Wee Duncy will be fine for this tournament.

Hopefully Finn will be back for the Six Nations but Glasgow's season is done and if Hastings' shoulder did come out twice during the game it could be an issue that won't go away.

I have no problem with Weir starting it is just what happens if we lose him

It's going to he Hogg at 10 if Weir has to go off, can't see many other viable options in the squad, and with the bubble requirements it's difficult to add anybody else. (Fwiw, I don't really see Hogg as being all that viable at 10 either)

 

I did have a mad thought that Greig Laidlaw could come in, he's played at 10 a few times in Japan.

James Lang will be at 10 before Hogg, I'd have thought. He plays there regularly for Harlequins.

vander Valt would have been in the squad if he hadn't gone back to SA for his wedding (i think?) as he is eligible for the 2nd game, but needs to quarantine on his return so scuppers that. It will be Weir starting all 3 games with Lang and Hogg as back and probably wrapping Peter Horne in cotton wool just in case

It was his wedding he went back for that was meant to happen in the summer. He is due back on Sunday so his quarantine should end the day after the French game(game 2). So he should be available for the Fiji game and the final.

Glasgow defense is a sieve.

And too many mistakes close to the line.

Yeah, both lines. They don't have the power to match up to the Ulster pack and they are getting steamrolled.

Glasgow were really shite last night. It would be easier to take if it was a team of youngsters learning some hard lessons, but it's not, it's just a shit team being held together by Pete Horne and Ryan Wilson.
