Mexico 17/18

[solidarity]

Been impressed by Edinburgh tonight. Played a lot of good stuff and should have came away with more from the game. Leinster doing what they do best, punishing mistakes but a lot of huff and puff otherwise.

Thought the ref and linesmen were a bit one sided, even right at the end unless the screen clock was wrong there was time to throw in as the clock was not red before the ball went out

Agreed. A few home town decisions. I noticed that the ref seemed to talk to Sexton a lot more than anyone else. Some refs seem to suck up to the star players. I know he was captain but while the ref treated Sexton like is best mate, Johnny was, shall we say, aloof.

So, Mexico didn't exactly come back from a chastening experience in SA all guns blazing then. I assume FOLK will decree Embra favourites when we play them.

Already a degree of separation in both the Strong Section and our Weak Section. Not many of you would have expected the Cheetahs to be jockeying but as I said weeks back, they'll do very well at home and we're lucky not to have to go there this season. I also expect the Cheetahs to be better away when the Currie Cup is done with.

It occurred to be this morning, there could well be a chance we might end up there in the knockout rounds for both teams will get to them.

If only we played leinstertainment this week.

[Dave]

Glasgow and Leinstertainment are absolutely going at each other full pelt. Three tries in the first 12 minutes.

[Dave]

14-14. Unreal skill from Matawalu.

[Dave]

Jordi Murphy in the bin

[Cap'n Grumpy]

First half for both teams to get a try bonus point

Second half to decide the winner?

3 tries to 2 in 22 minutes. Defences on top ..... NOT!

[Cap'n Grumpy]

There's the BP for Weegies - run from their own try-line the length of the field.

[Cap'n Grumpy]

BTW -that's 24 minutes

[Dave]

21-14 now to Glasgow

[Cap'n Grumpy]

21-14 now to Glasgow

do keep up

28 -14

[Dave]

Unreal try!! Matawalu is unplayable.

[Dave]

21-14 now to Glasgow

do keep up

28 -14

Soz. I'm watching on the BBC website it's usually a bit behind.

[Cap'n Grumpy]

Ref just called a forward pass by weegies inside their own 22

I reckon he called it just because he couldn't keep up, otherwise weegies were away again
