There, that's better. For some reason my works firewall didn't like page 18.

A prop never makes their bra size public. Anyway does the thought of my pillowy man boosums make your day go faster?

In other news I'm away on my long overdue honeymoon tomorrow morning - off to USA and Canada for a few weeks.

It probably won't go down too well with Mrs RDW if I'm on here all the time so you're on your own! Good luck to Glasgow and Edinburgh in their respective Euro QFs.

GC has been given the keys and is being left in charge so be nice....

By jaysus, there are going to be some changes around here, let me tell you.

What's your manifesto? Can we ban Welsh people, generally?

Glasgow front row forwards using metaphors?? Sounds a bit too MFL for your liking....

Hogg named player of the tournament.

They should select Laidlaw, Biggar, Farrell and Halfpenny in the same team, and demand that the series be decided by penalty shootout (I'll never forget Jordan Crane's effort to knock out Cardiff in the old European Cup competition).

If he's fit then I think Hogg will start. There is no case for Halfpenny unless you need his boot (in the same way as Jenkins was picked at 15 in 1997).

[Tattie Scones RRN]

Increments of 7 are better than increments of 3.

FACT! (in capitals so you know it's true).

I would agree. Gatland will become SCW incarnate for this test.

This is what girls from Ayr look like:


I presume you were talking about girls, but on second thoughts I have heard a few stories about Edinburgh public schools so I probably shouldn't assume anything...

[Mad for Chelsea]

Didn't Russell have a better kick percentage than Halfpenny in the tournament anyway? IIRC Russell only missed two kicks (the one against France which wasn't entirely his fault anyway, and one from the right touchline against Italy - Scott's try?), kicked some beauties too. Halfpenny kicked superbly vs France, but was a bit ropey early on I thought. If Gats picks him ahead of Hogg I may not even bother watching, no way the Lions will beat the ABs by kicking penalties anyway.

On to more interesting matters, who's going to the Sarries QF? And does anyone have a single ticket somewhere in the vicinity of A211 or L211 (North stand)? Asking because oddly couldn't book two tickets together (for my brother and myself), so booked separately, but if someone's willing to swap with one of us... Will check in on the Warriors forum too just in case.

For the Edinburgh game this weekend

[BigGee]

A surprisingly strong Glasgow side out to play Connacht. A few niggles amongst the international forwards, which is no great surprise. I imagine they will be fit for next weekend. It does not look like they have given up on the league quite yet!

14. Sean Lamont (110)
13. Nick Grigg (15)
12. Peter Horne (109) CAPTAIN

[funnyExiledScot]

Have we discussed the Simon Danielli story on here - it's in the Times today. His wife was cheating on him so he followed her one day and, allegedly, ended up decking the other bloke after chasing him down the street (which leads me to question the pace of the other bloke, and also ruling out Sean Lamont).

He's in the dock and it doesn't appear to be looking good for him.

[funnyExiledScot]

Surprised to see Russell and Hogg starting this one, albeit Hogg didn't really feature in the England game. Handy Glasgow side that, and should come away with a win.

Pretty much full strength from Edinburgh as well. I think we'll still struggle though.

[BigGee]

Edinburgh could do Glasgow a big favour if they could get a result down at Scarlets. They have brought most of there Welsh International players straight back in. You would imagine that they would have been a little jaded after last weekend!

Thanks FES, I laughed out loud at this one and got the "what's so funny look" from the bulk of my open plan office.

[RuggerRadge2611]

I'm weary of insulting AWJ, doing that on here is like walking into someone's house and punching their sainted mother really hard in the middle of the face.

Is it just me though or is he wildly mediocre. From a Scotland point of view would I take him over either Gray? No.

Would England Take him over Launchbury, Lawes, Kruis or Itoje? No.

Would Ireland take him over Ryan or Henderson? Doubtful.

I'm terrified of the backlash posting that in public though....

the other bloke could have been Ben Atiga or Jack Cuthbert

[jimbopip]

Radge, no fears about a backlash for boasting about punching grey haired old ladies in the kisser but worried about upsetting AWJ groupies.

[George Carlin]

Bear in mind that AWJ is currently officially broken and won't come back from his shoulder injury until the Pro 12 playoffs:

[jimbopip]

Doesn't matter George. He's Gatland's man and that's that.
I feel that Dunbar and Dancer, not to mention Shrek-KEM-Ragnar, Jonny and Swinson may all feel they have a point to prove next Sunday. Hopefully they do it in a most satisfying way.

[Eejit]

Bloody hate this off off off stuff.

[George Carlin]

27-18 to the cleaning product avoiders, with 20 to go.

Anyone watching it? Any good?

[Eejit]

Red card Swinson, ffs.

[marty2086]

Red card Swinson, ffs.

That has been coming for Glasgow, they have been tackling high all game and Connacht have taken quite a few shoulders to the head in this game

[George Carlin]

30-21.

Could really, really use that bonus point try.

[Pot Hale]

Bloody good game between Glasgow and Connacht. Lots of high tackles more seed in the first half but still a good fast match. These are best two sides to throw it about. Bit of a lottery on who wins though. 30-21 with 4 mins to play looks like the Scots have it.

[Pot Hale]

Make that 30-24 with 3 mins to play.

[George Carlin]

The Schlong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pot Hale]

Amazing! Tommy Seymour breaks through soft tackles and gets the BP try.

[Eejit]

Here this young Lamont chap has some wheels...

35-24 to the good guys.

[Pot Hale]

Typical. An Irishman takes Connacht down. No lbp for Connacht.

[A Simply Mesmeric Try]

Amazing!  Tommy Seymour breaks through soft tackles and gets the BP try.

You'll find that wasn't Tommy. That was ye olde Sean Lamont!

[George Carlin]

Give that man another 3 year contract.
Take him right up to his 70th birthday.

[Pot Hale]

Lamont Seymour. They've all got beards and look the same.

[George Carlin]

Amazing!  Tommy Seymour breaks through soft tackles and gets the BP try.

You'll find that wasn't Tommy. That was ye olde Sean Lamont!

When Sean started playing, the scoreboard was in Roman numerals.

[Pot Hale]

Where's Lamont from?
