More talk of a region merger. Feels like every week. Hard to see them being competitive this season which is a shame.
The defensive sets to stop the Bulls maul at the death were worth the trophy alone. Fantastic from Glasgow.
Benetton were not a million miles away from winning in Pretoria themselves.
How good was then Glasgow maul defence? They’re defence in general was excellent too.
Yea they seem to be improving year on year as well.
Italians can only excel at something once they can make it look beautiful.
Dour 9-3 grapples in a cauldron of mud was never going to be their thing.
With the game now increasingly rewarding handling, intricate back-play, creative set plays, Italians will have their day.
As a child of 90s football Italia, i'm not sure if this is true lol
Be honest, nobody actually watched the football.
It was all about the exquisite dessert on the table in the elegant terrazza surroundings as Jimbo leafed through the papers.
Baggio, Batistuta, Maldini, Marafuckingdona, a decade of artists, pearls before swine!
Delighted for Glasgow - brilliant performance aganst the odds- good for the tournament and good for World rugby to have Scottish rugby back competing with the best, and will help to grow the game ther, as ther 20s do not look good.
If only it were true. Winning in 2015 had no affect on Scottish rugby as a whole and unfortunately I doubt this will either.
Townsend being a **** coach for the national team has definitely played a part in that. Absolute spoofer
The win yesterday , and triumph in tourament seamed bigger, against the odds , as I said ther 20s are not good coming through, but maybe the URC win will help.
Ignore. Hopefully I've typed the right link below
Not the best of looks
That's unbelievable. But at the same time, not surprising at all.
Wow, that's disgraceful attacking Piardi like that. What an utterly stupid man. Good riddance they lost.
The Glasgow try that was disallowed was a big call in bulls favour. I felt it was a wrong call too
good riddance to the Irish teams that did nothing
Ok.
facts are facts no matter how much u try deny it!
Pathetic from White. I was going to post something about South Africans being very poor losers but this poster put it better than I ever could.
Bizarre to be blaming the ref and then saying there's a pattern of not reffing the away team. I thought the game was reffed well, and Glasgow won with the more gutsy performance. If he made a point that the away teams have had better luck I'd see humour in it, but the way he said I want that ref to ref us away next time, he's insinuating some sort of bias, it does come off as sour grapes. I'd be embarrassed if my team's coach came out with that kind of rubbish after losing a home final. It smacks of deflecting away from his own failure to coach his team well enough to win.
better than Leinster after cc when LAR knocked u out,cry baby sexton making threats to opposite coach and ref and fans wishing cancer on the ref!
Oh dear... Who wants to tell him?
Mod: Tone this down.
Only a matter of time until BigBoks next meltdown.
It was clear to me that Warriors at Loftus Versfeld would involve 20 minutes of huffing and puffing, 40 minutes of shipping tries and 20 more minutes of waiting for it to be over. How wonderfully wrong I was. What a great result for Scotland and the league.
Maul Tries it is
Saving a few clicks for those of us who need to zoom.
I'd agree that the game was reffed well, other than that disallowed Glasgow try for the off the ball tackle but then even the best of us get it wrong sometimes.
