Glasgow are certainly stumbling towards the end of the season, much of the attacking play has been very frantic and as mentioned they were trying to force it far too much at times last night, and that caused a load of handling errors. Can only hope they can recover the early season form by the time the playoff comes around.

I didn’t see last nights game but every pass or play doesn’t need to be a “worldie” It’s maybe not Harlem Globetrotters rugby but what’s wrong with keeping the ball and building pressure on the opposition

Ulster beat Munster.

Glasgow leading by 14 points with 10s left, only for Edinburgh to score their 4th try to get both BPs and get it right up Ulster.

Maximum seethe would require Niko being added to the bench late to allow him to throw an interception for the 4th Embra try.

Munster's home grounds are a bit like Scotstoun and similar places tbh, in that it's a rare day when they lose at home.  Really can't see Ulster getting a BP win at Munster to be totally honest.  Therefore, Edinburgh SHOULD be ok.

As for the game itself, I'm going and hoping for a Warriors win to breed confidence for the home play-off and to keep the 1872 Cup away from the dark end of the M8.

I see Niko is playing for Stirling County in the BT Cup final tomorrow. I know players are assigned a team and will appear occasionally throughout the season but just doesn't seem right for a  final. Just looks like a ploy to get more Glasgow fans to turn up early for both matches.

He's only played like 2 games for them all season, one of them being the semi where he ran the show. He's been in the majority of Glasgow squads so not lacking game time but Melrose are so far ahead it might even things up.
