Pool with Leicester Tigers, Northampton Saints and Montpellier Rugby. What are your predictions? at first glance, Glasgow's prospects look pretty bleak.
Leicester tigers are currently sitting 4th in the Aviva with 4 wins and 2 defeats (3 bonus points). Strong European Pedigree. Not seen them play this season. Can't really comment.
Northampton Saints, currently sitting 9th with 2 wins and 4 defeats (bonus points). I just saw them against Harlequins and it wasn't very glamourous.
Montpellier Rugby currently sitting 3rd in top 14 with 5 wins and 3 defeats(3 bonus points). Strong ambitions, full of South Africans. Very physical team. But they are usually pretty poor on the European Front,
Can't See Glasgow winning any other games than their home games and even these will be hard, especially with Glasgow's casualty list.
Think you have those teams wrong. BBC says Leicester, munster and racing

Thanks, the EPRC's presentation confused me. Will correct myself.

Btw, it's very unfortunate that Stade Francais vs Edinburgh(4th week) and Racing 92 vs Glasgow (3rd week) don't happen on the same weekend. Could have been a great weekend in Paris(and suburb).

Great work on Hoggy.
Just waiting for someone to tell us it would be better for him to move south so he's not bedblocking "young Scottish talent".

Smart move. At 24 he's got plenty of time. Glasgow have a class coach coming in too.
Hopefully plenty of budget left for the other OOC guys too!

Is Seymour out?

Seymour must be injured and that's a big miss. Hughes is a trier but lacks class.
Think we'll get mullered in the tight. Same old.

Apart from Seymour I'm happy with that. I thought we might be missing a few more. Have to win this, it'seems not as if the Leicester pack looks that scary

Not available due to injury: Adam Ashe (hip / foot), Rory Clegg (shoulder), Scott Cummings (shoulder), Simone Favaro (shoulder), Corey Flynn (hamstring), Chris Fusaro (knees), Ryan Grant (back), Peter Horne (hand), Lee Jones (knee), Greg Peterson (shoulder), Tommy Seymour (back), Tjiuee Uanivi (shoulder) and Richie Vernon (shoulder).

When is Ashe back?
Also, bookies have Glasgow as favourites (around 3.5/ 4 points on the handicap). Not sure about that, although they stand a good chance of a win, particularly if Dan Cole has one of those games where he's not straight and the ref not only spots it, but does something about it.

Start of next year.
They also have Reid at 66/1 to score. Could be worth a punt.

Yeah, I've grown tired of seeing Glasgow and Scotland score tries too. Trying to win by increments of three was much more successful and is working out wonderfully for Edinburgh at the minute.

Was hoping that Favavro would be back but guess it's a game too early for him. A bit worried about the lack of second row cover but hopefully it isn't an issue.
Johnson over Bennett looks a big call.

Bennett has played every game so far I think, could be useful off the bench running at tired legs

I think he also had a knock which put him out of last week

Didn't play last week.
Tbh, it's possibly more about how they want to use Dunbar.

Bent ref tonight. That's a pen... FOR Glasgow. Superb work from Fagerson.

This has to be a joke. Glasgow have enough issues with an injury ravaged squad, Leicester having a 16th man is going to be difficult.
