Barclay is injured
Wilson is to lightweight
Strauss is no where on toonies radar
Denton still has no hands



who’s your starting back row

According to Mark Palmer our coaches are keeping a very close eye on Blade Thomson at the Scarlets.

Even if he doesn't deserve it but is keen - cap him before he gets ideas of qualifying for Wales.

I know you're probs joking but I really hope not. If he deserves a spot then fine

[Mikey Brown]

Good to see Jones. I'd have liked to see Fagerson in at 6 but maybe hasn't had much game time?

Frisby on the bench as a 10?

[General Zod]

Some try, that! Got my in-laws at the game whatsapping away - come on, Glasgow, get intae them!

[General Zod]

Please not an injury to Seymour there. Hopefully just winded.

[General Zod]

Fagerson fell awkwardly there. Good try Seymour just before that.

[General Zod]

Think Fagerson’s bust his ankle. Carted off. Shame.

[General Zod]

A good win. Played well, although scrum went a wee bit with all the replacements.

Seymour looks back on his game, Jones looked a little rusty in his cameo. Cheetahs will be alright this season, particularly once the Currie Cup is finished.

[whatisthejava]

Good result for the weeg, I thought right before the full backs yellow that Glasgow would get pumped.

[Cameo]

Glasgow should play away at Cheetahs every week. That's two great to watch matches there in a row

[General Zod]

BBB away??

Would be gutted - I think he’ll turn into a quality player and exactly what Glasgow need in the Heineken cup.

Edit - how long until he becomes SQ?

pooh!

Glasgow Warriors' Stuart Hogg is set to miss Scotland's autumn Test series after undergoing surgery on his ankle.

The full-back picked up the injury early in Glasgow's win over Munster on 7 September but carried on to play most of the match.

He travelled to South Africa but did not feature in Warriors' Pro14 win over Cheetahs.

Hogg was sent back to Scotland for surgery and is now set to be out for about 10-12 weeks.

"I'm gutted to be missing some important games for Glasgow Warriors and Scotland over the next few months," he told the Warriors website.

"My focus just now is working hard and getting fit, so I can play my part in what is a long season."

Scotland face Wales in Cardiff on 3 November before taking on Fiji, South Africa and Argentina at Murrayfield.

Fagerson unlikely to feature
Hogg's Warriors team-mate Zander Fagerson is unlikely to feature in the Tests because of a lower-leg fracture sustained in the victory over Cheetahs.

The tight-head prop, 22, faces "months rather than weeks" out, according to defence coach Kenny Murray.

He said Fagerson had undergone "a really successful operation" but that it "takes a big man like that a bit of time to recover".

Two-time British and Irish Lion Hogg missed the Bloemfontein win and tweeted on Monday that he was "pretty frustrated to be heading home" as he faced "another challenge to get the ankle sorted and get back fit".

After withdrawing from the 2017 Lions tour of New Zealand with a facial injury, he missed chunks of last season through respective shoulder and hip problems.

Gregor Townsend's Scots begin their autumn programme in Cardiff in a match held in honour of former Scotland and Lions lock Doddie Weir, who has motor neurone disease.

They then host Fiji, South Africa and Argentina on consecutive Saturdays.

Glasgow 'big enough and tough enough'
Stuart Hogg tweet

[Mikey Brown]

That is a big shame, but at the same time I’m quite keen to see what Kinghorn can do with an extended run and keep looking at who can really claim that 11 shirt. Maitland isn’t currently looking like getting a massive amount of game time at Saracens.

Did anyone see what happened?

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Why the f*ck did they arse around taking him to South Africa?

Most days you think Scottish rugby is turning a real page then some days you get utter idiocy like that.

[Mikey Brown]

Link anyone?

Cricfree ones don't seem to work for me anymore.

[ARM]

Don’t bother. Utter muck.
Kings have a BP after 20mins.

[BlackCat1978]

What the fuck is going on!?
Back row is terrible, Horne gash, and as for Frisby! Disgraceful!
Make changes now!

[ARM]

Slight reprieve for Weeg with try chalked off but still three tries down.

Showing lack of strength in depth with handless muppets like Turner and Peterson on the park; Frisby having a stinker and midfield defence AWOL

[Mikey Brown]

Ugh. Yeah, maybe not then.

[ARM]

Rennie hooks Turner and Peterson after 30mins for Brown and Harley. Quite right

[Mikey Brown]

When is young Brian back?

[ARM]

When is young Brian back?

Fuck knows. Rumours that he’s off to Toulon. Don’t think Rennie fancies him as he’s a permanent sicknote. Mind you Peterson has never been anything better than average in his whole time at Glasgow. And he’s getting worse. Slow, no hands and brainless.

[BlackCat1978]

Ironically, I still can see them win this, but he needs to put Hastings, Cummings, Price on now!

[BlackCat1978]

Frisby is absolutely rotten
