Mr T is on a rampage. Glasogw have been so, so guilty of not using this guy this season. He's so difficult to stop.
Finn Russel throws a quick inside ball to him and he bursts through three tackles no problem. Takes a bunch of them to get him down but he manages an offload anyway... knocked on sadly.
Gordon Reid is such a troll, he's pulled De Marchi's shirt over his head twice in quick succession and De Marchi can't help but come around the side of a ruck illegally to give him a wee push. Great goading.
Pyrgos takes a quick tap and is hauled down just short of the try line, Horne bundles over.

Yeah they imploded later on in the first half but they have their third try after 42 mins. Favaro runs onto an offload after hoggy's dancing feet fool about 5 defenders.
Glasgow go wide, marked heavily but Hogg gets the ball with a few metres space in front of him accelerates and just glides through the remaining 4-5 defenders. He's continuing his 6N form.
Russell unlucky with the toucline conversion as it bounces straight back off the post.
26-16. Bonus point secured. Time to chip away at the scoreboard and grind out the win.

Not really. The tries weren't fluid attacking moves. One was off the back of a maul the other was second phase after a Pyrgos tap and go from quite a distance.
Glasgow go for touch instead of kicking the points... I know you lot think I'm a party pooper but I genuinely think this is poor decision making. Try or not.

Cheers, I'll just wait for the highlights on YouTube then. They just showed the try's I missed, Hogg in the build up to one of them was class agian. Can't fault the cats form right now.

Perhaps it wasn't as kickable as I thought.
Marginal call. I know what you are getting at, but it looks to me like the weeg were trying to kill off any remaining hope that Treviso had. It paid off, but as is always said, it's a result dependent decision.
Could also be going after a bit of a points difference buffer for the final 4.
