Highest ranked side gets firSt pick IMO that doesn't give enough incentive to and reward for finishing higher up the league table. I thought the neutral venue finals meant there was no difference between finishing first or second and I much prefer a big reward. Still, in the last two season Munster and Glasgow have won away semis and finals, with Munster winning an away QF too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a reward for putting your resources into finishing higher up the table. I think that's where Leinster went wrong this season. They focused on Champions Cup, managing their squad rotation at the expense of the URC and came a cropper. It's an absolutely astounding achievement by Glasgow (and by Munster the season before). Made all the sweeter, by the fact it had to be done "the hard way". Glasgow have shown, that there is no reason why the Scottish clubs shouldn't be dining at the same table as the Bulls, Stormers, Leinster and Munster. Forza Glasgow and pull yer finger oot Edinburgh! aDONis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Kinghorn starting at 11 again for Toulouse in the Top14 final vs Bordeaux. If Toulouse win they'll be in Tier 1 with Glasgow for the European Champions Cup pool draw which means we won't draw them. Also TNT Sports are showing all of Scotland's summer and autumn games. However the BBC Sport Scotland channel are also showing the Chile and Uruguay games in July. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Another magnificent display of officiating in the top 14 final as they completely ignore a blatant forward pass in the build up to the first try because they were desperate to send somebody off instead. Ref pretty much only has eyes for one team again and the game will be over by half time. Bit depressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Brutal European draw for Glasgow. The other URC team in our pool is the Stormers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Edinburgh have drawn Georgia's Black Lion so they have a meeting with their old head coach Richard Cockerill. Obviously Edinburgh can't play Scarlets as they're in the URC. Edited July 2 by come on shire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
