Right, not to put too fine a point on it

Mon tae fuck Scotland

Final Score 33-29 to Glasgow

Lots of changes in the 2nd half with Luca Bardelli scoring the Glasgow try

Good come back from Zebre , but l suspect like Edinburgh yesterday the changes in the 2nd half were telling ( albeit Glasgow won & Edinburgh lost )

Lots to work on , but lots of positives as well

( The Venison burger at half time was very good)

Off to watch some international game that's also happening tonight

Going well, but Healy has missed two kicks to touch and dropped two balls.

Healy is having a bit of a mare, he just needs to take a deep breath and start again

Good work from Harris

That is dreadful, really poor

To use football parlance, 3 absolute sitters missed already. Don’t like seeing Price laughing at us knocking the ball on on the line.

Van der Merwe grinding his teeth over the number of tries Graham is going to get ahead of him in the rankings tonight

When we keep the heid, play it simple and move it through the hands the space opens up

That looks another hit to the head, although it doesn't look deliberate.

"Degree of danger not high"

Graham ahead of Patterson, four behind Hogg.

The Romanians are head hunting tonight. They have probably heard you can't get a red against Scotland

Hook Darcy now

Keep Darcy on

Was just looking this up but you beat me to the punch. He could conceivably get 5 or 6 if he stays on. 5 players have scored 4 in a match for Scotland (including Steyn), only one has scored 5 (and that was in 1887!) and none 6.

Geech desperately trying to defend his position on Graham.

Graham is unplayable when he's like this

Duhan and Graham are out best wingers. I honestly don't think it's that close. They score tries no other in our squad can score.

Was out the room and missed what he said. Is he not a fan? That would be baffling.

But to put it in perspective , it is against a 13 man Romania

Healy composure struggling in first 30, Price scatter gunning and Romanians need a stronger incentive to avoid high shots than being slightly ashamed to apologise

This is barely an opposed training run, shouldn't be needing these yellows to create space, not good they weren't doing so against 15

To be fair it was Barclay as well, they were saying that it could be a horses for courses selection next week and Steyn would probably get the nod.

You get your best team on the park for the big games, it's not difficult.

Looked offside.

offside, Shirley ?

Great to see Cam looking in good nick.

This horses for course chat it nonsense.

I think we got away with one there

Jim Hamilton was saying the same in his podcast last week too (and actually went further saying that the info he’d had from the camp was that Steyn was pushing hard to start against Ireland). Much as I think Steyn is very good, I don’t really get it either. I do wonder if the bad call in the SA game was seen as a bigger black mark than we maybe realised?

Does Bhatti carry a stick of butter.

I rewound it and Redpath timed it perfectly.

It would be foolish if that was the case. Graham and Duhan are lethal finishers who have proven time and again they can create tries from nothing. One missed opportunity to pass shouldn't cloud that.

Jesus. Romania missing almost a tackle a minute

Ooft. Thought Smith had epically blown that

Thought Smith had butchered that, but he recovered.

Nice finish by Smith. Should have passed inside to Gilchrist right enough.

Terrific from Smith

Impressive kicking from Healy. He’s playing well now after a shaky start.
