Good to see Vernon, Cummings and Ashe there.
Vernon looks like forward cover, is that just desperation or is he not a centre anymore?

Definitely a team of backups but a decent one at that. Particularly interested in Cummings' return. A good end to the season and he could be a bolter for the summer tour

10 games, 2 starts. Bar one game he's brought the experience and solidity he was signed for.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Corey Flynn? What do you mean?

Glad they've signed up Hughes, he's turning into a grand player, plus he's a total mentalist.
The Coo is dead. Long live The Coo.

Fair enough, I guess I just didn't notice him, am usually pissed or getting the earache off the mrs during the matches on tv.hp18 wrote:10 games, 2 starts.

As he's capped at SA U20s I'm guessing that rules him out as SQ through his dad..Adder wrote:They have now signed Brandon thomson from the stormers. A flyhalf they say

I know Hastings was in talks with Glasgow. I thought it was close to being done.

Woops. Should have looked it up - Thomson is until the end of the season only. This shouldn't affect Hastings.

Ah, that is interesting. Wonder whether it is with a view to extending. Alternatively might suggest Horne isnt back any time soon. As a short term it sounds fine but long term im dubious about imported backups unless there really is no one.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Woops.

Only recently, Toby. Dell was capped by them before they nominated it. Not sure when.. 2014/15? But he's tied. Hope Glasgow & the SRU realise as I've seen a couple of articles talking about his Scottish connection!Tobylerone wrote:I see..hugh_woatmeigh wrote:They have.Tobylerone wrote:

Anyway onto the game... Glasgow take an early lead as Allan savages yet another opponent at scrum time. 3-0. Very young starting back... can't have an average age of much more than 23 or 24.

What a bizarre penalty to give away. Did Jonhson roll away? No. But he didn't impede the presentation of the ball at all. Mental.
Then again.. it is Clancy.

Grigg has made two scorching clean breaks but throws panicky passes immediately afterwards. Very promising, needs a bit of polishing though.

Nah. He was going for the ball but was too fat and slow.
