Sibling Rivalry

Is Murray Douglas fit? he was excellent at generating fast ball from rucks earlier in the season.

Fair point about pinning them back, and their exits have been ropey, but we also need to open up, Im not sure their outside defence is great either. Im not sure we need a tactical battle here, just go after them.

As ever Glasgow can score a lot of points quickly, so we need to turn pressure into points, if not we could get suckered with a couple of quick tries.

Love it!

Glad he's the figurehead of our club.

Aye, but the old clichés are still true, "earn the right..." etc. I think we can go after them in the scrum, Zander has looked very good recently, but I'm not sure he has faced anyone like Schoeman, likewise on the loosehead side, if Kebble isn't available there is a big drop off to the next guy, I've only seen their new Kiwi a couple of times, but again he will be up agin one of three very useful international tightheads. I could be setting myself up for a big prop portion of humble pie here, but I think we are getting into a bit of a rhythm in the scrum, form not seen since peak Dicko.

The lineout will be fascinating, a real dual.

Not sure if it is the tail end or start of a holiday but the Schoe was in Venice 3 days ago, so may be a sign he is having a rest.

In other news he sounds like he wants to stay in Scotland for a while and subtly telling folk he is a bit of a shagger!

I don't have a twitter account but I had a look and if Schoey, WP and Mike Willemse were doing promo stuff today, it would suggest they aren't playing on Saturday right enough

I'm sure Bhatti would like to make a point, good chance for Sutherland, too

Strong squad would possibly only be strengthened by Scott at 12 and could argue Ritchie at 6 over Bradbury.

Bench looks good as well.

Glasgow maybe out of sorts but are always dangerous and are going to get it right at some point.

However if we want to keep improving we have to be going to glasgow, ulster, Munster and winning irrespective of who they put out. This is a big test of where the players heads are at, physically I think we are the better team at present, but if we don't get he top 2 inches right we will lose.

Interesting to see Kinghorn giving the speech in the pre match huddle.

[Friday Knight Lights]

Disgrace from Jackson!

[Pitfitter446]

Not convinced the ref got that call right with Mata, not been bad other than that so far though, Glasgow playing very quick and so in our face before we get a chance to play.?

[The Feral Goat]

Not able to watch so trying to follow on ER match centre, seem to be getting penalised at scrum a lot what is issue?

Schoeman is getting toasted by Fagerson, which is surprising.

[Friday Knight Lights]

Fair enough decision from the ref, thought it was to be red there.

I've been impressed with the ref, a lot better than Adamson.

Thanks FKL
