Good work. Glasgow have been missing a player like him who can smash some serious back.

I don’t think it was an awful foul but I don’t think it was legal or particularly productive.

Make up your mind.

You being serious?

No, just incredibly dull. I misread 'smash some serious back'

Team for Exeter.
Strongest side for a while albeit a few coming back from injury. Hopefully not too many injuries in this game given that most of the Test starting backs are playing. I do wonder whether Glasgow’s hard artificial pitch contributes to higher injury rate.

15. Stuart Hogg (102) (32)

14. Tommy Seymour (110) (30)

13. Huw Jones (5) (2)

12. Alex Dunbar (107) (25)

11. Leonardo Sarto (17) (10)

10. Finn Russell (75) (23)

9. George Horne (13) (3)

1. Jamie Bhatti (21) (5)

2. George Turner (13) (4)

3. Siua Halanukonuka (8) (3)

Good to see some of those names back. Strong team. If Glasgow win, I wonder if there will be no Aviva Premiership teams in the next round. They’ll have to change the rules again!

I chuckle everyone I see Harley named or spoken about in the second row.

Still surprised that Rae doesn't get a start. Wonder if this means that McCallum is on the bench for Sco?

Post by **OptimisticJock** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:02 pm

Typical. Lovely though.

hugh_woatmeigh · Post by **hugh_woatmeigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:03 pm

Proper Glasgow try. Backline stars Russell, Horne and Hogg create a try out of nothing.

Too bad Horne ain't good enough for Scotland.

hugh_woatmeigh · Post by **hugh_woatmeigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:04 pm

Of course much like Scotland they're done for holding on on the kick off. Exeter do not go for the 3...

Post by **OptimisticJock** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:05 pm

Why would you need Horne when you have Pyrgos and Fowles?

Post by **OptimisticJock** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:09 pm

Encouraging from Seymour. Sarto try saver opposite too.

hugh_woatmeigh · Post by **hugh_woatmeigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:09 pm

That was a superb try saving tackle from Tommy. One of those 'Russell' moments creating the chance.

George Turner also appears to be gubbed. Scott Lawson benching for Wales at this rate?

hugh_woatmeigh · Post by **hugh_woatmeigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:12 pm

The nuke is looking like an awful signing. Not because he's a bad player but because he quite clearly needs a pre-season with Glasgow to get up to the fitness required to play their game plan. The timing was just not right. He practically walks around the park.

hugh_woatmeigh · Post by **hugh_woatmeigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:18 pm

Dunbar looks like he's taken a knee to the head.

Looked like head to ground. As said above this artificial surface causes injuries

Post by **OptimisticJock** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:21 pm

I'm sure I've said before but Scottish teams seemtotake a disproportionate amount of injuries.

Post by **OptimisticJock** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:31 pm

That was great work from jones after I thought he'd fucked it up.

Post by **OptimisticJock** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 1:37 pm

Mini Horne tackled without the ball?

ETA: Nowhere near it.

Post by **OptimisticJock** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 2:25 pm

Harsh.

Rugby in general has some pretty harsh rules in the red zone.

I wish Scotland had a Sam Simmonds.

hugh_woatmeigh · Post by **hugh_woatmeigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 2:34 pm

Holy f*ck.

That has to be one of the tries of the season? And all off the back of a botched over-thrown line out on the weeg 5m.

Horne Jr is a special, special talent. Toony has made a huge mistake IMO. If he was worried about taking all 3 Glasgow scrummies he could have quite easily left them with Pyrgos.

Hogg, Russell, Seymour, Horne Sr & J Gray all playing very well.

AND JUST AS I FINISH TYPING THEY SCORE ANOTHER LENGTH OF THE FIELD TRY

hugh_woatmeigh · Post by **hugh_woatmeigh** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 2:34 pm

Horne Jr right in the thick of it again. Toony what have you done, man?

Mikey Brown · Post by **Mikey Brown** » Sat Jan 20, 2018 2:36 pm

Wow.

Fagerson is going to be fucking good too, right? He’s been everywhere, he’s got an engine on him.
