The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread

[whatisthejava]

Yeah, the bench is pretty concerning on further reflection. If Russell goes down early then Glasgow are in for a a long night.

I reckon Glasgow need to have this in the bag by 60/65 mins. Munster will win a tight contest if it comes down to the impact of the bench in the last 20.

Could be right, Munster tend to play the full 80 mins and Glasgow either need 4 tries or to stop Munster getting any points

Was reading earlier today Leicester have only lost 1 European game since 2006, mind u I think they are far from their best

[ARM]

Presume that should be 1 home European game?

[no sleep]

anybody got a link for the game (on a different computer just now with no history cached)?

[no sleep]

oops - and obviously in a different time zone....

BTW saw the team introduction yesterday, what an awesome touch - whoever is in charge of the weeg social media is very good at what they do. Along with Exeter it's hard not to admire the progress that Glasgow have made in the last few years, top to bottom - both on & off the pitch.

3 minutes for a team announcement?

They also post the image of the full team list like Edinburgh plus a link to the report on the website. The video is purely complementary and it's a great touch IMO.

[Mikey Brown]

I particularly enjoyed Strauss's bit.

[hp18]

I fecking despise those videos. Be nice if they spent more time with actual supporters questions/issues than bullshit like that.

[Tobylerone]

Well, let`s hope the performance on the pitch is as slick as the promo. off.
It`ll need to be today, dem Oirish boys will be a bit keener on winning than Racing 92..

I suppose it gives some media student something to do for a couple of hours.

[Mikey Brown]

I also now fucking hate that video. Fuck you, whoever made it. Twat.

Grant is to move to Worcester and not Brive. Don't know when he will move though...

It's possible to do both. I've been complaining for years how far behind the curve rugby is on this stuff. For years it was cheap, cringe worthy and unprofessional, eclipsed by what EinE could do when bored, but this is progress.if it's a couple of students boosting their cv's so much the better.

That looks a bit less of a career ender though probably less enjoyable for him

They'll be relegated IMO. Bristol are going to pass them.

How the hell did Munster get so many fans in the ground? Not sure how ticket allocations for Euro games work.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Glasgow on top so far, been in the danger zone a couple of times but still no points on the board. Finn kicked away both times. Not meaningless kicks but still possession kicked away.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Munster have a chance to clear their lines. Have to think they'll be the happiest team at this point after that period of relentless pressure in their half , much of it in the 22.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

I hope the weeg don't regret the first few mins, 3-3 with 20 mins played now. All Glasgow but momentum keeps getting killed.

[Mikey Brown]

Munster looking as firey as they have recently?

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Fraser Brown saves what was a sure try. Munster were most certainly going to be over the line in the next phase or to but for his turnover.

Glasgow are a completely different team when Finn is having one of his poorer performances.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Weeg defensive performance is absolutely superb. More needed with ball in hand to win it though.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Hogg scores a superb long range effort at goal. Hopefully he doesn't do his hammy later... 6-3 Weeg, 32 mins played.
