Cardiff Leinster could be an excellent game, they have already beat Glasgow at the Arms Park, so should be a tough game for the Mexicans.

Connacht are struggling big time at the minute, however Edinburgh have been average so far as well - their only win was at home v the Scaaarlets. They struggled big time at the scrum on Sat. Surely the Westies will get that 1st win on Friday.

Turnips will need to stay awake, Zebre almost did the Taffies last weekend and got denied by the weather previous week so they should be well wound up for their trip to Turnipstan

Solomons has quit at Edinburgh.

In other news the SRU are holding a vote next month, to allow them to sell the Glasgow and Edinburgh sides to private investors.

Glasgow have signed the US International Backrower Langilangi Haupeakui on a 2 year deal. Was playing in the US PRO League. He is very powerful, but very raw - some highlights at:

Can't wait to see our best backline in Europe face Zebre to see the damage we cause. Wasps just put 12 tries on them..
