even if its not down, bath will have 5yd scrum....

I don't understand how the ref sees a knock on and says play on ... before the Glasgow try a clear knock on by Glasgow caught by their own player in front should have been a penalty to Bath and he says play on?

This is not a try

It's clearly not fashionable in modern European rugby for a match between an English and Celtic team to be an even contest. I'm not one for accusing officials of bias normally, and it's a shame because Bath are playing really well, but the refereeing has bordered on disgraceful.

Yup - the only bath player who looks dangerous to me.

Cracking run from him - again. Fantastic defence to hold him up

Dreading this scrum

Ack, every week there's this stuff about Glasgow. It's been fair enough.

pen try. big call. better just to let the try be scored and force a tough conversion, no?

That was a try, but why a penalty try?

But they scored the try in the corner? Why the penalty try and guaranteed conversion

Lacey might as well just offer to convert

have bath caught a single kickoff? unreal

montpellier in front again!!!

Don't whinge about the ref. It makes you look stupid. Its a pro 12 ref, Glasgow should be used to him. he has given a lot of time at breakdowns and stopped Glasgow getting turnovers but he has been consistent and fair

How much did PRL paid Lacey

Reffed off the park

BT commentary team says "how good a competition is this?"

wonder if BT asked them to mention that LOL

Och come on that try was literally just a try, no penalty involved. Then there was the two identical offside offences one was a penalty the other scrum. Oh and the ridiculous accusation of foul play before the try. It's daylight robbery pal.

Gotta bring on Niko

Yes, not sure why it wasn't just a try where it was touched down.
Then again, the rules might say that the infringement warrants that extra advantage.

Either way, it was just rewards for the Bath pressure. Lots of silly little mistakes from us that gave up the field position which led to that score.

Watson was the guy trying to get the ball down.

Great play by Glasgow.

Can't remember a Scottish centre doing anything as skillful as Bennett just did for a long time. Not saying much to be fair but still good

Matawalu doing his best to help his future team

great bit of footballing skills from seymour there. impressive.

Niko on. Bath fans might see what they're going to get for their money next year.

Hhaha no yellow

stupid commentary team. calm down son. banahan was clearly onside.

Not rolling away there.

Montpellier have won!

Montpellier won!

All to play for

I can't watch

Bath slowing down play here

The jake white factor.

bath are going to put in a huge shove here. can glas get it out fast enough?

this game is aging me greatly

why kick for touch?

I've occassionally thought that Toulon have done just that this year. Luckiest team going, but probably also the strongest.

He fooled everyone there!

Glasgow got robbed

ohhh Maitland

what a great game. try and match saving tackle by joseph. clear motm and england starter at 13.

Gutting - great effort Glasgow though

God I hate bath.

How did maitland not score????

Frak

Yup

Surprised at Toulouse, but after the opening rounds you have to give credit bath. They'll still choke at some stage though, soz.

Nail-biter! Well done Bath

Bad luck Glasgow.

Great that Montpelier put in a performance to beat Toulouse too

I feel like having a little cry
