Maitland!!!! Very Happy

by IanBru Fri 19 Apr - 19:58

MAITLAND FOR THE LIONS!!

by Pat_Mustard Fri 19 Apr - 19:58

nicely done

by Guest Fri 19 Apr - 19:59

Lovely try there Glasgow.

by GLove39 Fri 19 Apr - 19:59

Matawalu for the Lions!

by Breadvan Fri 19 Apr - 19:59

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

by Cari Fri 19 Apr - 19:59

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. Smile

by DrTreasure Fri 19 Apr - 19:59

Maitland you beauty, get in.

by wales606 Fri 19 Apr - 19:59

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

Season defining next 60minutes

by bsando Fri 19 Apr - 19:59

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.

by Guest Fri 19 Apr - 20:02

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.

by glamorganalun Fri 19 Apr - 20:08

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

by wales606 Fri 19 Apr - 20:08

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.

by Breadvan Fri 19 Apr - 20:08

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

by **RDW** Fri 19 Apr - 20:11

Osprey's looking very blunt in attack.

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

by 123456789 Fri 19 Apr - 20:11

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

by GLove39 Fri 19 Apr - 20:11

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

by glamorganalun Fri 19 Apr - 20:12

Adam Jones does not bind again

by GLove39 Fri 19 Apr - 20:12

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

by Pat_Mustard Fri 19 Apr - 20:12

What's up with Weir's kicking!

by 123456789 Fri 19 Apr - 20:12

Duncan Weir's really having an off night

by wales606 Fri 19 Apr - 20:12

Weir is kicking terribly, Ospreys could be out by now

by Cari Fri 19 Apr - 20:12

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

by flyhalffactory Fri 19 Apr - 20:13

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

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

by Pat_Mustard Fri 19 Apr - 20:13

NICE!!!

by bsando Fri 19 Apr - 20:13

haha! Double for GRANT!?!?!

by IanBru Fri 19 Apr - 20:13

I just peed a little.

That try was THE SEX.

by glamorganalun Fri 19 Apr - 20:13

Another forward pass for a another try.

by **RDW** Fri 19 Apr - 20:13

Great try!

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

by bsando Fri 19 Apr - 20:13

GRANT FOR THE LIONS!! Very Happy

by Pat_Mustard Fri 19 Apr - 20:14

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

by wales606 Fri 19 Apr - 20:14

Osprey's in big trouble now.

3 tries in 30 minutes! Shocked

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

by 123456789 Fri 19 Apr - 20:14

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

by **RDW** Fri 19 Apr - 20:14

Sonny Bill Morrison!

by GLove39 Fri 19 Apr - 20:14

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)

by flyhalffactory Fri 19 Apr - 20:14

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

by Cari Fri 19 Apr - 20:15

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

by doctornickolas Fri 19 Apr - 20:16

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.

by MarcusHalberstram Fri 19 Apr - 20:16

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

by cakeordeath Fri 19 Apr - 20:17

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

by wales606 Fri 19 Apr - 20:17

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

by glamorganalun Fri 19 Apr - 20:17

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.

by Pat_Mustard Fri 19 Apr - 20:17

let's see a bonus point before half time! king

by Cari Fri 19 Apr - 20:17

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