I'm a woman I can multi task....

I hope Hibbard's all right.

Maitland!!!!

MAITLAND FOR THE LIONS!!

nicely done

Lovely try there Glasgow.

Matawalu for the Lions!

Great kick and take. O,s in the sh1t now....

Good try that...thought it would be allowed even though I wasn't listening to the commentary.

It's quite funny simultaneously watching two games...Trimble scored exactly at the same time there.

Maitland you beauty, get in.

Excellent finish, Ospreys second best in the contact area and it is hurting them.

Season defining next 60minutes

How much better are Glasgow when Mattawalu and Weir on the pitch? They look like a totally different team to the farce that played away to Scarlets.

+1

I'll admit, I didn't really rate Hibbard before this season, but this year he has absolutely blown me away - central to the dominance of the Welsh pack.

It's Mattawalu mainly for me. You can't underestimate the effect a live wire scrum half has on the opposition. Holds the attention of the defending line, stops the drift, causes confusion in the ranks with the mazy runs!

Definitely. The Ospreys pack will be a bit weaker now. Adam Jones gets a lot of credit that Hibbard should be getting IMO.

Ridiculous acceleration on Tipuric.

Great defence there by Glasgow, not sure what the penalty was for.

Ospreys backline is sooooo average

Beck and Bishop make a decent centre partnership and Disksen and Walker and talented winger, while Fussell is reliable at FB.

But at the moment they have no fit wingers (they only really have 2 in the squad) and both centre out and their replacements are very poor.

The Ospreys should have looked to sign Adam Warren from the Scarlets, or maybe Maule.

Get well soon Beck, Bish, Walker, Dirksen.....ffs!

Osprey's looking very blunt in attack.

Glasgow need to make the most of this ascendancy - Ospreys will have their chance at some point

It's amazing how much poorer the Ospreys' scrum is without Hibbard

Think the penalty was for 2 Ospreys forwards lying on the ruck. It supporting their own weight.

Adam Jones does not bind again

Weir's kicking is really disappointing, 11 points gone a begging...

What's up with Weir's kicking!

Duncan Weir's really having an off night

Weir is kicking terribly, Ospreys could be out by now

Gotta love the P-12. Dragons beating Munster at the moment and Connacht beating Ulster so far...

Adam Jones consistently turns the scrum in, he has done that all season.... refs beginning to suss him out now

ffs Weir missed again........

NICE!!!

haha! Double for GRANT!?!?!

I just peed a little.

That try was THE SEX.

Another forward pass for a another try.

Great try!

Good thing Glasgow are scoring cause Weir can't hit a barn door just now!

GRANT FOR THE LIONS!!

May have been another forward pass in there but not complaining!

Osprey's in big trouble now.

3 tries in 30 minutes!

If Weir have got his kicks the Ospreys could pack up and go home

Ryan Grant for the Lions!

Although more forward passes, if I was an Ospreys fan I'd be really peed off, but I'm not so I'm quite chuffed

Sonny Bill Morrison!

Ryan Grant for the Lions, BUT ON THE WING

What a try, people give g dog his due. Grant for the lion. Easy easy easy easy....(too early, probably but this is awesome)

Ryan you beauty!!!...... Does he keep the ball if he has a hat-trick

Jebus have the O's turned up today...?

I can only assume there is no such thing as a forward pass in Scotland because I have seen about 4 blatant ones now and no calls at all. definitely 1 in that try and 2 in the build up to the first try.

Glasgow look incredible this evening. Matawalu is brilliant! The new Fortuali'i!

Scoreline is looking nice for Glasgow. Hard to believe we have let 11 points slide as well.

Stop the Ospreys locks carrying and keep men over the breakdown to disrupt Tipuric and the O's can't cope - and they can't look to their backs for help at the moment

The ref is a disgrace, clear flopping over the tackled player, nothing given, the Ospreys may as well pack up a go home with this ref.

let's see a bonus point before half time!

That possession statistic is ridiculous! It's certainly not reflected in the score! Bad O's!
