Utterly daft by Schoeman.

Cheapshot, should be red.

Holy keeping the game interesting.

You have to think that's part of it aye.

Hopefully Glasgow destroy Edinburgh, could spark some change.

[Big D]

No desire in defence at all from Edinburgh.

Crosbie and Bradbury grabbing shirts rather than making hits. School boy stuff.

No clear direction in attack either.

[Blackmac]

Jones on fire at the moment.

[Slick]

Quite apart from the offload, Huw Jones spotted that gap as he was jogging back into position and called it to Jordan. Absolutely world class rugby player

Bit of that but also that every step Glasgow take is with intent and aggression

[SomersetJock]

Schoeman doesn’t strike me as a stupid player, but that was utterly brainless. He’s a lucky boy !

Those should be prerequisites for any team really. Watch Bradbury for the second try. Wasn't far off avoiding making any sort of tackle rather than having any sort of aggression about his play.

Look at that last play there. Decent hit up by Tuipulotu. Then they slow the ball down to box kick it. They are such a poorly coached team.

[Tichtheid]

They are such a poorly coached team.

I see the lack of discipline as a symptom of that too

[Big D]

Especially offsides etc. Players looking for short cuts.

Gets a little over-shadowed by Tuipulotu by pundits, but when I talk to non-Jocks he's the one they talk about.

[Big D]

Edinburgh should start playing their academy 9s.

[Big D]

I can't remember as poor a 40min from a teams half backs as this. What was Thompson doing there?

[Big D]

Very comfortable fro Glasgow without really having to step it up too much.

[Slick]

One thing that really noticeable with a female voice is the amount of questioning a ref gets, it ridiculous

[Big D]

Accurate finishing but yet more terrifically poor defending.

[Big D]

Everitt is supposed to be an attack minded coach.

[Blackmac]

Duhan thinks "fuck this"

[Blackmac]

Not sure I understand that call. If an attacking player is juggling a catch but the ball is then deliberately knocked away by a defender, where is the knock on.

[Slick]

As soon as it touches another player or the floor it’s a knock on

[Blackmac]

Ritchie looks a broken man. That's the worry about some of our top players performing in this current Edinburgh situation.

[KingBlairhorn]

This game is so uncompetitive it’s kind of dull.

[Blackmac]

Yes, but even in the case where the opposing player knocks it away??. Not something i've ever though about but just curious as it looked as if he could gather that if Steyn had not deliberately knocked it away.

[Big D]

It is time for all the coaches to go.

Not one single part of Edinburghs play merits retention.

I think if the fumble was backwards then it would be an issue, but he pushed it forward whilst juggling

[Slick]

Yet he looked almost back to his best for Scotland

[Tichtheid]

He's been Edinburgh's best player today, though it's a very low bar

[Tichtheid]

The difference in pace, structure and just pure appetite for attack is depressing from an Edinburgh point of view.

[Big D]

Ritchie looks a broken man. That's the worry about some of our top players performing in this current Edinburgh situation.

Aye.

Feel sorry for the centres and back 3 a little. The play, control and direction from 9 and 10 has been shambolic.

[Blackmac]

Agreed, but there has been a few looks of utter despair at the dross going on around him.

[Big D]

Glasgow have been good without having to be anything more.

A routine and easy win.

[Big D]

Bradbury and Sebastien simply didn't want to make a tackle there.

[Tichtheid]

There's too many good players in that Edinburgh team playing awful, dull, unimaginative, lazy rugby - same old same old, but this squad is the best we've had for years

[Slick]

Are they good though? Or good enough. The players we know are good, Ritchie and Darcy, have been their best players today and have kept going

Yes they are because they all play well in a different environment - for Scotland

Venter is better than Schoeman

[TheNatalShark]

Feels a little of a waste to watch, an attackers training run for Glasgow

[TheNatalShark]

Graphics putting Kiwi flag on for Tom Jordan, wonder who is doing them

[Simian]

Ooft. Final score flattered Edinburgh .

[clydecloggie]

Venter with two straight up 5m taps; should never be tries. but Glasgow could afford to switch off in the final quarter.

Those two line-ups should never end up with that score - it says a lot about what Glasgow are doing right and Edinburgh doing wrong.

Bradbury should be nowhere near Edinburgh. Not in the Scotland picture, not that good for Edinburgh in his last spell. But was doing well at Bristol because he had to apply himself. A shame really.
