14 out of the 15 Glasgow team are capped by Scotland - incredible.

by **BigGee** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:00 pm

14 out of 15 Glasgow players have been capped by Scotland, the only one not is Strauss and that is only a question of time!

That is actually a very impressive stat!

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:07 pm

Missed tackle from Harley - had to happen sometime!

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:11 pm

Very soft 3 points

by Argybargy Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:13 pm

Toulouse ....eh..."very quick up in defence"...

by VinceWLB Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:16 pm

No yellow for that? come on this is getting beyond a joke

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:18 pm

Really needed that 3 points : momentum was with Glasgow

by Argybargy Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:22 pm

Harley. Immense.

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:22 pm

Swinson has had a good game so far - real nuisance

by VinceWLB Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:23 pm

Toulouse reffed on reputation once again i see

by maestegmafia Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:25 pm

Wayne Barnes is making some poor calls and has the crowd against him already

by takethelongroad Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:25 pm

A symbolic day for rest of the season today, does anyone have a link? Stranded in Norfolk...

by Imperialbigdave Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:28 pm

Theres been a couple of strange calls from barnes, but not as bad as the crowd are making out. Do they make any noise other than booing?

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:31 pm

Definitely attracted a few football fans in - they even booed the announcer asking them not to boo!

by Argybargy Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:35 pm

McArthur ...the new "old" Ross Ford?

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:36 pm

Been a bit of a non-event this half, although Glasgow haven't been great

by Argybargy Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:38 pm

Dont see a BP coming from this game somehow.

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:39 pm

When is the last time Hogg actually got one of those kicks for club or country?

Really shouldn't waste the territory for him to kick just now.

by VinceWLB Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:48 pm

I would change MacArthur and Pyrgos at half time, they have been very poor.

I also don't see what Swinson adds over Nakarawa.

Maitland the only one looking half dangerous for Glasgow.

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:48 pm

Blunt stuff from Glasgow - Toulouse won't be overly concerned!

by takethelongroad Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:50 pm

Not to worry, found one. Very hard to play in oppo 22 when the defending teams indiscretions at the breakdown are ignored. When will this end? Be nice to have the protection that others get sometime soon...

by **BigGee** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:51 pm

This one on a knife edge, neither side looked like scoring so far. It has been atrocious though and hopefully that will allow things to open up a bit in the second half. Who is going to have the biggest impact from the bench, 20-25 mins to go we need to get the Fijians on. One moment of magic could win this game!

by **BigGee** Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:54 pm

The commentators are right, lets see the old Glasgow. The pressure does seem to have neutered them a bit at the moment. Still we are still very much in the game, it can be sorted out at half time.

by VinceWLB Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:54 pm

Glasgow looks very hesitant with the ball...

This is a carbon copy of the game in Toulouse and i can see the similarities with the 2 games against the Blues last season, pretty poor stuff from Glasgow.

by TJ Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:57 pm

Time for the full McMatowalo?

by **BigGee** Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:00 pm

We will see them sooner rather than later!

by VinceWLB Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:00 pm

Certainly, also i would be quick to change Grant and MacArthur.

Glasgow needs a big, big second half.

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:06 pm

Yikes. Need to be nailing those kicks Finn

by VinceWLB Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:07 pm

Terrible stuff

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:08 pm

Arse of a call from Barnes there. Tolouse clearly pushing early

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:09 pm

These kicks are certainly costing Glasgow

by Imperialbigdave Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:10 pm

Harley you are not Mccaw. You cant do that.

by **RDW** Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:12 pm

Glasgow really making a mess of this - Toulouse haven't done much yet 6 points ahead!

by Imperialbigdave Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:12 pm

Seymour wtf!?!

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:20 pm

You know that feeling when you can see a game slipping away...

by VinceWLB Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:20 pm

This is pathetic, feel a bit let down by that "performance"

by reallybored Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:27 pm

This has been poor, far too many mistakes to put any pressure on Toulouse.

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:30 pm

Big kick for Weir

by doctor_grey Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:30 pm

Not over yet. Opportunity to get after Toulouse now.

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:38 pm

big, big call here

by doctor_grey Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:40 pm

don't understand why Glasgow are kicking the penalty. Go for the jugular.....

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:40 pm

Guess it takes the pressure off having to get a conversion. Tis a gamble though

by Totalflanker Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:46 pm

Terrible decision to go for the kick, before the kick we needed a try, after the successful kick we still need a try for the win......

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:48 pm

you just know there's a knock on coming

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:49 pm

what a cluster Frak

by **profitius** Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:49 pm

To go for the 3 points was one of the most idiotic decisions I've seen in a while.

by Imperialbigdave Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:50 pm

Totally headless at the end. To go from the opposition 22 to over your own dead ball line in a handful of phases...

by GLove39 Sat Dec 13, 2014 2:51 pm

Almost thought Medard was going to dot down and deny us anything

This.

Nakarawa and Matawalu probably came on 15 mins too late too.

Agree. Shame. I think Toulouse was there for the taking. Just a few too many mistakes.
