Rae was 24th man with Scotland in Paris. Turner is 24th man this week. Good to see young guys get exposed to international weekends.

Turner. WTF?

Can understand the Rae pick at least. He's excellent.

It's not 24th man in the sense they'd be the next one up I think it's getting younger players experience of the international weekend.

Unfortunately, the cupboard at hooker is pretty bare under brown and Ford. And very few options under 25. Malcolm and Turner are about it. There's Fenton and the lad at Yorkshire who left the borders last year but young hookers is an issue.

This is a bit back down to earth isn't it? Like the look of the young south African at ten though.

Sam Johnson is a little fun as the alba pundit. Correy Flynn "surprised that he's getting there, he's about 45". Big Brian "he likes a marshmallow but he manages to get around a bit".

He's absolutely hilarious.

Glasgow playing really well actually considering how depleted they are. It looks pretty slippery out there so hard to hold onto the pill.

Hughes turns the ball over on the Ospreys 5m line by absolutely thumping wonder kid keelan giles into the next dimension. Murchie strolls through afterwards!

15-14 Weeg.

Rory immediately gives away a needless penalty.

Why would you leave your hands on the ball?!

With all the focus on Newcastle, I don't know what is going on at sale? Is it a good move? How are they playing?

Not good, they do have young talent in the back row though. It can only be money motivated and good for him. At 30 it is probably his last chance to get a big contract.

I'd still, much rather have him in the Aviva than in the Top 14.

With Horne running at 10 instead of Thomson I imagine we'll see him on the bench against England next week. A good showing from Pyrgos could see him start.

We can rule Ashe out of the england game then. That leaves Denton, CDP or Bradbury as realistic options.

Having said that the weeg team looks strong enough to get full points against the dragons.

1. Alex Allan (43)

2. Corey Flynn (13)

3. D’arcy Rae (19)

4. Tim Swinson (92)

5. Brian Alainu’uese (10)

6. Rob Harley (156)

7. Simone Favaro (29)

8. Richie Vernon (88)



Replacements



16. Pat MacArthur (150)

17. Jamie Bhatti (4)

18. Sila Pufasi (37)

19. Scott Cummings (12)

20. Chris Fusaro (120)

21. Nemia Kenatale (2)

22. Brandon Thomson (2)

23. Ratu Tagive (1)

Why are we ruling Ashe out of the England game? Is he injured?

Any chance he has been pulled out of this game as he is line for bench duty next week?
