Sheesh, what a time to knock on

Ah now we're phhoked. Jenno off.

Now Ryan! Fill that 7 shirt. Do it! You need this bad.

 

Nice to see our injury curse is still around.

1st blood Warriors. They deserved that. They are starting to remind me of us 4 or 5 years ago. This side is on the move. Really.

Needs some silver soon, to feed the dream, or it will get harder year on year.

Would have loved a few of those penalties to go over. But great to go in ahead at half time. Massive second half needed though

Yerman couldnt kick snow off a rope. TF.

Shoite 1st half lads. To be honest.

" ready to pack off to the English Pwemier Weague, to look like the find of the season in that mire. Usual stuff. See Morris at Tigers"

Gibson, young Morris needed a year of studying Hamilton and Murphy first hand before he was ready to start threatening the first team. Murphy has put some serious work in with him over the summer and he looks even better than last season. I have it on pretty concrete information that he turned down a Leinster offer last season to sign a new two year deal with Tigers.

We gave your pack the foundation for your recent success with Leo and Jenno and have now given you an experienced head coach as you look for squad evolution. Speaking of ex Tigers how is Tuqiri getting on?

Not been the best, mixture of poor handling, ref being a complete wally and the scrum being poor hasni produced the best display!

All true.

A club and a creed to emulate. We have learned so much from ye. Munster & Toulouse too.

Will that do mo chara?  Respect.  

Loving MOC at the minute. He likes to play rugby. The coach must fit our creed. Not the other way round. Its the Leinster / Leicester Way.

We need Healy and Reddan on to change this game.

Looks like Hogg's got a sore one

Duncan Weir's commentary is something else!

Oooft, off the corss bar / post from the  
If we beat Leinster despite spurning 12 points at goal that'll be impressive...

Warriors soo quick to the ball there. Other level.

9 pts missed lads?

Mon Leinster! Get outta Dodge FFS!

Only one team in it and it isn't us.

Whew. Tank Allah for Irish refs.

Clever exit strategy there from Leinster.
Also it think Glasgow should start taking drop goals when they're down in the Leinster 22. Don't make the mistake that Ulster did last week.

Need Reddan on. Phhokin now! Get Madigan and Macken going.

Ohhhhh, so close yet again

OK lads, reel em in and then strike.

Think we're missing the ruck inspector a bit, lineouts have been sloppy all night

Haha, like it Gibbo. Wouldn't mind us catching you boys up on three HEC wins, been a long old while since we got our hands on that piece of silverware, hell of a group to get out of though.

I thought MOC would probably suit Leinster, our attacking phase play improved after he joined and that sort of quick multi phase attacking play is so very Leinster and you have the players to execute that more than we have had.

We are hanging on by the feicin seats of our arses now.

Not much of a game, but Warriors are playing with us here. Should be game over all ready tbh.

Its happened us so many times, but they have to deal with that and believe they can finish the job in adversity. Huge step to take.

We learned that v Quins in 2009. It all changed then. Silverware flowed in after that. Ye must beat us to get on to the next level.

Really.

I'd have gone for another scrum

Ohh phokk. Strauss off and Dundon on. This could be crucial.

Need a Leader out there. Mon Kearney, get them goin!

And I'm proved right. That's what 12 or 15 points gone a begging from missed kicks. Unacceptable against a team like Leinster  

Cannot believe the misses at goal so far, is that 5 penalties missed now???  

Man. 15 pts thrown way now? Id be phhokin livid if I were a Weedgie.

But Im not.

Mon Leinster ta phhhok!

We Are Leinster!

Glasgow have been allover Leinster - got to win this game!

Next ten mins could be season-changing for Warriors. Wont mean owt for us either way. We have 14 players to come back. Not being smert. Just honest.

That's the second time Strauss has been high tackled and the ref has ignored it????

Lead them Rob! Lead them man.

Brave move by Warriors.

Hope we benefit.

THANK (*&^ for that!  

Which 14 are those gibbo...the geriatric and heaslip hows my hair. That other geriatric from aus looks a great buy. I always thought the health system in aus was better

Yessss. Come on Glasgow close it out

Thats game. Fully deserved. And. They did it the hard way. Best route.

Welcome to the Top Table Warriors, swines dat ye are!

'Mon Leinster.... 2 mins for a converted try.. u can dooooooooooooo it... u can, c'mon

 Genius.  

OK 1 min.. c'mon

We are going to score a try here. Phhok it all up.

Duck sake. If we lose this I'll cry. We should be 26+ on the scoreboard

Feckin lineout,,, gees

 

Well played G's

Fantastic win Glasgow, but Leinster shouldn't have been anywhere near a lbp from that game and I can't help but think it's going to make a difference at the end of the season.

Thought johnny gray was phenomenal - that was a Richie-like performance, which is a real compliment. Can you imagine them playing together?!

That started to look like Glasgow from last year! lots of half breaks with great support by the forwards meaning quick ball and constant pressure, good last 30!

Treviso, Dragons, Zebre, Glasgow.. wtf ... great stuff  

 Rabo

Man. Ye guys are different level again this season. Ye have boys to come back.  We have so many to come back, but this Glasgow side is on the march.

Glad we are nowhere near ye in the Heino. Nightmare.

Congrats Seorse, Jim-Bob, Ironbru, 21st Century Schits, et al,  an ting.

You boys shagged us Ladyboys rightly vanavond. All over the park. Oh ja.

              

Believe.
