    Didn't look like Bent was the one who collapsed that scrum.

    Bent getting minced in the scrum, bit of a concern

    Commentators are being harsh on Adam Byrne I think. Saying he was ruck watching when he should have been tracking the Glasgow runners. But Byrne was the man who was defending the entire wing by himself. If he goes wider he's leaving a gap for a different try scorer closer to the posts.

    Jgp bit slow to get ball away on a few occasions.

    That's a bloody great score. Great carry from CoB and rapid pace from Kelleher.

    Will Connors is looking like a real prospect. I wonder would they consider playing him blindside given his height and work rate. Himself and VDF could be a very potent combination around the park.

    Probably should have been calling for support.

    Both savage players, but backrow would be a bit unbalanced with both of em?

    That's great from Moloney. Spotted the ball was out of the ruck, went around the side for it and forced the Glasgow player to bring it back in to concede a penalty.

    Completely turned the game on it's head, was genuinely concerned we were going to get hockeyed for the first 20 minutes or so.

    Almost every single ruck in the buildup to that break Glasgow were taking out the man past the ruck or impeding.

    Doris and Connors have been huge in defence.

    It was hilarious. They didn't even pretend to come thru the gate.

    That's just humiliating. Glasgow have advantage, fluffs it and loses the collisions and then cough the ball up. Glasgow should be relying on their experience here.

    How are Leinster 7 up?? Crazy based on balance of play.

    Not sure. WC is a big unit and has shown good hands and carried well tonight. He has experience at 6 and 8, even covering lock previously. I'd have thought his game is well suited to blindside.

    Their both tackling machines but that's no bad thing.

    Combine them with a combative and strong carrier like Deegan who also has a presence at the breakdown and you could have a great unit with some investment.

    Price had 2 quick taps in that half. Neither worked out in any way.

    They must have been watching Leinster so!

    6’4” and 102kgs, not huge but considerably bigger than I thought he was. Might be worth a try a la Curry and Underhill.

    Yeah me too. Everyday is a school day. I only really have seen him play 7 so had put him in that box.

    Huw Jones was dreadful in the build up to Leinsters first try. For a big man he's a terrible tackler. Can see why he was left out of the world cup squad.
