Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Warriors Team for the Lions I suspect we may see a similar theme to the Bulls game, with quite a few of the front five 5 being asked to empty the tank for 30 /35 minutes before bringing on the Warriors equivalent of the 'bomb' squad That is one good looking bench. Kyle Rowe favoured instead of Seba ...

Everyone remembers the anniversary of Senna's death... very few acknowledge the first death that fateful weekend, Roland Ratzenberger also lost his life at the circuit, in qualifying. Apart from Senna himself who had the Austrian Flag in his car - waiting to be unfurled , had he finished the race

30 years ago one of the greatest drivers ( up there with Jim Clark IMHO ) lost his life at Imola.

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Glasgow Team up for Zebre Strong backline - but the pack is very much not the first team - but a good few of the pack could do with a rest. Great to see Grant Stewart back and straight onto the bench - and that's a pretty strong bench to bring on. Glasgow really need a 5 pointer here Stafford starti...

Glasgow Team for Sharks up As strong as we can put out - Darge / Mckay on the Injury list, which is a shame - Rowe at Fullback is a fine option though RT10 preferred over Meatball on the bench.
