Phew that Lions v Glasgow game is gonna be lekker!


Glasgow's pack got a little bit seen to by Toulon and they'd have been aching this week. Meanwhile the Lions have had a nice break and their pack has been in good form.


Seriously hoping that Francke and Venter turn it on again because Rassie is for sure watching both of them. Mahashe has also been a revelation. That back three is turning into a nightmare for opposition to deal with.

Plum


Glasgow (log position1) has to play the Lions (log position 5) today and the Stormers (log position 2) next week. The Lions will do themselves and the Stormers a huge favor by beating Glasgow'


The Lions has a vgreat chance on h avi ng a home quartgerfinbal if they can get to number 4 on the log,


I hope they win - but am not going to put money on it, Franco Smi.th is by some distance the best coach in the URC - if he was coaching anym S A eam t heym woiuld be num ber 1 on the log. Thbe Lions copach comes in second when is comes to coaching - the resf of the SA Franchise coaches are shit supreme.
