That's a shame about fagerson would be an intriguing contest with everyone fit

[paddy no 11]

3 errors from dobie = leinster try

[paddy no 11]

Dobie again

[paddy no 11]

Other fagerson in bother now unfortunately

Not impressive at all. Leinster are an unbelievable team and Glasgow were missing most of their best players (7 starters by my count) but I hoped they could be more competitive.

I am a bit worried about Darge. He never has a bad game as such and always works his arse off, but rarely seems to have the impact that he used to have. I think part of that is defensive tactics at both Glasgow and Scotland, but I also think he is missing a bit of his spark.

The team not available v Zebre this week

When did Cummings get injured? It feels like he's missed basically the entire season, or is my old man's memory just being shit again?

Mid January v quins in HC. Think both he and Williamson had setbacks. Williamson on bench again this week, looking huge - time not wasted

thanks. i thought it was longer than that, but maybe it's just that January feels like forever ago!

Alex Craig joining Glasgow from Scarlets next season.

[Mikey Brown]

Interesting. Will all of Cummings, Brown, Samuel, Williamson and Jare still be there?

[Cameo]

Yeah, I think Du Preez will probably go though and Brown and Ferrie may playbij the backrow more. Given they have had to play hookerd in the backrow, I don't think they can be accused of building up too much depth.

Interested to see more of Craig. Wouldnt want him holding the others back but sounds like he is a very good club player.

yes, DuPreez will leave. He is OOC. With Mann and Venter off, Back row needs Brown and Ferrie there for decent depth
there will be rotation (and no doubt injuries) at lock of course, think Williamson and Cummings will be starters for biggest games. If Craig can push past them I'll be delighted. He is a big physical player

I know Warriors won away last season (Munster and Bulls) to get the championship, but tomorrow v Bulls at Scotstoun feels like a must win for a home SF
Tough one, still so many injuries to first picks and not really playing well

[Mikey Brown]

Dreadful run of phases since missing touch on the Bulls line to conceding a try there. Massive. 7-16 feels like a very different game.

[Mikey Brown]

Horne and Jordan as a pair of halfbacks is so nerve-wracking.

Yeah, that seemed like the key moment. Until then they were scrapping but were actually doing okay and you could see them tiring the bulls out.

By the way, I can live with the bulls yellow being a yellow, just, but I hate the process they go through. Barely any recognition that never legal and then they try to pretend that it wasn't dangerous. If it was an otherwise legal tackle, there would maybe be mitigation for the player dropping. But it wasn't so there isn't.

[Mikey Brown]

It’s absolutely infuriating that they have all these processes and procedures, but the ref can simply say ‘not a high degree of danger’ when a 150kg prop shoulders somebody in the face (who goes off for an HIA) and there’s no real way of refuting it.

May as well just say it’s yellow in the first half and red in the second, as that’s all it seems to amount to.

Horne’s flying shoulder on Kirsten was pretty funny. Didn’t make much impact but that’s a straight red by the letter of the law.

[septic 9]

tough night for Warriors.
Louw should have been red, absolute nonsense that it wasn't. Beyond that we weren't good enough until it was too late.
Jordan had probably his worst outing for Glasgow, basically the injuries are killing Glasgow. I think 9 or 10 out who could expect to be in a match day 23 for a big game, probably 7 starters. And another 3 injuries after this game - Schickering, Brown and Mann - the last two we really need for the rest of the season

[Donny osmond]

There's a good chance injuries might scupper Glasgows league defence and Scotlands Lions representation. Real shame for the players on one hand, although there's nothing wrong with a decent summers rest... every cloud and all that.

think it has already scuppered a top 2 finish in the league, seriously lessened the parallel Champions Cup challenge (which was genuinely serious in the minds of the players and coaches this season).
And if previous Lions' coaches' approach is anything to go by, the lack of game time at the business end of the season (ie last months or so and up to the selection announcement date) lack of game time will do for many - Fagerson, Jones, Tuipolotu just to start with.
I'm not a big fan of the Lions. Not anymore anyway. Its a way out of date concept with no serious attempt to do what it aways traditionally did, truly represent all 4 home unions.
So while I would be gutted for any player missing out, my personal take is in line with your silver lining
