Biggest problem for Glasgow in first euro game will be how much energy was expended last weekend. The last twenty min was torturous for the players and they left everything on the park. Even subs looked gassed. Really unlucky to have a fixture like that before euro games.

What does anyone think of the Pro14 plan to give the 7th Champions Cup place to the winners of a play off game between the two teams who come fourth in each conference after the SA teams have been discounted?

I like it. It gives incentive to teams trying to capture that 4th place even if they are several points behind the other 4th place team.

Don't think it was much different last time, tbf.

Due to the odd set-up we should really make QFs: all it would take is a victory over Samoa or most obviously Tonga. Of course we drew with NZ when played in Four Nations last autumn (last game we played!).

EDIT: Also disappointing only England games will be shown live on BBC, plus 1 QF/1 SF/Final, and only Wales games covered live on radio.

Don't Premier Sports have the rights to this? Perhaps their free channel FreeSports will show some of it? It's been showing NHL and NRL as well as Belgian and Argentinean football.

And two were born in NZ and have played for France 

Premier Sports have the rights to all non England games unto the final.

Will Greenwood and his chums were previewing the European games before Pau v Gloucester last night.  They sung the praises of the Chiefs and Leinster but only a one sentence quip about Glasgow being possible dark horses and that was it...

Booked up for Exeter.  Must be the most infuriating place for a match.  The ground is right beside the M5 motorway which in turn is a good 3 miles outside the city centre.  Loads of events this weekend with an Oktoberfest event, a half marathon and a classical music festival.  Can't be bothered with the rigmarole of a hotel in the city so using motorway services accommodation near the ground. 

Massive but very hard game.  Whilst being very disappointing, a losing BP may not be the worst thing in the world to start with.  However, we have to believe that the game's winnable.  Thomas "the tank engine" Waldrom is out injured as is Jack Nowell.  Their big 2nd row Geoff Parling is off to the Melbourne Rebels to boot.  So if we play well then we have a chance imho.

My son and his pals are away this morning, think they are planning on going to a pub called the Hole in the Wall and that Exeter will be running buses from there.

The Warriors supporters club Facebook page has info re different pubs and places they are planning to meet at.

Bhatti over Allan again?? Has he got incriminating pics of Rennie?? In all seriousness it can't be doing his confidence any good being monstered in scrum every week. Would prefer to seem him out of spotlight playing in BT prem to build his scrummagging skills.

Bhatti was in the Scotland training camp ahead of McCallum which I find astonishing. Every so often a lad comes through the system who ticks every box for strength n fitness testing but isn't that great at rugby. Hoping that's not what bhatti is. I'd defo take him out of spotlight for a few weeks. Alex Allan did a decent job against cheetahs so should be starting for me....not sure where Ryan grant is fitness wise.
