Thought Gilchrist and Toolis both had an excellent game, in addition to those already mentioned.

Edinburgh have lost the"awe AlainRolland we're beat" attitude, hopefully for good, and Glasgow didn't seem to know what to do when we didn't lie down to them. Officials seemed pretty poor too?

That was an amazing performance. McInally, Toolis and Gilchrist were easily the best players on the park - Mata and CdP were excellent too.

Van Der Walt was excellent - really good player. All the backs played well - it's a shame Kinghorn couldn't get more involved in attack though.

But what a win!

Hats off to Cockerill I thought for a very clever bit of subbing,Ritchie for Fife.Seemed very odd at first but secured the scrum much better then covered on the wing on our ball. Hardly noticed we were a man down.

That was an unbelievable performance. 14 men for 75 minutes, yet I'm sure we will have dominated the possession stats, and Glasgow rarely looked like scoring. It was a phenomenal effort from all the players (except Berghan, of course). I thought Mata was particularly good, although every one of them put in 110% effort. I think next week we'll just have to give the ball to Hamish, because all the rest of them are still going to be knackered. Slightly worrying to see Sutherland with his arm in a sling at the end, as Berghan is going to be banned for a while and we're in danger of running out of props. However, that's a worry for another day, and I'm going to savour that win for a good few days.

If I'm looking at the right player he needs to also learn it is a team game and unload the ball just before he's flattened?

Some highlights. Not best quality and misses the red card incident

Bill Mata. The second coming?

I’m reading this, just in, about to go on to the weeg board and wind.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.
