I thought DvdM and Fife were two of the few positives of the Munner game.

Was referring to sticking Burleigh at 23. I assume due to a lack of back 3 options.

I could be being harsh on Edinburgh's options.I just feel like they're lacking something.

I just think Glasgow have an abundance of horses for courses options in the back 3 without giving away too much else. Matawalu for out and out pace and brilliance. Sarto for size. Seymour and Jones as Mr dependable. Hughes will give you 110% in every match and the kind you want in a dog fight. Masaga - seasoned pro useful in emergencies, etc. Tagive as the punt who might come good.

I just don't think Edinburgh have that variety of choice. I think Wing and 9 need to be big signings.

This is pretty scrappy from Embra. Appreciate the wheather is shite, but eeeeesh, some of the passing.

Haha, as I typed that, that Rocky 3 villain looking cat on our wing hammers over after a bunch of good passes.

Nasty bang of heads there, I’d be impressed if either of them can feel their teeth after that. Not sure how that’s a penas though.

I just don't see how Edinburgh can kick on next season without a good 9.

Said it 2 years ago, will say it again. I do not understand how Fowles is a professional. Just awful.

In fairness you aren’t wrong. I don't like ragging on our own players, but I really don’t like the way Fowles plays. Seems to sometimes take a fuuuucking age to make the wrong decision.

Greg, don’t worry man, 2 years ago you said Hogg was shite.

I just about hurt myself trying to think of a shite joke about the appetite suppressing qualities of cocaine. Decided to just give myself an uppercut instead.

I said Hogg had some serious issues in his game of which defence was one of them.

Fowles is genuinely awful. He kills your play.

Aye, he does. Truth be told, we look like the definition of a limited side. Being handled pretty comfortably by Connacht the night.

Boom, Zebra score, get it wrapped right round you Arm.

Ulster at home, scarlets at home and then Glasgow at Home.

Ed could steal second as scarlets are 2 points ahead and have Munster away, Edinburgh away Glasgow at home and dragons away.

Lose to Munster and ed don’t cock up and it’s oen.
