Steyn at 14 against Kinghorn at 11 should be fun.

Well done to the Weegies for winning that remarkable match. Coming back from 21-0 down is a hell of an achievement.

That was great. Pretty deflating first half, but always hard to judge how tough the weather conditions are on TV. It may be that the defence and rips etc. in that half were what won it!

Second half, just looked composed, physical and dangerous. Dobie is so weirdly powerful on the wing! Brown also made a difference.

What a game to be at, electric. Notwithstanding the conditions, playing into that wind and rain in the 1sr half must've been horrendous, but Glasgow were pretty turgid and obv just really trying to get to half time. Although I have to say, some individual mistakes aside, the forwards were immense, they way the defended Toulouse attacking lineout mauls was first class.

2nd half, oh boy, just about a perfect 40 minutes of rugby. Horne came on and showed Dupont what scrum half rugby is about (), the speed and accuracy of possession was unreal, Toulouse got hammered and had nothing at all in reply, even after all our subs came on. Not sure I agreed with Hastings as mom after that effort from the forwards, but that's nitpicking, they were all magnificent.

well well well

Media and some fans all about how Glasgow were so outplayed first half. Finished 21-0 down but never outplayed IMHO. One lapse allowing the best an d quickest ball playing lock in the world to break like the ex stand off he is, one blatant forward pass, and one uncharacteristic missed tackle by McKay made the 21-0. sure they had other chances, so did Glasgow. But exiting against that wind was so limiting. As Toulouse also found out.
2nd half, again Toulouse had a couple of nice breaks which they could not convert; ditto Glasgow. But there was a metaphorical collective rolling up the sleeves by Glasgow, and TBH once we had the first try we had all the momentum (as well as possession and territory) and the win seemed inevitable. We stopped Toulouse from scoring for 45mins (they average c40pts a game in T14) and frankly bullied their pack all 2nd half
And so it came to pass, a lovely xmas present

Er, not such an easy or enjoyable watch. Can't argue with a BP win but it was a but of a cripple fight.

agree
A typical 1872 I'm afraid. Edinburgh step up their intensity for these in the same way they do for a couple of other games each season, but in the 1872 its all about trying to drag Glasgow down the that slogfest.They know, we know they can't win in an open attractive game of rugby.
Its I guess a good tactic for them, but its not good to watch and the lack of especially Edin fans tsays it all
