Well done Lions, but...

Glasgow were playing against fourteen for over half the game and 13 for ten minutes and they were the ones who looked exhausted and clueless. I don't think I've seen them play worse than that.

Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread

That extra point would have put them 6 ahead of both Lions and Benetton. It could have meant going into the final game week mathematically assured of the playoffs. It was stupid. That assumes it would have stayed at the same score if Healy had converted the penalty. I back the team to go for the wi...
