Oh ffs Seymour is injured

Hopefully it is not as bad as it looks.

Thanks for the link 

That was a nasty bang for Tommy. VC must be closing his eyes watching these games, the squad is rapidly getting trimmed!

At best he will have a concussion. Probably going to miss the AI's

Link please guys?

Great defence from Montpellier Glasgow should have come away with the score

How was that a maul. Glasgow stepped back

6-9

Cheers Golden

Montpellier getting all the pen decisions at scrum time this is pathetic

Hogg has been poor

Interesting scrum decisions guess Doyle has decided who to ping

looks like i found a good link

That was perfectly legit from Fusaro..

Dunbar off at half time - hope he's not injured

FFS Weir

A shaky start for Weir. An odd substitution unless he was injured

Glasgow hanging on a bit here - Montpellier making a lot of mistakes

Maitland off as well now, that's not good

Offside by a country mile

Glasgow under real pressure

Fantastic defence from Glasgow. Ref not doing us any favours though

Great work from Bennett

Mark Bennett really coming of age this season. What a fantastic run

The home crowd are starting to get a bit peed here!

Should have kicked for the corner

a 2 score game now. Cool kicking from Russell, that's why he needs to play, he has nerves of steel

How many long range kicks has Hogg missed now? Should have gone to the corner

How long to go and up to date score please?

15-6 Glasgow 3 to go

Cheers fella.

Doyle is desperate for Montpelier to get something out of this game

82 minutes and they're still trying to set a scrum?

Odd. Surely Glasgow cannot lose this now?

Strange call take the kick you still get the LBP

cakeordeath wrote:Strange call take the kick you still get the LBP

Agreed. Totally weird. They have nothing to gain by scoring.

I sense a penalty try. Scrums have been reffed like a moron

Why has the game gone on for 85 minutes?

2 from 2, top of the pool again. Job done

I see it's ended now. Great results Glasgow, good to see someone else flying the flag for the Pro12 in the away games. Ospreys completely hammered by George North. Glad St G has hit form in time for AIs though.

Incredible win for Glasgow.

I think they really need Welsh and Grant back if they are going to make it in this competition though - life is so much more difficult when your scrum is getting mashed

Great win, showed some guts but that wasn't spectacular.

Shame about the penalty try but thats what you get when 3 of your best props are injured and the best scrummaging loosehead Yanuyanutawa isn't selected.

Great effort Glasgow. Even managing to match Edinburgh's 2 from 2

What else can we say about Glasgow. They can do it pretty and they can do it ugly. Whatever it takes indeed!

Great result for Glasgow,great to see them stepping up in Europe.I thought they would do it last year but it took a little longer,hopefully now they will go on and make a splash in the competition.

That's going to be a very valuable win, because watching the Bath game, it's going to be an absolute biatch to try and beat this Toulouse side.

You guys know I like to make my jokes, to make light of situations and to assault the world with my cotton bud-sharp wit.

Tonight though... I have no words. I'm just bloody proud of my team.

Importantly, how's Scotland's best back (or player outright) Tommy Seymour?

Nem, I don't know if you saw the match, but they showed him later in the game on his phone, presumably telling his mum that, yes, he really is absolutely fine.

I imagine that normal concussion protocols will apply. That should open the door for Rory Hughes against Treviso.

Brilliant - no I didn't see the match, just read that he'd been stretchered off in a neck brace after several minutes of on-pitch treatment. Didn't know what happened after that.
