Poor second half but OUTSTANDING last play.

Chamberlain the matchwinner but Sau excellent as well.

Was having a panic when I thought they were looking at block before Nathan charged over.

Thought we had balls that up with our negativity. Not sure we deserve it but happy to take the win.

Great finish from Chamberlain.

Fantastic for the laddie and I hope his performance overall shows the coaching team what they've left siting on the bench as an unused sub week after week after week.

Okay I'll just wait patiently for Shiel to do his job and control a game without making numerous stupid decisions.

I like Shiel, he has potential. But at some point he actually needs to take his chance.


I think you are both sort of right, Dobie might well be a one off, like Richie signed from school and destined not just to play for Scotland but to captain them

But Dobie is not asked to take on full game management for the weegies. Thomson is also a rookie but Glasgow have played a lot through him. Here it looks like Chamberlain only gets the ball by happenstance, pressure is all on 9

Ross Thompson man of the match last night. Nathan be like "Hold my beer!"
Bill Mata. The second coming?

Kunavula was carrying very hard and skittling players for fun, he needs more of a run.

Our game revolves around the box kick so 9 always likely to control, tonight perhaps shows that giving the 10 the control may be more productive would possibly take pressure off sheil and allow him to play his more natural game rather than the slow slow box kick slow....not going to happen though.

True but Dobie grabs every bit of gametime with both hands. Another wasted start for Shiel as he made poor decisions. He has potential but lots of people do. You need to grab your chances.

Exhibit a Nathan Chamberlain. Anyone think he's going to be left on the bench forevermore now? No chance!

The nine is set up to fail here, as you say the game runs from there and it demands that the pace is slowed to glacial, or at least that is how Edinburgh are playing it.

I don't think any of the three nines have been good this season, but only one offers a future.

Move Charlie along the road and he'll be a star, I'd bet my last quid on it.

I think he would do better at Glasgow than here absolutely. If Price is off next year and Shiel is still stuck then maybe he will too.

I know players in both squads who have played with Charlie. This is pretty much what they say.
