Playing at?

Sorry He's playing at 8.

Fagerson punched their 9 in the head and got away with it

His temper tantrums are really starting to grind my gears now.

Me too. He looks like a lad who is trying to be hard in front of his mates. Should just ignore all that pish coz he’s a good player. Let the opposition waste their energy.

He does it every f*cking game. I agree he's a good player but playing poorly by his own original high standards. I think we need to appreciate he's a 21 year old TH prop. His progress so far is unreal and with Nel constantly injured an enormous amount of weight has been placed on his shoulders. It can't be easy.

Suspect that the new Tongan lad will be the starting Glasgow 3 if he gets his fitness up although that will be at least 2-3 months away. That's probably what's best for Fagerson. Out of the spotlight and a much needed kick up the backside to improve his game.

[Matt Ha]

Agree that Fagerson needs to be able to concentrate his aggression on what is needed.
Frustrating game for Glasgow. Played some fantastic rugby, made a huge number of line breaks but often blew the chance. Excellent handling to create the chance but then one Hail Mary passes too many.

Niko adds another year to his stay.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

The worst kept secret is out, Jonny Gray 2 year deal.

He'll certainly be off in 2020 and he'll be a hell of a player by then if he keeps this up.

Good news.

The next two seasons are all or nothing for Glasgow IMO.

Hogg OOC in 2019 and Jones/Gray OOC in 2020. All if they continue on current trends will have money thrown at them.

[Mikey Brown]

Ashe back fit. If he can even manage 80 on the bench without hurting himself I'll be pleased.

Good to see Z-Fag, Price get a rest and M-Fag, Horne get another start.

[OptimisticJock]

That should be a bp before ht

David Sisi who starts for Zebre is actually SQ.

Can he play prop?

Wouldn't be much worse than Berghan.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Glasgow are well on top due to their attack but that try they conceded around 61 mins really annoyed me. Zebre are picking and going and are quite literally centimetres from the try line. Due to Russell making the last tackle he is the first defender to the blindside of the ruck with Fagerson second.

You can quite literally see the Zebre forward poised and waiting at the back of the ruck with his finger tips on the ball. Fagerson and Russell think now is a good time to swap defensive positions. As soon as they do the Zebre player barges over the line.

Clever from Zebre but utter f*cking amateur level idiocy from the Glasgow pair. Finn laughing about it as well which grinds my gears.

Like the look of the Italian number 8

Thoughts:

We are screwed at hooker from a Scotland POV if McInnally goes down. Even Pat Mac is injured.

Rennie should have been asked to start Rae as this is a dead rubber anyway. He needs more game time & he may well be needed in Cardiff.

Wilson still MIA.

4 scrum halves in the 23...

[General Zod]

Looking at that team, I’m surprised Price is starting! Hope Jones goes well and earns a week off next week.

I'd have Cochrane and Lawson ahead of Pat Mac.

Good to see Ashe back. Hopefullu he lasts a few games.

[OptimisticJock]

Folk not interested in getting into the squad on Tuesday buy the looks of things.

[General Zod]

Dear me. This could be 50.

Price looks slow in a foot-race - not sure if it’s him or his opposite number is quicker.

[whatisthejava]

cant really blame the weeg, nothing to play for and a chance that they get injured before the 6N

[Edinburgh in Exile]

Eeeeesh, this is looking rough.
