That was a dreadful game until the last 15 minutes when the subs came on and injected some pace and pressure. Leinster were just as bad as us.

Another shocker from the ref, but at least we won. Glasgow were poor first half-too many errors & penalties. Came onto a game second period and deserved the win, if only for outscoring Leinster by 3 tries to 1. Stortoni looks a great find at full back-the guy is irrepressible. Sorry to see Gregor struggle again-he has had good games for Glasgow last season but for some reason has struggled this session-he has missed more kicks this term than ever before. We also need a ball carrier at number 8, I'm afraid Beattie just ain't got it at the moment. Thought the subs made a great impact-Thomson made a difference to the stability of the scrum & O'Hare scored,as he often does (the Evans brothers are good,but they don't score enough tries-Hefin scores just about every game). I have always rated Barrow-he has an excellent rugby brain & he injected some pace and directness when he came on for Gregor. Barclay made an enormous difference to Glasgow from last week & GIbson put in a good shift at centre. Not by any means a great performance, but the team spirit saw them through-many Glasgow teams in the past would not have won that game.

Thought Stortoni had a mixed game. Some nice running and brilliance under the high ball must be set beside weakness going into contact and almost messing up Hefin's try with a crazy decision to cut back inside when the simple pass would have been enough.

Another good game and I may be willing to concede we've got a good-un.

Don't agree at all - he looks very strong in contact. In fact, if he continues to perform as he is he'll prove to be the steal of the season.

I had some friends at their first rugby game and they were impressed...but only for the last 15 minutes or so....I rate Gregor highly but he is not on form at the moment and we need to have Dan back. Thought the back three were good....it was thom's first game after a injury so he made a decent enough comeback! Was good to see Fergus and John back and hopefully the rest will be back for the Munster game along with all the other guys from World Cup teams!

Heard some/alot of critisim going the way of Sam Pinder. Was just wondering, after all the hype surrounding the signing of O'Young, why he hasn't been given his chance

On Stortoni, the lad is a great ball carrier and has proven very compitent under pressure, especially with the high ball. However, I do think that recently a few scorign opprtrunities have gone begging as he's not much of a passer. He's great at the individual line breaks and making plays, but hasn't shown that he can include and put someone in space to make a play.
On Pinder. He's had a few errors of late and his service to the first reciever hasn't been the best. I say, give O Young a shot, get a real battle going on for the #9 jersey, and we'll see them both raise their games.
I think the midfield has also been very good on defence with G-Dog and Gibbo. It'd be good to see them linking up more when one or the other breaks the line, as they're both powerful in the broken play.

Don't know about how much competition there can be at No.9, if O'Young proves to be an even half way competant Scrumhalf Pinder wont be in his class...
