Would be good to here from those who say they have insider info - was it Maj and CraigS?

Wouldnt say I know much about hoggy but all I did hear was he didnt want to promote glasgow to potential new players.

I dont think glasgow will miss hogg tomorrow, it will be a tight game and murchie is a bit more solid.

Good to see the game is on bbc2 tomorrow night, hopefully the first of many to be shown on BBC1/BBC2 in scotland

Very nice. Glad they showed the assists as well as the tries.

Feel incredibly sorry for whomever has to replace him. When we see someone with that level of ability again, it's almost a statistical certainty that he won't be Irish. Feel sorry for teenage Irish rugby fans who think that they get one of these players every rotation. That's not even tongue in cheek.

There speaks a man of intellect and experience. So true. Last one was Gibson.  

Would you believe that Princess Daughter just volunteered to babysit tomorrow evening so I could take MrsPip out?
There is a bistro round the corner which now has an 8:30 booking for two.
If the game goes to extra time I predict a riot.

I'll be missing this, down in Englandshire. Go Glasgow - whatever it takes.

Justified, if you have a laptop or similar it'll be on I-player. Or if you're in a house with satellite ch 143 for the Heedrum Hodrum channel or, I think, 971 for BBC2.

Jimbo, life is full of choices, and as we all know, life's a total b**ch.

Does anybody in Edinbokke have recommendations for places to watch the match? can't be ersed going through to glasvegas so looking for somewhere in the burgh to watch that has a decent atmosphere!

Atmosphere in EdinBokke? Are you mad? Sure they'll be queuing five deep to ride on the trams all day.
All we've got to look forward to in Toonieville is a cup final.

I'm sure I've experienced atmosphere in Edinburgh before... In 2009(?) I saw the Heinekin cup final at Murrayfield, that was a good crowd! aaaaaaaaaaaand that's been it so far...

To be honest most of Edinburgh - just like Glasgow - won't know the game is even on.

Teuchters and Berts bar are good rugby pubs with good beer - between the west end and Haymarket

Will there be any Welsh rugby fans watching this game? Just curious.

Possibly, however non of the Welsh pundits will be watching it as are contractually obliged to maintain their default stance of ignorance pertaining to rugby matters outside of the welsh regions and the promised land (jeff).

Between yesterday's Gruaniad and today's Torygraph ; one small paragraph mentioning the fact that it's BOD's last game.  

Here's to a momentous day for Scotland.
The Edinburgh trams finally open to the public and (hopefully) a first major trophy win for Glasgow!!!    

  


Why's it so quiet on here?

Great pictures on Glasgow Twitter feed - so excited!!!!!

Lets hope the final doesn't go down to the wire the way the Saracens - Saints game did. don't think my heart could take that.

If Glasgow won I wouldn't care!

Very true, but it would age me by 40 years and reduce my fingers to stubs

What a day this is, lets all hope for a great and fair final.

But haven't you heard Leinster are playing...    

George Hooks last time commentating on a club game? Thank feck

Love it! Even if Leinster lose, Irish Rugby still comes out ahead   

Good luck you slaaaaaags!

I'll be back on after the apocalypse!

C'MON GLASGOW!!

May the best team win

Evening all. Sorry to be a pain but if anyone has a working link I would be most grateful.

Thanks to anyone.

Oh Jamie... " what have you done to your hair?"

https://youtu.be/u48RU6U8o8U

Good luck to both teams. Hoping Drico and Leo sign off with a win.

Poor start by Gopperth

Type in bbc alba to google and you can get it Nachos

Thanks The Boss but I am on the mainland so cant get that media

Sorry mate technology isn't my strong point. I'm in Lincoln so can get it that way.

Sent ya one Nachos

Can see Leinster having scrum ascendancy

BOD injured already? Not much of a final game if he goes off this early.

Good man Golden and thanks anyways The Boss

 nooooooo

Hes gone. Madigan on in his place.

Not the way he would have liked it to go but none the less  

Great tempo from Glasgow

Poor BOD, really wanted to see him go out with style

He almost took his head off!

Is that not an early lift from the Glasgow lineout?

Should be a penalty alright.

If that wasn't a high tackle i don't know what is.

Bye BOD. Thanks for all you've given the game.

Golden wrote:BOD injured already? Not much of a final game if he goes off this early.

Disagree... Perhaps we can now have a game of rugby instead of the Brian O'Driscoll show...

That is, providing the commentators now realise there are other players on the field rather than quoting the BOD notes they have prepared before hand.

BOD, was a good player who played at least one more season than he should have...

I meant a final game for him, not the rabo final.

C'mon Glasgow...

Rather the Ospreys where there, but as they aren't, nice to see another nation standing up to the Irish might...

No fishing at all...I have an opinion and entitled to state it as much as those who wish to lick BODs boots.

Great try   

Brilliant from Leinster.
