Oh - Rory Hughes out for 4-6 months for a shoulder op. Disappointing.

Can see the flip side though.
Also, re: GrayJu, I doubt he’ll play a full 80 - Cummins in with half an hour or so to go is probably a better call than the other way round. Also, I think Swinson can play flanker at a push.
Anyway, will be good to see a few hard early hits on their 8 and 10, and see where we go from there. Need to keep the heids!
‘mom Glasgow!
Then Stick Pyrgos and Sarto on the bench...

Glasgow normally source some good highlights for their pro 14 games and post on twitter. Not sure if it'll be the same for the champions cup but hopefully it will.

We'll see how it goes.
Sorry for the double post. I think the Jonny Gray decision isnt just on reputation. He is a better player than the other two and they have decided that with the benefit of a game he is likely to be better than the other options. A bit of a gamble but not just based on a big rep. I would prefer Cummings over Swinson though
Cmon. Swinson is on fire at the moment. And Jonny has had one game back. He’ll be fine.
Cummings is going to be good but he’s a kid. And I do wonder if our scrum issues are at least partly due to lack of grunt from the row.

Glasgow are unbeaten this season. Players need to earn their shirts as & when they come back from injury. Even Hogg.
Parachuting players back in is a dangerous precedent IMO. J Gray was rank rotten against the Cheetahs & should be allowed to play himself back into form.
We will see. Still confident Glasgow can get a result though.
Revisionist rubbish. Gray (understandably) faded against the Cheetahs but he started out very well, especially his counter rucking. I don't think that Rennie is picking on reputation given the fact that Bhatti seems to be the man in possession of the loosehead short currently.

Non contact injury for Brown? Not good.

Finn very nearly gifted Exeter a walk in there. Curious to know what the result would have been if Jacko had caught that ball.

No answer for the Exeter forward power.
After going up 10-0 the real test was how Glasgow respond when Exeter had the ball. The answer? 2 converted tries both scored by tight forwards.

Brown injury has not bren ideal. Weather not suiting Glasgow's game either.

I know that Finn is the best we've had in a million years, yada, yada, etc.
But it really grinds my gears when he pops to a man on his shoulder who is blatantly isolated and does not support them when they go to ground as he's already dropped back to first receiver. It's only once in a blue moon. Get in the ruck.

The Pink shrit handled the ball, its a perfectly legitimate tackle from Finn. Give the try and get on with it.
Brilliant bit of play BTW.

Another of Turner's magical no look passes. That's the third one he has given this season that has put his team under pressure.

That rumbling maul is killing Glasgow.
Turner steals the loose lineout and what a kick from him... what a chase! He's a rapid fella for a hooker.

Johnson coming on. They could use some hard straight running tbh.
This ref is shocking. Appreciate that Exeter at the dominant side up front but Glasgow are being very canny at ruck time and he's having none of it. Pink are holding on a lot and ref is ignoring it.

And just as I post that he actually gives a pen for holding on. Think it may well be the first.
Great defence.

Managed to catch most of the second half, albeit on a dodgy stream, weird game. Same old stuff really, moments of brilliance punctuated with dumb errors, refusal to play in sensible areas of the pitch and some questionable substitutions.
Have to say Peter Horne is a player I respect so much. Whether or not I'd pick him for Scotland he just works so fucking hard.
Russell with a real blunder there.

What blunder are you talking about? The kick with absolutely no available chasers when they were making yard after yard? That's got to be the worst of the night.
Knock on wasn't his fault, it happens.
