Should clubs be deducted points if found to have not followed protocol.

Both saints and Munster and the players have resorted to saying they were not unconscious.
Kinda think if in doubt sit them out
Not sure what else would work with big clubs, fines are a joke as they have to be so small not to jepardize the viability of any club.

Glasgow going for Jones. I mean he looks a great player, but Jones, Dunbar, Bennet, Horne, Vernon, Johnson and Grigg all fighting for the centre spots?
Two of them seem almost permanently injured, but still.

Gregor Townsend has named an unchanged starting XV for tomorrow’s final European Rugby Champions Cup pool match at Welford Road.Jonny Gray wil captain the side at Welford Road tomorrow
The Warriors know a win against Leicester would guarantee them a place in the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time.
Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour and Lee Jones make up the back-three.
Mark Bennett and Alex Dunbar form the centre partnership, while Finn Russell and Ali Price once again combine at stand-off and scrum-half respectively.
Gordon Reid, Fraser Brown and Zander Fagerson will pack down in the front-row, while Tim Swinson and captain Jonny Gray are in the engine room.
Rob Harley is at blind-side flanker, with Ryan Wilson at open-side and Josh Strauss at Number 8.
On the bench Brian Alainu'uese returns from suspension and Henry Pyrgos has recovered from injury.
Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: “Leicester have an excellent home record in this competition and we’re expecting a very tough 80 minutes at Welford Road.
“We have prepared really well for the game and our players returned to training this week full of energy and determination.
"It’s good that we’re able to name the same starting XV for this crucial game and we’re also boosted this week by the return of Brian (Alainu'uese) and Henry (Pyrgos) on the bench.”

If Glasgow win then they're through. No other game will make a difference. If Glasgow draw or lose then it gets messy and other results come into it, I think stains beating Montpellier in France would be one burning can't remember.OptimisticJock wrote:I've got a hangover that would kill a civvy so can't be arsed trying to work it out.

As good as you could expect but after the drop goal debacle last week I would have had Clegg on the bench. You need a 10 who has that in his locker in case it's needed. Hopefully Glasgow don't need it but the Tigers have put out a pretty strong side...

Baddies team
Leicester Tigers:
M Tait;
A Thompstone,
P Betham,
J Roberts,
T Brady,
F Burns,
B Youngs;
G Bateman,
T Youngs (capt),
D Cole,
E Slater,
M Fitzgerald,
M Williams,
L McCaffrey,
L Hamilton.
Replacements: H Thacker, E Genge, P Cilliers, D Barrow, W Evans, S Harrison, O Williams, M Smith.
Pretty solid Leicester team, clearly thinking that even if qualification is behind them that a win will be good for Mauger and team morale.

Think it's better for Glasgow would be to easy to stay close and then lose by 8. Go for the win and the tries and get 5th placed finish

If sarries beat toulon by 8 or more points at toulon don't score a try then Glasgow need a losing BP
Anything else and Glasgow need 2 points
