Na. It's a good squad, and 5 points means chuff all more than 4 now.

Agreed, although there is one absolutely nonsense scenario where you win both games and win 8 points and Connacht win one and lose one and pick up 7 points. But that is unlikely.

This is the last chance really to rest anyone so it makes sense to give a few a rest.

Indeed. Glasgow still have a lot to lose. While there's no real risk of them dropping out of the top 4 they can still get a home semi and should be doing everything they can to make that happen.

The team should still get 5 points but it's a lot harder than it needs to be.

I'm confused. You sound like you two are agreeing but you are saying the opposite

I think that team is slightly unnattracrive but more than capable of grinding Zebre down to nothing, then bring the whole bench on and tear them apart.

An able and talented side, but I am sure that Mr T on the right wing will drop the ball more than once despite having hands the size of dinner plates. And what's happened to Murchie? Has he just slid down the pecking order?

I think townsend has a sentimental side so perhaps he just wants tonight to be a last home game for a whole bunch at once.

Plus Bryce probably offers more going forward

Nakarawa's misplaced offload puts Glasogw under real pressure in their 22. I suppose that's one part of his game you don't miss but the benefits outweigh the downsides!

Zebre ill discipline keeping the scores level as it stands. Glasgow have not spent any real time in the Zebre half.

324 minutes away from home with no score. Glasgow are very benevolent where zebre are concerned.

Zebre just got onto the end of a good chip down the middle of the park. Knock on prevents any further progress. All Zebre right now.

Hopefully the team selection doesn't backfire.

Hart and Weir isn't a great combination for the way Glasgow want to play. Just a bit too slow and predictable.

Garcia off is a bit loss for Zebre.

What a break from Naka! That should give Glasgow a bit of confidence and settle the nerves.

Blimey. Glasgow 0-100 real fast.

Glenn Bryce showed some superb wheels there.

BP sewn up after 34 mins. Impressive. This could be a real rout.

Who was chasing Mr T there? Cause he made some serious ground on him... enough to make him touch down in the corner in case he got caught.

Good signing for Embra. Pity for Bryce they're pish.

For someone that size Mr T can't tackle to save his life. Poor try to give away.

Mr T just can't tackle can he? Don't see him starting the bigger games, he's a flat track bully.

Treviso score a last minute penalty to beat Connacht.
