Big sale on Scotland kit in the SRU shop, which is normally the precursor to the release of the RWC kit...

that sounds about right as the South Africans have released theirs.

I’ve not been impressed with Macron’s efforts, which is a surprise as they usually knock bespoke football kits out the water. This purply one hasn’t been around long, has it?

 

Edit: apart from that retro one with the big collar. That was class.

The one for the 2015 RWC was phenomenal.

I think Bhatti will be the biggest miss (obviously Hogg and Dunbar are great players but Jackson  (who has played more than Hogg last few years anyway) and Johnson (who is probably better than Dunbar now) are more than adequate replacements), and a strange one him going to Edinburgh to be stuck on the bench most weeks.

Hopefully we get some decent 2nd row's in as this has been a weakness,  I think we have the lad from Newcastle coming in, but we need some presence in their. Hoping we get some decent players in as we will need cover for the 20 odd players that will be away during the world cup

Just seen the teams for Saturday. Glasgow look pretty outgunned up front, especially in the back row where we have Harley, Fagurson and Thomas Gordon going up against Barclay, Watson and Mata. Not very confident about that to be honest.

A fair point, but on the other hand, that team (with the exception of Gordon) smashed Leinster in Dublin in their last game...

Hopefully a similar performance this time then. I see Wilson is back on the bench. I'm guessing he's not fully fit, but it's a bit of experience to bring on if it's going tits up. Don't really know anything about this Gordon guy.

GAD, Thomas Gordon's a Kiwi from Rotorua. He just signed a full-time deal with Glasgow this week. Previously he was on a partnership contract with Currie Chieftains.

We have the backs to tear them apart but we need the forwards to play well this time to create opportunities. Over Xmas and NY we got creamed and had no answer to their pack.

Oddly, Richard Cockerill hasn't been in the media this time giving his expert analysis on the Glasgow team and giving Dave Rennie pointers...

I'd say that's Treviso secured 3rd place now. Scored 4 tries and leading Zebre by 19 points.

Time for Edinburgh to do the right thing and let Glasgow pick up maximum points tonight. :whistle

Edinburgh still need at least 2 points to overtake Scarlets for the European Cup playoff spot.

For maximum seethe, do it on 80:01.

Glasgow winning 28-19 to form a guard of honour and applaud John Barclay as he walks from the 22 to under the sticks for Edinburgh's bonus point try.
