Allan Jacobsen Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 As someone with a fondness for Stade Francais, it's always good to see Racing 92 losing. As someone who supports Glasgow, it's even better to see them winning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 You love a bit of hyperbole, don't you? Possibly. But he was shite when he came on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Not bothered about a BP tonight to be honest. We're winning at Welford Road, and we're going to do Munster at Scotstoun. Two stunning performances in the last two weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Disappointing not to get the 4th try, but I'd have gladly taken that performance and result before the match. Russell getting back to his very best, and excellent performances throughout the whole team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be a wee dick, but he knows his stuff, and people will take notice of his opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Leicester win tomorrow, and I think they might. Munster have been playing well, but I'm not convinced they are as good as everyone thinks. I'm just worried Munster now get to canter in two BP wins against Racing's under 19s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I thought Glasgow would lose when Tom English wrote that Glasgow's first half performance was tournament winning form. Tremendous result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Thought Glasgow were excellent today, 2 big wins verse state. Price seems to be above pyrgos but I can live with the hat 2 very good scrum halves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Price has certainly put his hand up in recent weeks. Glasgow have been lucky with scrum halves in the last few years, Cusiter the steady hand to Nikos Maverick and then Pyrgos coming coming through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Never watched it tonight but did Leone play tonight and if so, how was he? Breaks my heart seeing him in that horrid Racing kit. *edit* seems he did. Was he good? Edited December 16, 2016 by Allan Jacobsen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Leone I don't think suits playing with them. He did play tonight and was smothered as soon as he came in to contact with the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was even throwing out a few cheap shots, which I don't remember being part of his game with us. Also, they play a slow style of rugby that good teams haven't been playing for a while now. It was all about bulk for them today, but the era of the 24 stone prop is over by now surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow have been lucky with scrum halves in the last few years, Cusiter the steady hand to Nikos Maverick and then Pyrgos coming coming through. George Horne has potential to be the best of the lot. Looking excellent in Scotland 7s n was superb for Scotland u20s. Slick fast past off both hands pacey n not shy of getting stuck in even tho hes only wee. Having toony in charge at murrayfield will hopefully see laidlaw given his gold watch n allow likes of price n Horne to take over. Price had a tough one v connacht last season but he has learned from it and has clearly had a massive confidence boost since his excellent cameo v Georgia. Future looking v bright at half back with adam Hastings n peter horne hopefully being back up to finn in future ( anyone but gatland would seriously have to look at finn for lions ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played for the neath side that was just about unbeatable and alongside being superb in loose he was a really good scrummager. Can't mind his name though I'm sure he died at quite a young age. Barely see scrum halfs at that weight now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His opposite number was David Sole who himself was just around 16st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Peter wright saying the Scotland guys used to add an extra stone onto their official stats to try to mess with opponents heads! Looking back at games from 80s n 90s it's amazing how skinny guys were. Totally different sport. Showed my wee lad some old Scotland games n he couldn't believe the number of line breaks n how much space their was.....or how brutal rucking was then! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Fantastic result for Glasgow last night! Gutted I had to miss it for my works Christmas do. But hey, drunk and Glasgow win, I'll take that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
