Sale's substitutions have turned the game in their favour. 

We've started making a lot of mistakes as well. Glasgow really should have put this away in the first half. Can't help but think the big sucker punch is coming now.

Refs never left you run down 3 minutes or more in pods now. Trying it in that situation is stupid, at least bring the backs for a phase without risking much. 

Big 80 minute shifts from Fagerson and Brown. 

Spot on (unless you are Leinster). The longer it went on, the more inevitable the penalty was.

Odd day at Scotstoun. Conditions were great, with little or no wind, which I certainly don't remember happening for a long time, and we absolutely dominated that game. Even when they scored, I had no doubt we would win, and then that last fucking 2 or 3 minutes happened, and I was convinced we would lose. Job done though. I actually can't see that many try bonuses coming in the games between the top 3, so it's a bit annoying we gave a losing one up today.

Special mention to Alex Ruiz, who took the French approach of not giving a f**k about the breakdown to an entirely new level today

Didn't look like getting a winning BP but giving Sale a losing BP was annoying but we got the win. If we lost we'd need to win in Exeter which isn't a gimme.

We blootered Sale's line in the 1st half for just 1 try at h/t which shows that we were poor clinically, but our discipline and graft was spot on to get the win.

A few issues. Why was Byron McGuigan trying to wind up the Glasgow players? Why did the ref not sin-bin anyone as the Sale players gave away penalties like toffee all 1st half?

Hopefully Sale win at home to La Rochelle next Sun, then they'd rest their big players for the back to back games vs us. They're 9th in the Pro14 anyways.

Papua New Guinea 28-10 Great Britain

Return of rugby league's GB Lions proves calamitous... 4 defeats to Tonga, NZ x2, PNG.
Heard them discussing it on 5 live the other week, after the Tonga defeat. Sounds like the whole thing has been a bit half arsed, only one centre in the squad, various players playing out of position, and Brian Noble said he got the distinct impression that most of the players could have seen it far enough.

Why is there a Lions for rugby league anyway? Is it not just Engkand, or is there some guy who stupidly decided to play for Scotland through his Granny or something that they wanted in the team?

RL has always been GB, they only split the home countries out now to try and fill out the world cup
