Leinster getting schooled in SA is extremely enjoyable

Edit to add - Although just noticed this puts the Bulls up to 5th, so assume if it stays like this we play them in the quarters, hopefully Munster or Connaught win tonight to go above them in the table

Ref is having a nightmare. Games like this show how much power they have because Connacht haven't really done anything, just played for set piece and waited for him to give them penalties.

So the URC play offs are as follows

Glasgow v Munster

Leinster v Sharks

Stormers v Bulls

Ulster v Connacht

 

So looking like Glasgow will finish their season with a loss in Dublin for the 2nd year running :)

We probably have a chance of winning there is we have the full squad fit, and Leinster are still reeling from there drubbing last weekend, and Toulouse & the Sharks take out a few. We do seem to be struggling for numbers 

Big end to the season for Glasgow, a win against Scarlets this weekend to set up a final vs Benneton or Toulon, this is probably our best season since we lost Finn, Johnny  and Hoggy. Franco Smith has done a great job turning this team around, giving us a solid forward pack, and keeping the backs playing exciting rugby. Also a big shout out to Tom Jordan who has grown thought the season and having started nearly every game has put in a shift at 10. At the start of the season I expected Thompson and Miotti to be battling it out for the 10 jersey with Weir and Jordan (who I had no idea about at the start of the year) as back ups, however with Thompson missing nearly the whole year through injury and Miotti hardly featuring Jordan has kept things ticking over, will be interesting to see how things pan out next season.

Also noted Walter Fifita has left by mutual consent, think he only played twice, and for a margue signing probably one of the biggest dissapointments.

Greig Laidlaw has announced his retirement. 
 

Arguably Scotland’s best captain of the professional era and an all round top bloke - was lucky enough to get to chat to him recently at an event around the HK Sevens and he was really friendly and down to earth.

Wayne Barnes with exactly the start he was selected for. Ignored three or four blatant penalties to Toulouse, before giving the next blatant penalty to Toulouse to Leinster instead because a Leinster player shouted at him.
