Could do with another score here, just to take the sting out of them again

Benny wenny changed the momentum big time when he disallowed that try, but to be fair, I think we've taken the sting out it again.

I didn't manage to see it but very promising signs from Glasgow. Thompson, McLean, Forbes and Dobie have refreshed the backs and it sounds like Dempsey will provide a bit of carrying edge in the back row. How did Murray McCallum play?

As for Edinburgh they obviously haven't got rid of the old bad habits. They maybe need to move on from Jaco who I like but he's not a match winner.

Adam Hastings got MOTM for Gloucester today so hopefully he can kick on after not having a great final season at Glasgow.

Brilliant game between Watsonians and Boroughmuir, finishing 35-29. Some quality young players in that Boroughmuir side, none moreso than Rhys Tait who I'd expect to be involved with Glasgow soon if he keeps playing like that.

Scott Cummings out for 6-8 weeks after surgery to hand injury. Thats a blow of the AI's.

Glasgow team for this weekend, that back line looks good, would rather Tuipulotu in for Grigg, but players cant play every game now so good to have Grigg in for a run.

Glasgow Warriors (v the Lions at Scotstoun, Saturday 3.05pm): C Forbes; K Steyn, N Grigg, S Johnson, R McLean; R Thompson, J Dobie; J Bhatti, F Brown, M McCallum, L Bean, R Gray, R Wilson, R Darge, J Dempsey. Substitutes: J Matthews, B Thyer, M Walker, R Harley, M Fagerson, G Horne, D Weir, S Tuipulotu.

Unavailable for selection: Simon Berghan, Sebastian Cancelliere, Scott Cummings,  Zander Fagerson, Oli Kebble, Tom Lambert, Kiran McDonald, Ewan McQuillin, Domingo Miotti, Ali Price, Ratu Tagive, George Turner.

Lock is the weakest position for Glasgow so a huge blow for them. Gray hasn't been playing for Exeter and Toolis is out so the second row looks wide open for the AIs.

Good to see Dobie starting and Matt Fagerson back playing. Grigg will hopefully have shed his lockdown pounds.

I know two people who suffer from colour blindness, and it's red-green for both of them. Why wait until 2027 though?

 

might be to close to the 2023 version for the change to happen at the RWC. We might see the 6 Nations bring the rule in before then

Ospreys gubbed at home by Sharks and Ulster steamrollered Bennetton in Belfast. 

The fixtures over in South Africa might mix things up but it looks like the three big Irish teams will be winning most weeks and hopefully Glasgow can stick with them. With less international clashes and fewer players in the Scotland squad than usual they should be able to keep a fairly settled side. Nae aw naw it's Frisbee and Thomson time this season.

10-6 at HT.

Glasgow with good play in attack but also a lack of control. Dobie has done a lot very well but the Lions are a tough opponent for him.

Yeah, I think Glasgow are in a bit of trouble here, struggling to get in the game. They are defending well enough, but it's going to break at some point.
