Hoping for a real good game. Glasgow need to win the forward battle and then bring niko on as the game breaks up. No kicking to the dangerous bath backs - starve them of the ball.

Scott Johnson

Hmmm, I don't have BT Sport, so will have to follow the game on twitter either that or walk to the pub.

Want a link?

Not that you offered but any chance the same ...

Great start from the Glasgow pack - poor from Horne

Looks like MacArthur can't hook either!

Glasgow are starting this game poorly

Thanks RdW

Imagine how they felt, all the hard work undone by a terrible kick

The crowd reffed that one!

I wouldn't say no to a link either.

Messiah!!!!

Yes, great try from Glasgow. Mark Bennett clearly well recovered. The idiot announcer just called it as a Bath try!

Link please RDW. Pretty pwease with cherries on top!

What a howler by Hogg, such a soft try. Full backs need to do the basics first!

Cheers RDW you are a true gent!

Classic Scottish rugby - bath have had to do very little yet have 10 points

One word: Murchie

Good kick Weir, Glasgow look good going forward, especially Bennett and Seymour. Hoggy owes the team a big game now

Come on Warrirors, us Pro12 peasants gotta show them what we're all about!

Anyone else need a link while I'm here??

Another good kick, Weir is playing well so far

RDW_Scotland wrote:Anyone else need a link while I'm here??

Pretty sure Kellock would have dealt with that situation better than pyrgos

Not sure what the ref is on about - the lineouts were sacked when the jumper was on the ground!

An absolute joy to watch Scottish players executing an overlap and scoring a try out wide!

Well one is from Northern Ireland / USA and the other is a kiwi....but you know what I mean!

Another great try. Tommy Seymour has got to start for Scotland, he is just dangerous every time he gets near the ball. Well played by Maitland as well, though Henson not a great believer in tackling!

Should have been another try!

I thought you guys hated being grouped together with teams from other countries? 4 nations not one league, remember?

Ulster fans - How good a player has Tommy Seymour become?

I think we still had to let him go and we couldn't pick him regularly with Bowe, Trimble and Gilroy ahead of him when he came out of the academy. But hes a bit of a sensation now.

Very unselfish from Hogg - shame it's lead to a Seymour injury!

Oh ffs hopefully seymour isn't too bad

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. So right now it's not a very good wum.

Glasgow are taking them apart. Bath have done nothing apart from score a gift.

Bath are very much here for the taking.

If NZ and Munster are anything to go by, Glasgow need to keep it going for the 80 though!

This is Glasgow at their rampant best now. Bath not in the game at the moment. Need to get Seymour off, no need to take any risks, its a long season and we have DTH on the bench. Not exactly a shabby sub!

Bath have done bugger all yet have 10 points - Glasgow need to be ready for them going up the gears

cakeordeath wrote:Oh ffs hopefully seymour isn't too bad

Looks like 'only' a dead leg to me.

Does look like it's just a dead leg, but I think bringing him off for DTH does make sense.

Glasgow must have left 15 points out there as well - I hope that doesn't come back to bite them

Glasgow have been awesome. Just need some possession! Looking forward to our front row coming on.

Scott Johnson really is a t osser isn't he?

No sense in taking any risks, he is playing well though, my MoM so far and their have been plenty of contenders!

Tell you what, Bath will know they have been a game, Glasgow combining great physicality with fantastic speed of ball. Bath looked shocked, clearly don't watch us very often!

What's annoying me most about SJ is saying 'we did this, we did well....'

It's got nothing to do with him!

Don't get us started on that one....












But yes he is.

You are going to fit right in on the Scottish Rugby threads

yes indeed

Poor execution from Glasgow there - simple hands would have sufficed

Wondered how that would go down. But it just seemed so obvious! Winding me up considerably more than watching us getting a d*cking
