Anyone watching or has the season ended a bit early for everyone?
Good to see Mike Adamson reffing the game. He seems to have a bit of authority about him.

I'm watching. Edinburgh look well up for it and Glasgow look like they're on hols already. Despite that Glasgow comfortably in control.

Thought Dunbar getting shepherded into touch a couple of mins ago was just pathetic. He had lots of space to cut back inside after the pass from Hogg. Just didn't seem bothered at all.
Glasgow have got some talent in Cummings.
Adamson seems ok. Doesn't seem very clued up about the workings of the scrum & forward encounters though. Glasgow pack are utterly dominant

Much better from Edinburgh today. Fighting to slow it at the breakdown​, illegally quite a lot but I'm actually ok with that. Far too often we ship tries out of fear of penalties I think.

That was just lovely from Cummings. Hope to see him get some time in a Scotland shirt this summer.

Nice try at the end. I expect Glasgow to go up a gear or two in the second.
Edinburgh surviving somehow. What they could do with decent halfbacks...

In place if who? Give the Gray's the summer off or is he third choice for you?

Jonny does look like he needs a rest. Does he really need to be playing if he's next in line for a Lions call up? It shouldn't make a difference.

PS that was shocking stuff from Jones - foot in touch with no player near him.

Of course it would make a difference. If, and it's a big if he's next in line then they'd want him having done international intensity training. Not solo training in glasgow.

On Adamson. Glad the fact he's an ex weeg player doesn't count against him for reffing these games. It's slim picking for good refs in the pro 12.

Anyone notice Ritchie punching Swinson on the floor?

Didn't see him throw one? He grabbed him by the cost but Swinson was holding miles off the ruck. Neither did a great deal wrong from what I saw?

No but he's been quite effective so far today. I thought that he'd end up a seven but maybe the blindside actually suits him better.

Well he grabbed him by the collar, and there was a punch motion towards swinsons face. He might havejust held it.

Just looked at it. He made a fist. That is literally it.

Well Edinburgh finish a turd of a season on a positive note.
Not a progressive move but is have Cochrane as 3rd hooker on tour.

Delighted Edinburgh have got a decent result. Glasgow were shocking and you'd have to think Dunbar, Russell and some others have played their way out of the injury cover list for the Lions.

Game was ultimately won in the back-row and it remains Glasgow's biggest area of weakness. I don't think k Fusaro is good enough, Harley was outplayed by his opposite number and Faegergson is only promising. Can't work out why they let Favaro go. Edinburgh were able to cheat enough and slow up enough ball to keep themselves in it and profit off end of season mistakes.

Rennie is bringing a 7 with him.
