Glasgow at Home, Sunday the 28th, 5.30pm

[wixfjord]

Having Rhys would be a huge boost.

Better him playing this than being a 24th man in Rome.

You'd think so, and I'd agree - but I don't think AF will.

[mildlyinterested]

Will Glasgow now be stronger given Scotland game postponed?

[Blue not red blood]

Cant see it at this short notice.

[wixfjord]

Ulster have put out a belter of a side for their game tomorrow.
Could be a tough task to turn them over in Ravers.

Which makes this an absolutely crucial game!

[mildlyinterested]

that ulster game next week is the biggest game of their season.

[Jonny tight lips]

probably unlikely but I wonder if Ruddock might be released?

Him and VDF can’t both the the 24th man so we should get one back.

Good point.

The question is will Leocaster consider them for selection having being away all week

[Ruckedtobits]

Very unlikely as Leo has never dumped a player who has preped for a game ,except because of injury. That's one of his strong points for the overall Squad loyalty.

Particularly since he hasn’t seen them in a bit, Conan would of slotted back in easier. If Fardy isint back you would imagine at least the bench for VDF or Rhys

[wixfjord]

If the option is Rhys/VDF or Soroka/another academy player you'd have to start the senior player every day of the week.

Penny at 8 ... didn’t see that coming.

[wixfjord]

Great first 15, bench is very callow though!

Greg McGrath covering loosehead now?

Considering our entire first choice backline is starting for Ireland this weekend that’s a brilliant team to be able to put out. TOB, COB and AB out injured too

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Bent being back should help Penny at the back of the scrum and he's good at the back of a maul so that might bode well. He's very strong when he gets wrapped up so if he does get into trouble I'd say he'll be good at just holding onto the ball until supports gets around him. No doubt we look like we're lacking a ball carrier around the park though.

Hopefully with so many ballers in the backs we can keep the ball alive and change the point of contact so that the lack of an 8 doesn't matter so much. That front five should really give a good platform for it.
