come on shire Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Perpignan's team. Ex-Glasgow prop Siua Halanukanuka starts. Unsure if this is a strong team or they're focused on the Top14. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I find it mad that we are picking Jones at 12 and Tuipoltu at 13. Although both are much better outside rather than inside surely you would go with Tuiuplotu at 12 given GT only ever playes him there for Scotland? Also I take it we are expecting this to be a forward battle given we have picked 3 8's for the backrow and 6 forward subs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I was looking forward to the game and disappointed it's been switched to Murrayfield. Understand the reasons and they've offered refunds which is fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not down to the fact that Jones isn't the best defender and easier to defend the 12 channel? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, although it's probably also that the gameplan allows either of them to slot in to either role at various stages. I don't think the numbers on their backs particularly matter for that combination, unlike if it was one of them alongside Sammy J 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 If ever there was a case of "your man" in defence, it's Pesolo Tuilagi. 6'4 and 140kg? Fucking hell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Glasgow started pretty well, though really should be up already, butchered a huge chance on the line before giving away a honking penalty. If they can keep doing this and keep the pressure on they can win this well. Big ifs though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually think the space at Murrayfield will suit us a bit more against their huge pack than Scotstoun would 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Josh McKay kicks the ball like Stephen Jones used to for Wales. For anyone who doesn't remember, Jones was called Wellies, because he played like he was wearing a pair of wellies rather than boots 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should be a yellow for Perpignan as well, but good move and finish. Classic Glasgow would be now to concede.straight from kick off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thought they might get a warning at least for the one that's just happened as well, considering that was under another advantage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a standard practice in the URC this season, but not so much in the English or French leagues. Glasgow need to be smart here, and not let then drag us down with this snidey shit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On replay, think Cancelliere was a bit lucky, he did make contact with the face, although it was an attempted push, and the Perpignan guy did the same. Probably the right decision overall from the officials though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuipolotu got the ball dislodged by a player who was preparing to clear, there was no need for him to pick up and go again. Although the pass looks forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
