This is disheartening. I know that coaches like to play mind games with their opposition, but in my view this is beneath contempt. What a cunt.

There's an overload of cuntishness around at the moment and it looks like Leo has caught that bug

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Firstly, I'm really pleased that your boys have deservedly made the final - and in some style.
Secondly, Cullen's call on Celtic fans is crass stupidity and I hope you Weegies turn up in yer tens of thousands and do the rugby world a similar favour that Saracens did last week and shut up those one-eyed Leinster fans and send 'em home with nothing.

Not only is he a wanker, he's also wrong. There have been some avid celtic supporters over the years and continue to be. - Moray Low was a die-hard celtic fan IIRC. Most of them understandably don't publicise it

Anyone know a pub in Edinburgh near George Street or Rose Street where they will be showing the rugby on Saturday? In a spectacularly bad effort of weekend planning, I will find myself there come kick off.

Thought Kebble may have started after getting some game time last week.

Scrum still a slight Achilles heel - Fagerson is inconsistent and the B&I Lions front row is canny and capable.

49k forecast to attend.

Have to wonder if they could have pushed for a sellout if it wasn't for clashes.

50k at Celtic Park with an equivalent amount along at Hampden is a huge percentage of the Glaswegian population so that's a pretty good effort.

The teams for those who haven't seen it yet. Big call to see Tom Gordon on the bench. From Currie to the pro 14 final in around 2 months.

Glasgow Warriors: S Hogg, T Seymour, K Steyn, S Johnson, DTH van der Merwe; A Hastings, A Price; J Bhatti, F Brown, Z Fagerson, S Cummings, J Gray, R Harley, C Gibbins (capt), M Fagerson.

Replacements: G Stewart, O Kebble, S Halanukonuka, R Wilson, T Gordon, G Horne, P Horne, H Jones.

Leinster: R Kearney, J Larmour, G Ringrose, R Henshaw, J Lowe; J Sexton (capt), L McGrath; C Healy, S Cronin, T Furlong, S Fardy, J Ryan, R Ruddock, J van der Flier, J Conan.

Replacements: B Byrne, E Byrne, A Porter, R Molony, M Deegan, N McCarthy, R Byrne, R O'Loughlin.

Not to rag on Gordon's achievement as I think he has potential but weegie back row depth is poor. Smith & Fusaro are journeymen and Tamileau is far too raw and limited. That leaves Ashe vs Gordon unless he's injured again?

And now he is unlucky. Looks fucked. Possibly world cup threatening.

Why didn't premier sport have jammy on one side of Shane Williams and Devin toner on the other?

I am pretty sloshed but that early kick from Lowe was handled by Leinster plays about 20-30m ahead of him and almost led to a try before Leinsted knocked on. Why is this allowed?

Also the first Leinster try is entirely Price & Hogg's fault. Price should have spotted/checked that runner and Hogg should have known better than to try clear it when it was apparent how close he was.

Other than that the weegies are very good. Steyn is quite a player. Leinster just a tad better right now.
