missed the first 20 but i'm not sure I actually saw any backs play from Munster. I saw a lot of Farrell crash ball and occasionally Earls coming off his wing to get involved but it resembled League more than it did the game last night.

Leinster weren't great but their first try was decent and they got some important penalties when required.

Munster just bashed and bashed. Never got near the try line. I'm still fuming that this utter dross beat Edinburgh in Murrayfield. They are the epitomy of anti rugby. Leinster did good considering week they have had. If it's a dry night in Glasgow next Saturday I can only see one winner. And they won't be Irish.
