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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Watching the second try again and I'd say the coaches are thrilled. Set play going through a couple of phases. Everyone executed and got their positions and lines right. Things like Molony and Connors popping up to link it all up is great to see.

    Good return carry from Byrne, made gainline. Haven't seen that form him before.

    Tracey might just be my motm atm. Very physical shift from him, has gotten in the way of a few big carries.

    We've some serious competition over the next couple years in the back row. Ruddock, Conan, VdF, Leavy, Connors, Deegan, Doris, Penny, Murphy, Moloney in the academy.

    Based on the last few years unfortunately I would expect some of those players will have to retire due to injury.

    The reality does seem to be that you will never have all the backrows fit at once. And probably at least 1 long term injured. Conners, leavy, vdf, sob, nordi...all have had long term injured in last few years

    Aside from Ruddock, all of the above are 27 or under. We've only had two back rows retire due to injury over the last few years, Heaslip at 33 and McLaughlin who was 31.... I would be absolutely astonished if any of those named were retired before 27/28.

    MacParland was a massive loss to Scottish rugby. He's turned Ulster into a f**king hard team with and abundance of determination and toughness. These are not adjectives I'd use to describe Scottish forwards these days and both Edinburgh and Glasgow struggling against back to front depth teams from Munster and Leinster is not a good sign.

    Scottish rugby is in real trouble.

    IN reality the push for Townsend to get the national job has had a huge affect on Scottish rugby


    Both Glasgow and Scotland have gone backward. Edinburgh have improved is the only plus

    Molony and Connors have been absolutely brilliant.

    Molony has to leave. He could have a very good few seasons in England for someone like Bath. Far too good to be 4th choice.

    I'd have said Edinburgh are a very tough team in the mould of their coach.

    Great defense from Leinster there to stop Glasgow.

    Be ironic if Jackson ended up with a hat trick.

    Fortunately he also electrocutes himself with his decision making with ball in hand.

    Amazing to think he's only 25. Has 89 caps already, captained the team a fair few times too. Massively underrated.

    Will Connors motm.

    Was titanic in defence. Out in some huge hits that put Glasgow begins the gainline. We don't have enough players who can do that. He's a rare breed.

    30 something phases of defence at end. Savage desire to be really mean.
