It sounded crap. Were there any positives? How did debut lads/ 2 new signings do?

Nope. Pretty much mince all around (Bennett had a couple of good moments, but he balanced them out), Bwian got carded for a hit off the ball. TMO wanted to card the entire \Glasgow travelling party.General Zod wrote:It sounded crap. Were there any positives? How did debut lads/ 2 new signings do?

I don't think you can read too much into that one really. Yes they didn't look up for it at all but it's an away game and a 2nd string team - if that. Glasgow are always severely depleted when the internationals come around plus they have that huge injury list to deal with.
I've said it before and I'll say it again but even when the first XV are back they're still missing a leader. An Al Kellock type.

Sartorial out for 6 months apparently. Hughes will never have a better chance

Glasgow do their thing and sign some cheap injury cover. Shame as I'd have liked to see Ben Robbins given a run with the squad but maybe he's linked to Edinburgh already?

Chris Fusaro makes his return to competitive rugby this weekend, playing for Heriot's as they face Emerging Italy in the ‘Italian-Scottish Challenge’.
The Scotland international flanker has not played since April and will line up at openside for his old club at Goldenacre on Saturday.
The 27-year-old has 111 Warriors caps to his name as well as four for his country but has been unable to build on those figures so far this season due to a knee injury.
The Scottish side lost the first leg on the “Italian-Scottish Challenge’ 50-33 in Biella last Friday so Fusaro will be looking to help overturn a 17-point defecit for the BT Premiership Champions to win the two-legged tie.
The Coo is dead. Long live The Coo.

Chris Fusaro is involved in a Glasgow Warriors starting line-up for the first time since April as the Warriors return to Guinness PRO12 action against Ospreys.Chris Fusaro starts for Glasgow Warriors tomorrow night
The Scotland international open-side makes his first appearance of the season at Scotstoun on Friday night, as third play fourth.
Josh Strauss, released from Scotland camp, joins Fusaro in the back-row and will captain the side from number 8 with Lewis Wynne starting at blind-side.
Tim Swinson is another player made available to the Warriors this weekend and he joins Brian Alainu’uese in the second-row.
They will scrum down behind Gordon Reid fresh from Scotland duty as well as Corey Flynn and D’Arcy Rae, with the tight-head prop making his first start of the season.
Grayson Hart also makes his first start of the campaign, pairing up with Rory Clegg in the half backs while in the centres Sam Johnson and Nick Grigg combine.
The back three boast nearly 250 Warriors appearances between them as Lee Jones and Sean Lamont flank full-back Peter Murchie.
There is another injury boost on the bench as Ryan Grant is included in a match day squad for the first time since the opening day of the season.
Stirling County prop Adam Nicol will look to bring his fine BT Premiership form to the PRO12, involved with the Warriors for the first time.
BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy players George Horne and Patrick Kelly are in line to make their competitive Glasgow debuts, with both having impressed in the side’s pre-season victory over Canada ‘A’.
Junior Bulumakau also features for the first time this season, rewarded for his fine try-scoring form for Glasgow Hawks.
More than 7,000 tickets have been sold for the match with less than 200 still available and they can be purchased from glasgowwarriors.org.
Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: “Welcoming Chris Fusaro and Ryan Grant back after injury is a real boost.
“They have both worked very hard to get back to full fitness and their inclusion will lift the side for what is going to be a huge challenge against Ospreys,
“Adam Nicol has played very well for Stirling County this season and has looked very impressive training with us over the past few weeks.
“George Horne and Patrick Kelly have earned their first opportunities to be involved with the squad and wre looking forward to see them take the game to the opposition.”

From a Scotland POV... So we know Reid, Swinson and Pyrgos are not involved.
Bennett and Hughes involved in some capacity which suggests Hoyland is being ignored again.
Sounds like minimal changes for Scotland.

George Horne will be interesting to see. By all accounts has been great so far this season so hopefully he can make a bit of a breakthrough over the next few months
