Seen Ian Madigan wandering around the city centre this afternoon.

Anyone got a link to this, please?

anyone got a decent link ?

Fairly well matched game so far

Hmm thought Seymour was in touch

Nope he wasnt

7-0 to Glasgow

Try for ickle Johnny

2nd try scored by ickle Gray!

Glasgow looking good. Going forward both with the ball and when in defence!

12-0

Glasgow looking really good. Going forward both with the ball and when in defence!

Second try for Glasgow. Gopperth hasn't learned to pass/ be anything other than highly predictable over the break. Ah well

Who wants a bet Ireland won't get one win this weekend - player protection program doesn't do them a lot of favours really

Have we given up on feeding straight again

Don't think the player protection program is making a difference here- we have buckets of experience on the field.

Straussssss

Strausssssssssssssssss!

19-0

Disappointing to concede from the restart. Still 3/4 of the way towards a bonus point

Guys, I'm stick in a bar in Newcastle, and all their showing at the moment is London Irish v Quins.

No know the score, but what the hell is happening?

Glasgow are looking very hot, Leinster look asleep and there is a strong wind, currently favouring Glasgow.

Leinster lucky not to pick up a yellow

Attempted trip by Boss

The wind is weird the flags in the stand aren't really moving but the kicks are holding up

only one side in it at the moment - 19-3 totally fair reflection

Leinster are finally being found out. Good to see

I know it's only the first weekend etc but I did have a feeling the Weegies would be a huge force this season and I am running off to place a large wad of cash on them winning silverware.

Leinster looking a little shell-shocked and unarmed, time for them to awaken methinks or it'll be a cricket score.

On the previous comment about the Irish player protection system, it's the first weekend so do wise up man, it's s long season, maybe even as long as Cardiff's was last year

Leinster finally being found out? Have you not seen our record for first league matches?

Good to see Glasgow have continued on from last season.

perhaps- plenty to improve on for sure for all the Irish sides at the moment - can't get a stream on Connacht anyone know
how their doing

Just tuning in now, Leinster having their annual first game no-show then? Some things never change

Steve - they're drawing 8-8 (weird scoreline) with the Dragons - second half just started.

Thanks George- at the moment I'd say their Irelands only hope this weekend - long season ahead though

Fraser Brown is having a great game

Completely urined off that I cannot find a functioning stream but I'm pleased with the score.

Can anyone tell me:
1. Why Noel Reid had to come off after 2 minutes?
2. Whether Henry is just having a shocker with the boot or whether the wind is just unplayable?

This is different to the rest of our fist up games, we have big names on the pitch here. Gopperth is simply sub par, and clueless as usual. Our downward spiral under MOC continues to show no signs of change

George.

Looked like an ankle injury.
He is kicking OK. Probably wind

Sorry guys you can't post links on here - please use PM

fair enough- my apologies

16-8 Connacht now

Is Dunbar injured? Hogg to 10 and Horne to 12 I would think?

Please dont be like last year where we couldn't get a bonus point for the life of us

Full Time Connacht 16 Dragons 11

Stupid Niko.

This is a twist...

Holy moly you never can write off the ladyboys

who saw that coming

Okay I've been away for most of this half. What the actual Frak has happened?

Get in 

Oh Glasgow...
