Seems Leicester have learnt nothing from the Sale game. No guard and an easy try. Amateur clubs can get that right FFS.

Leicester not bothering with fringe defence at all!

No better team to find gaps around the fringes than Glasgow.

And same again. Glasgow fans are seeing why we were so negative over our defensive frailties.

Leicester getting destroyed here.

Neck roll on Cole pre third try. Glasgow lucky not to see a second yellow. 

Tigers defence is a disgrace.

Cockerill should be gone by the seasons end.

Straight round the side at the maul. Glasgow know it's our only attacking weapon so are sacking it as quickly and by any means.

To be replaced by whom?

Hoping that wind helps us in second half

You at the game?

Stuck at the opera. How are the Glasgow forwards holding up?

Not too bad now they have cut out the niggle, if I was on the pitch I would of punched someone by now but the again I have a short fuse

Just saw the first half highlights.

That Toomua tackle was very bad - cannot understand what else would needed to have happened for that to have been a red. I didn't think that you penalised the result, only the action, but that's what seems to have happened there.

It was bed but he ref followed the correct interpretation so yellow was correct.

But I think it should of been a red, I don't think he intended to do it but it was still dangerous

When did tom May sign for tigers

Don't know, nathan, but it looked intentional to me. It was a clear cut spear tackle. That's why I think it deserved red, even though the player didn't land on his head.

Youngs off, Thacker on.

I have to disagree, purely in the basis that Hogg was twisting mid air

Ref doesn't know why the scrum is unstable so gives a free kick. Sigh.

The Glasgow collapse and get away with it because the ball is at 8.

That last decision annoyed me, it was clear that Glasgow dropped it yet he is trying to speed the game up

Glasgow being dicks off the ball.

Furk if plastic pitches.


(Damn them it all there fault).

That would have been a fantastic try.

Stupid step in from the outside man gives Sarto all the room in the world to make that break. The defending is just so dumb.

Welly, our boys are giving as good as they get.

Glasgow stood up there after they started turning the scrum. They get away win it because they go forward on the back of it.

Shocking decision. Mulipola is straight and Glasgow scrum straight across. Incompetent reffing.

Tigers are clueless and Cockerill should be sacked. Quite frankly Tigers are a joke these days.

He's probably not got long left.

My BT reception is down. Has the ref gifted Glasgow the fourth try yet?

25 - 13

It's returned. Looked certain that the ref was going to pen try us even though Glasgow were boring in.

Slater on should hopefully give us some leadership.

How was that not given as a knock on? Ref really is trying to gift Glasgow after only giving toomua a yellow in the first half

Tigers player works through on to the ball and then tackles the player. Ref gives a penalty. He's useless.

Glasgow get the bonus point they deserve.

Unsurprisingly it comes from a Tigers mistake. Tait offloading straight to him.

I'd much rather see Mauger gone than Cockerill tbh.

Glasgow flattered a little by the scoreline although their control in this half has been good.

Our forwards really fronted up and the likes of Grigg has been superb given that he had about an hour's notice he would be on the field at all.

Called it.

The difference between the sides has been the defence. Glasgow have been cohesive and aggressive and Tigers haven't. Glasgow have applied pressure and forced mistakes and Tigers didn't. 

If I was a Tigers player I'd be hiding in the changing room after the game because after theor bollocking from Cockers the fans wi be lining up to tell them they are a disgrace.

Don't believe that. Two intercepts.

Come on Sam.

As the club that probably score more penalty tries then the rest of the the league combined you can't really complain about another team almost scoring one, especially when the ref seems to bottle giving it!

42-13 Glasgow now, 2 mins to go.

Bateman has been a waste of space since he came on. Bring back Balmain. He might play with a shred of pride.

Glasgow have won 8 turnovers, Tigers none.

That does mean something.

I can when the opposition's tighthead prop has his backside facing the referee. Not even a hint of pushing straight. The ref was poor.

Glasgow were very good and fully deserved to give us a kicking.

Great representation of the Pro12 in the first game, well played Glasgow, very well played.

Very well played, Glasgow. Wonderful rugby.
