Looking forward to booing Gregor Townsend every time he comes up on screen at Murrayfield next week. Should never have got the job in the first place, should have lost it in 2019, should have definitely lost it in 2023.

At least there’s just another 18 months of this ahead of us.

If only there was a hooker in Scotland who has impeccable lineout throwing, in good form, starting for his club who are top of the league and unbeaten in Europe. And man of the match in multiple recent games.

A competent coach would have taken Ashman off by now

Leave Ashman in Italy

I hope that this 6N (ideally today) is the end of Ewan Ashman as the starting hooker. Ridiculous to be a team that kicks to the corner but then play a hooker that can’t throw

As an antidote to all the ITV chat, watched #FRAvIRE on Germany’s ProSieben. The guys on comms were actually excited about the game with a good balance in catering for fans & newbies alike. No constant ref chat and pronunciations were spot on, which again, English comms could never

That’s one of the best finishes I’ve ever seen #GLAvMUN

Gregor Hiddleston really making Gregor Townsend look daft tonight

Well, I think I speak for literally every person in Wales not currently a board member when I say: Fuck the WRU.

HOW ABOUT THAT?!

… and as he’s made clear before, this stuff really gets to him

Needs a Glasgow win first and foremost, but Edinburgh look like they’re going to be the 15th seed 👀

The constant booing of Stuart Hogg every time he's involved should be worth a bonus point for the Ospreys alone

That’ll be the Bulls as 16th seed. Stupid format to get through with one win (albeit away) having conceded 181 points in just four games. That being said, another Glasgow vs Bulls grudge match in the last 16 sounds fun.

Spending all evening watching his first game of the season (last Saturday) whilst periodically reaching out and touching the screen with James Blunt’s ‘Goodbye My Lover’ blaring in the background. TL;DR: Devastated

R16 as it stands, plenty of changes to come of course but, that’s quite the stinker for Glasgow at the moment. Credit to @rugbykino.bsky.social for last year’s spreadsheet that’s been the template here

5 seconds or so of madness cost us 14 points, but otherwise that was impressive. Really gritty performance and puts us in an unbelievable position going into the final week of the pool stage. #ASMvGLA

The faces of the other Clermont forwards, who presumably train with him all the time, would suggest that "maybe" was doing a fair bit of legwork when Pearce asked the Georgian prop, "can you play loose head?"

First half bonus point away from home in Europe, this isn’t my Glasgow Warriors

Available to trash talk your team given Edinburgh have scored 21 points since this

Freddy Douglas and 22 lads that wouldn’t get a game in the reserve leagues

This will never get old

Playing 4-4-2 in 2025 #fcunion

David is having a ball. Women's Rugby in Ireland is slowly recovering. Women's Rugby in Scotland, weeks out from a world cup, are abandoned so David can go on his jollies back home on someone else's dime. Absolutely fuck Nucifora

KO-‘30mins: 23-5 ‘31mins-FT: 3-24

What a test, incredible stuff in the last 50 from the Lions to dig themselves out of the massive hole they dug themselves. Tough on Australia obviously, but they’ve come so far in a week, never mind the last year. They’ll be alright

2009 in reverse. What a game. Incredibly cruel on Australia.

Rugby, bloody hell

We’ve seen it for years, but Finn Russell’s ability to shrug off mistakes and absolutely nail the next action is always astonishing.

Special for Ronan O’Gara to give a mention to Jim Stynes and his legacy in the Lions build up this morning. There aren’t enough characters in a tweet to sum up Jim and all he achieved, but his memoir ‘My Journey’ published shortly after his untimely death is well worth a read.

That’s ridiculous from Pollock, the only person in the world that thought he scored that

When Scots finally stop scoring tries for the Lions, they’re assisting them instead

Some thoughts after sleeping for a bit on that Scotland result. The good: 1) This Fiji side is superb and it’s always good when sides play rugby the way they do and get results. 2) Fergus Burke is legit, the future at 10 is bright. 3) Matt Fagerson, Rory Darge & Jamie Dobie were all great

Cummings, Earl, Mitchell & Huwipulotu the only pass marks for me from that

A ‘test match animal’ that hasn’t played a test match in two years. Yeah right.

Peak DVDM, cost a try, almost cost another before that and then goes up the park and scores in the corner.

Rugby is class

Some journey for Huw to finally become a Lion. Injury during his breakout 16/17 campaign ended his chances of going on the NZ tour. Was in terrible form for the couple of years leading up to 2021 partly due to Dave Rennie playing him at 15 which meant he wasn’t picked for SA

Given sides like Western Force only become a focus of rugby in the UK & Ireland for a couple of days every 12 years, it’s a shame that in the build up on Sky there’s been nothing about the rollercoaster 12 years they’ve had since the last time the played the Lions.

10 of the 23 today were playing a pointless test against Uruguay on 27th of July last year. The first preseason game was on the 31st of August. 250 man games lost to injury this season. It’s been an uphill battle all season, and unfortunately we made it harder at times than it already was.

Coming up against the most expensively assembled side rugby has ever seen, you need to have everyone playing at a 7/10 at least. I don’t think there’s a single player that’s worth even a 4 today

Another try thanks to kicking the ball away for no fucking reason. Disasterclass

FINALLY

40 minutes from hell. Conditions obviously not ideal for how Glasgow want to play, but at this level they have to be able to adapt. Can’t score when we’re constantly playing in our own half.

Horne needs to calm down, playing too desperate and it’s cost us dearly

We’re not winning the contest in the air, so let’s stop with the contestable kicks eh?

Would like to see referees empowered to do something about what Jaden Hendrikse did there. Something like forcing a retake of the kick or throw him out after the spray following the first kick. Utterly pathetic stuff.

Serie A player of the season. What a beautiful story.

Top class from prem sports there focusing on the red card call as Hollie collects her medal 👌 pick ya moments lads
