The first 15 for Glasgow is looking pretty solid now - probably still need another (decent) 2nd row, an open side  and probably another winger or 2

Props - Kebble, Fagerson, Bhatti, Bergham

Hooker - Brown, Turner, Stewart

2nd Row - Gray, Cummings (Bain, Bean, McDonald)

back row - Fagerson, Dempsey, Wilson, Gordon

Srum half - Price, Horne, Dobie

Stand off: Weir, Thompson

Centre: Jones, Johnson, Grigg,McDowall

Wing: Steyn, Jones, Seymour

Full back: McKay

I have a feeling Seymour might chuck it in the summer

I think he might be off as well, only include him as out options on the wing are pretty slim at the moment, Steyn and Jones are both very injury prone, Tagive isn't a rugby player. Nairn and Matawalu are decent back ups but not starters

The Glasgow Warriors squad for the home game to Ulster. It's the best we have. Danny Wilson said in his comments what a tough challenge it'll be based on when they beat us in Belfast. 

Maybe it's just me but I just don't get the same "we must win" attitude from Wilson that we got from say, Toony then Rennie.

Great signing for Glasgow - he can give Tommy G some competition for his mullet.  

WP Nel has signed an extension at Edinburgh too, and Edinburgh have now adopted a policy of not announcing how long for.  I think they got fed up of other clubs knowing when to come in and try to pinch them.  Edinburgh at a cross-roads when you look at signings like McKay along the M8.  I like the fact young guys are getting a shot but Edinburgh isn't really an attractive prospect for a marquee signing like that.

I think Wilson is resigned to doing nothing this year as realistically we aren't challenging for anything, and giving guys a run to build experience for next year. Toony and Rennie were in with a shout every year so every point was a prisoner.

Edinburgh are in a different situation in that they have re-signed their big names for next season so probably dont have the budget for big name signings. They have signed Lang and the other lad from Quins, and Cockerill has said there are more to come.

Also lost a couple of players too, Van De Merwe being the most notable one.  WP Nel, Mata, Watson and Ritchie are all important re-singings for sure, but we badly need another 10.

Was there not a pretty strong rumour of Glasgow signing some Scots qualified Bok monster of a second row? I'm sure one of the lads from Scottish rugby blog was tweeting about that recently. 

Not wanting to go over the same ground too much but, while I'm a fan of the blood and mud podcast Josh is hilariously one eyed when it comes to Wales. As unequivocal evidence that the Williams incident was maybe a yellow card at worst he posted a video which did not actually show the moment of first contact. It's also a "more definitive angle" in the same way those photographs that made it look like there wasn't room to move on a beach last year were from very definitive angles

The Scottish rugby blog guys went a bit Keith Jackson for a while and started linking Glasgow and Edinburgh with any Saffer who had heard of haggis.

Also, I'm absolutely stunned that the Welsh can't accept any wrongdoing on the part of one of their players.

Think it was this guy, seems like speculation though

At the risk of upsetting the usual suspects, we've got an absolute belter of a ref tonight at Scotstoun. Ulster have only been input half because he's marched them up the pitch. I was surprised he didn't join that maul.
