He has a large amount of padding around his stomach, for some reason.

Ahhhhhh

No Barnes, it was a scrum advantage.

Plus also Glasgow are awesome!

Yay. That's the bonus point secure

Those would be the points we were looking for. Fantastic from Glasgow, keep this up!

Bonus point try!!!!

Hogg off? Why?

Injured

Man of the match?  Nakawara for sure

Glasgow will really miss DTH, he is a phenomenal player.

Right Al. You show em how to inspect some rucks in style

Hold the phone, there is some grade A ruck inspecting about to happen

I love the slow motion effects they put on when he gets the ball to make his retirement more dramatic

Matawalu getting a stinker of a reception! lol!

Back to Springwatch. The bearded boobie is on.

Not to condone what Matawalu did but you can't complain he went against the spirit of rugby and then boo him into the pitch.

They showed a replay, DTH the man saved the try on POC which was a key moment in the game

It's not rain it's munster tears

No way was that a penalty!

Thanks for the replay of him popping his shoulder back in. lovely...

Well played GlasFiji. Some silverware at last

Best team won.

Congratulations to Glasgow!

Coooome on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cosmiserations Munster, it's been a pleasure the last few days.

Well done Glasgow, cracking performance.

Well done Glasgow. Fully deserved that!

Well done Glasgow. Played the best rugby in the league so well deserved winners.

Wow!

No controversy about that, game won and won well. Just reward for a team who've been quality all season, congrats Glasgow and good for Big Al going out in style

Come on the weegies!

Well done Glasgow! My second team (Apart from a few days last weekend into this week!)

Chuffed for you all!

Can't wipe the smile off my face

Brilliant Glasgow.

Hope you challenge for the 1872 next year.

Well played Glasgow.

I am very proud of that.

What a day, chaps. What a day.

Well done Glasgow Enjoy the evening

What a game, what a team. Glasgow won the title in the style that they play in, just blowing the opposition off the park.

I am so proud of those boys!

Well I am not going to lie to you, I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Its been a journey for Glasgow, every setback along the way seems to have been absorbed and digested. There was no luck about this win, it was built on hard work and dedication and was all the sweater for the way it happened.

It is just so fantastic to see a side who play the way Glasgow do to get their reward. It really has been a privilege to support them!

Wow!

Fantastic Glasgow. I may have disagreed with some of your supporters in the past but that was epic

But let's not forget, lads.

Edinburgh won the 1872 Cup.

So they're better than us.

Cant disagree with that George

Hugely pleased to see Glasgow win the final in such style. The way the team has steadily grown in strength (and support) during the last few years has been very impressive. I don't think the Pro12 trophy has ever had such jubilant winners. Very well deserved and a great thing for the Pro12 and rugby in general. Enjoy your night Warriors fans!

Well done Weegies, proving you're the best in the league by playing like that is the best way to win the silverware. Have a good party tonight, you deserve it.
