Wayne Barnes… gone!

Retiring after the Wales v Barbarians game I think - was announced a while back, IIRC, which was why a few folk were saying he was refereeing quite fairly as he didn't give a shiny shit what Rassie, Eddie, Andy or whomever had to say about his performances. 

Incidentally, why are Wales playing the Baa-Baas anyway?

Because the WRU are skint and they keep shoehorning in extra games to try to raise some cash

Glasgow's unforced error rate must be one of the highest in the league. They are very hard to watch at times.

I don't mind Jordan, but I can see why a lot of fans don't rate him. He's just not a Scottish style 10, he's neither a flashy playmaker or a stoic territorial kicker, he's more a third center.

Certainly knows how to finish from the back of the maul. That was such an odd heads gone from the stormers, tip tackles are pretty retro.

Thought it was harsh on the prop, it was the other guy who caused the tip. The first one was just fucking stupid though

Yeah, though it was the tackler who drove up I thought, he was the "lifter", but yeah, it was the other guy that caused it to go out of control. For the first one, I think the guy had already done something similar a few minutes earlier. I actually thought that one was far less dangerous, he almost realised what a twat he was being halfway through. Yellow cards for both were ok for me.

Bob Skinstad digging up Ryan Wilson for being Helen Lovejoy on commentary was enjoyable too

This was excellent. I like Skinstad, he's pretty fair whilst still showing just enough bias to the South Africans to not be grating.

Does Ryan Wilson just have the one set of clothes, he was wearing the same trackie trouser / jumper combo last week

He's only recently retired, so it's probably the only set he has that isn't Glasgow or Scotland branded!

 

 

 

And even then, the SRU probably asked for all that gear back and someone is currently sitting unpicking his initials so they can give it to someone else

Good result, pretty professional second half in the end, probably should have got the BP try, but it's always a good result to beat these guys.

Hard to be upset with 10 points from 3 games with guys coming back from the world cup, and wins over two teams who will likely be up there challenging.
