Good try for Murchie.
And tekkers from Russell with that conversion

Bad loss for Scarlets with Williams going off

Aled Davies is a very slow player, his passing and kicking isn't great either. Why does he get picked ahead of not just one, but TWO international standard scrum-halves?

Jordan on. Lookout.

Terrible lineout.

In the direction of the wind and rain.

IMINENT change in pace of play and better/faster passing with Gareth Davies on the field.

Well Italy are the only country in the league with decent weather....!

Come on Glasgow. Let's get the bonus point

Class work there by Fraser Brown! Good try by DTHVDM

What a tackle by Fraser Brown on the Scarlets 9. Love seeing that happen.

I'm sorry but the ref is having a mare. He even has second looks at things and still gets them wrong. Glasgow are really not getting anything from him

Depends what you mean by "decent". Rain is good.

Dry, not to cold and windless here in Italy this week

Having been discussing refs I have tried to pay particular attention. I don't think he made any real mistakes. two or three times the commentators made mistakes as to why a decision had been made which was rather misleading.

I thought that really was a great performance by Glasgow. Relentless in defence to the point they squeezed the life out of the Scarlets attack. Fowards were immense with the ball in hand and the offloading was shall we say "entertaining" Matowalo at the heart of everything - good or bad. I guess he comes out in credit overall.

Great win for Glasgow, easier than what i thought it would be. Cusack's scrummaging was as good as before in the 1st half and Glasgow was superior in every facet of the game apart for the 15 position.

Hope BigGee had a great time out there

So not wet, not cold and not windy? No weather at all then. Sounds really boring.

No not much happening, it's neither cloudy nor sunny.

Good rugby conditions... I watched a local side play on Wednesday night. Great open game.

Injured - shoulder I think.

Wow what a great night. Well worth the bumpy plane ride up here. A great atmosphere at Scotstoun and a much better performance from Glasgow. You could see they were up to it right from the off.

A couple of lovely lads from Llanelli were ditting in frknt of us having trsvelled up to support their team. Hsd a lovely bit of banter with them.

Looking forward to seeing game on TV and well done to Edinburgh as well. Starting to show some consistency at last. What with that and Glasgow back on track, a gery hood night fod Scottish rugby.

Off to bed now and tomorrow off to see the Kelpies!
