Tuipolotu has won me over big time. I used to think he was another Nick Grigg, but he's absolutely class and teams genuinely fear him.

Agree. He gets better every time he plays.

Any two from him, Jones, McDowall and Johnson is outstanding depth

That was a fucking great match, really enjoyable stuff and, whisper it, but Glasgow might be back. There was some glorious rugby there. Whole backline were brilliant, and the forwards did their jobs against tough opposition.

Was actually thinking that, as shite as Miotti's pass was, giving us a bit more room to attack wasn't necessarily a bad thing

Ha, same here, Glasgow are far more dangerous from 25 meters than they are from 3.

That was a really good match and harks back to some of the Glasgow of old with dynamic running. I thought Tuipulotu was great all game too. That grubber kick through at the end was perfectly judged.  

I'm not saying Glasgow are back, they are however far better drilled under Smith than the rabble we saw at the tail end of last season. Glasgow badly need someone who is decent with the boot however for place kicking.

Great performance and result from Glasgow. We managed to match them physically up front, and the backs looked dangerous. Thought Jones was excellent, will be giving GT headaches if he keeps it up. Discipline was good (maybe co-commentator is a good move for Wilson) given how poor Brace is, and to see us win scrum penalaites in the last 5 minutes is a good sign, all the while still being willing to run the ball from our own 22 when there was only a couple of points in the game.

I'll admit I was a bit meh on Smith as head coach, but he seems to be doing well. Seems to have kept the good things we were doing (ie the attack) and has worked to improve the area's we were not as good (ie physicallity / defence / etc)

I'm not sure he wasn't just guessing a few of those scrum penalties. I didn't understand a couple of them. I don't know if the ARs were calling it, but quite a few offsides missed- even one in the run up to Kyle Steyn's score which ironically helped a little.
