And then do that. Line-out has been shite from what I was hearing on the radio commentary. 

Rambo is miles away from playing for Scotland again.

I wanted to see the ruck on the goal line after Hoyland's tackle because it looked like the Sarries player was offside when he made the tackle but surprise, surprise no replay. The counter ruck after the drop out was a joke and probably rattled Edinburgh.

McInally is a complete diddy.

4 bad throws in a row putting Edinburgh on the back foot.

He looked really good in the loose, and had a good few turnovers. but as you's have said his throwing is horrendous. Out of all our hookers I think Cherry's throwing is maybe the best, but he's not great either. Brown and Turner arent much better than McInally either.

Whatever happened to Dylan Richardson, he was another hooker / flanker wasnt he?

this might be a radical thought but our problem at hooker seams to be caused by the fact most our hookers, are converted flankers

GIven that they have all been hookers for nearly a decade and must practice a lot I don't see how it can be down to that.

It's being a bottle merchant rather than what position they played as a teenager.

I find it mad that we are picking Jones at 12 and Tuipoltu at 13. Although both are much better outside rather than inside surely you would go with Tuiuplotu at 12 given GT only ever playes him there for Scotland?

Also I take it we are expecting this to be a forward battle given we have picked 3 8's for the backrow and 6 forward subs.

Is that not down to the fact that Jones isn't the best defender and easier to defend the 12 channel?

Possibly, although it's probably also that the gameplan allows either of them to slot in to either role at various stages. I don't think the numbers on their backs particularly matter for that combination, unlike if it was one of them alongside Sammy J

Glasgow started pretty well, though really should be up already, butchered a huge chance on the line before giving away a honking penalty. If they can keep doing this and keep the pressure on they can win this well. Big ifs though!
