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

    Certainly exciting to watch :D

    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.

    🤪

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

    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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Jump_In_Jack


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


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

    Agreed. Terrible call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Jump_In_Jack


    Knockout rugby


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,674 ✭✭✭ionadnapóca


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,709 ✭✭✭A-Train


    Another Scarlett’s try, good hands


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Jump_In_Jack


    “Step” Evans


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,079 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


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

    Glasgow not on form at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Jump_In_Jack


    Rob that was.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,165 ✭✭✭mangobob


    This could be very ugly.

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

    Ban billionaires

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

    Replay looked forwards alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,079 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Jump_In_Jack


    Glasgow 3-21 Scarlets at 36 minutes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Hate Scottish crowds so much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    Another big occasion = another Finn Russell "no show"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


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

    Yeah that's fair enough I guess.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Jump_In_Jack


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