    That's a good call by Lacey, pushed that back onto the line with his hand.

    That was very close but it was always worth a go. It was poor from Glasgow in the first place to lose the ball.

    He hasn't a good track record on the big days.

    Tadhg Beirne is having another incredible game. He's just everywhere, stopped at least 2 Glasgow tries in the last 10 mins

    Simple conversion missed, if it wasn't already over it is now.

    What an awful miss. That kills any chance of a comeback.

    That was a great try. But they need these conversions..... :(

    They were going great there, no need for the wildpass.

    Scarlets going to take this. In this kind of form they will be a tough opponent. The spectre of their horror show in the Aviva last month will give them plenty motivation.

    Munster will beat them in the final. Zebo will slide under Beirne's legs to score the winning try in a ceremonial changing of the guard

    Think Scarlets could really take advantage of a worn out Leinster squad depending on how tomorrow goes. If it's another tough battle similar to the Racing game that claims a casualty or two, Scarlets fast pace could end up being too much for Leinster.

    True they are very impressive when you let them play but Leinster showed the template on how to beat them.

    That's why Glasgow fans boo'd. If they had that extra minute they would have definitely scored 2 more tries and a drop goal

    Glasgow are incredibly frustrating to watch.

    He's actually not that good a rugby player. Can do magical things off the cuff but not very frequently and make afar too many mistakes.

    Just watching the highlights there, Glasgow are great with ball in hand, but their defense is comically bad. They can really flatter to decieve but will always fail against better teams if they don’t develop a defense.

    They play some great stuff going forward especially earlier in the season but that was when the pressure was off. In the big games they have failed miserably. They are 0-3 in their 3 home games this season that mattered. Lost first 2 euro games at home and the pro14 semi. Two of them were heavy beatings.

    Scotland are a mirror image in many ways. The video of the Scotland players pissed after they beat England says it all. Ireland won a slam and Leinster won Europe but none of The players would have ended up in the same state as Laidlaw or Flaky Finn.

    Speaking of Russell. WTF were Racing thinking. He can be really good. But also really bad. With no in between.

    Racing might suit Russell with a controlling 9 inside him, dictating play.

    That style should suit him but technically that's Laidlaw's style too despite not being near the same level.

    I really think it's a crazy move by Racing but I don't see him troubling Lambie for the starting jersey. He'll play the same role that Tales did this season.

    Lambies injury record isn’t great is it? I’d imagine Racing are doubling his money too.

    Laidlaw dictates play by slowing it down :pac:

    He's that lad in every club that fancies himself as Michalak, Spencer, Cooper 10. Has a wonder play every few months but for the vast majority of it he does nothing, especially when backs are against the wall.

    That Thompson looks a player, Leicester have a good signing there.
