Glasgow v Scarlets, Pro 14 semi, Sky Action/BBC Wales 2/BBC Alba

Jump_In_Jack

Two fast and furious teams, dry conditions, arguably the most Super Rugby style teams in the Pro14.

Sabre0001

Certainly exciting to watch

Scarlets up suspiciously fast in defence at times, while Glasgow looking a bit soft / loose defensively. Need to sort out the discipline too.

Should be an entertaining game though.

Jump_In_Jack

Scarlets off to a flying start, two converted tries to a penalty.
Glasgow 3-14 Scarlets, at 19 minutes

Jump_In_Jack

Commentary saying Glasgow look the part of a team that hasn’t played in a few weeks.

Certainly have given away soft yards early in the match.

Jump_In_Jack

Finn Russell playing very expansive stuff, floating passes long and chipping it into space, he is great to watch when in this form.

ScrubsfanChris

Glasgow have only played two competitive fixtures in the last 33 days and lost both. Might explain their poor start here.

Terrible decision. Never maintained weight, awful stuff.

Jump_In_Jack

Van der Merwe getting a few flashes of possession, the ex-Scarlets player looks dangerous every time.

ScrubsfanChris

In fact just noticed that Glasgows Pro14 2018 so far is 5 wins - 5 losses - 1 draw. Not exactly great.

Agreed. Terrible call.

Horne keeping them in it.
Russell no where to be seen at the moment.

Jump_In_Jack

George Horne with another steal. Impressive showing so far after 27 mins.

Jump_In_Jack

Lots of stoppages so far, must be very tough to go that explosive and then stop and then go again, very strange type of fitness required.

Why was Lacey saying "use it" the Glasgow scrum was minced there?

Jump_In_Jack

Knockout rugby

ionadnapokot

The size of the replacement TH for Glasgow!!
He looks knackered already

A-Train

Another Scarlett’s try, good hands

Jump_In_Jack

“Step” Evans

And another one for Scarlets - could have been a forward pass there, I thought.....but obviously not.

Glasgow not on form at all.

Jump_In_Jack

Rob that was.

mangobob

This could be very ugly.

Akrasia

Scarlets are very very good tonight. Glasgow are making a few mistakes but there's enormous pressure every time Glasgow touch the ball

Yes but he said the Scarlets front row popped up as well.

Replay looked forwards alright.

vienne86

Pity Glasgow didn't score there - would have helped make a match of it.

Jump_In_Jack

Glasgow 3-21 Scarlets at 36 minutes.

Hate Scottish crowds so much.

ScrubsfanChris

Another big occasion = another Finn Russell "no show"

Yeah that's fair enough I guess.

Jump_In_Jack

Feck it Finn! Great attacking position and knocks it on.

Why’s that? R they Always booing?

More booing than an Ulster match here

Always, always booing.

Jump_In_Jack

Yet another steal on the ground by Horne I think!

What a steal by Shingler was it?

People in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones. Plenty of booing at every ground, including the 4 provinces.

Jump_In_Jack

Glasgow got over the line but held up on half-time.

Shingler caught the attempted offload.

razorblunt

I really can't understand how Nick Grigg is playing this level of professional rugby, never mind playing for Scotland.

Jump_In_Jack

Glasgow ahead in every statistic except penalties conceded, yet still 18 points down!

The stream I'm watching, there is a fabulous dual spectrum of light running down either side of the screen. Looks like a lovely night to watch live rugby.

Dead right Zippy. e.g. Leinster v Scarlets in European semi. Plenty of booing by Leinster fans.

Squidgy Black

Horne off for a HIA, the only player who actually showed up for Glasgow today.

Larbre34

Glasgow not playing for 3 weeks really shows up what sting in the tail the conference system is, unless you happen to be in the Champions Cup final

mangobob

Game over.

razorblunt

Racing must be scratching their heads looking at what they're getting in Russell here.

Jump_In_Jack

Match effectively over now with 30 mins to go.
Scarlets with an easy finish from the lineout, and Glasgow down to 14 for 10 minuets.
Pity that it hasn’t lived up to expectations.
Horne back on.

ScrubsfanChris

That was very close. Scarlets get lucky

Synode

Should have been a lineout. Terrible decision
