A word on Rodney Ah You - what a colossal doghnut, to put it nicely. On the replays he looked pleased with the intentional high tackle, which could have caused serious damage. That could have been the catalyst for Glasgow to score, losing Connacht a historic triumph. I hope for Connacht's sake he is at least benched.

I hear he's been told by Lam that Connacht lost, that he's been banned from watching any more TV, using his smartphone or computer; that's he's been given his directions to Ulster already.... via Peru, by way of Mongolia, across the Himalayas - and told to enjoy the trip.

Of course the opposing joke will be that Kiss will turn him into a player everyone will be after come this time next season.

I think you might be right. After watching him yesterday, I'm not disappointed he is coming to Ulster. There's a bit of dog in him, and that's what the Ulster pack lacks. There's more to him than the last season suggests. Schmidt did see something about his game that merited an inclusion in the Ireland squad. Maybe, like Williams, he will improve in the Ulster set up. At least that's what I'm hoping.

He showed this fight in him sitting on the bench for the rest of the match??

I think he might need an almighty boot up the hole, looked like he was blowing after 2 minutes. I think if we can get him fired up and fit he could be a much needed battering ram for us. Theres only so much Hendy and Mccloskey can do

Muldoon is a real warrior, leading a hardworking pack and Connacht must have some of the best backs in the NH right now.  

Hope you can win it now.

Finn Russell remains under observation in hospital following a clash of heads in the first minute of Saturday's GUINNESS PRO12 Play-Off in Galway.

However, his condition has improved significantly over the last couple of days and it's been confirmed that he does not require surgery.

Russell, who was transferred from University Hospital in Galway to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, is expected to be discharged later this week.

His return to training date will be determined when he is back in Glasgow.

Glasgow Warriors would like to thank the Connacht medical team, players and staff for their support. The club would also like to thank the University Hospital in Galway and Beaumont Hospital in Dublin for all their help.

Finn and his family really appreciate all the messages of support, with which they have been inundated.

Other players are still being assessed by the Glasgow Warriors medical team following Saturday's match against Connacht.

Further updates will be provided when available.
