Can we make absolutely clear, I'm LawrenceBryce delighted that Glasgow are in the quarter finals?

Love it. Two teams, playing different styles of rugby.

Hope we both get to the semis.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

Agreed. Great for Scottish rugby, and if Glasgow can get some of their pack back fit (Brown, Turner, Fagerson, Gray, Gibbins) they can take it to Sarries. Maybe only a 20% chance of an all-Scottish semi, but just think of the financial boost for Scottish rugby of a packed-out Murrayfield semi and a team in the final...

Actually, yeah. Brown, Fagerson, Gibbons and Gray back to himself would be a very different team. Add Huw Jones into the backs and it could give them a shock.

Huw Jones is no good for Glasgow, Nick Grigg deserves the start.

They won't beat Sarries away even with their forwards back. Sarries (especially at home) are a juggernaut. Sarries and Leinster are just different gravy.

I honestly don't give Glasgow more than a 5% chance of beating Saracens.

They don't have enough about them in the forwards and Sarries will be a lot more controlled in the half backs next time.
