biffer Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Aye good luck Glasgow. Big game tonight though, Edinburgh v Bordeaux at Murrayfield. A win for Edinburgh puts them in the quarter finals of the challenge cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Can see something ridiculous happening like a draw, but not a BP draw, so Lyon(?) go through! Nah - 'mon Enbra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Great performance last night, dominated thrm. Now we wait on other results to find out who we play in the qf and where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Tough for Glasgow today with so many injuries. Down in bath for the weekend - Andy nichol sat behind me on the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down in bath for the weekend - Andy nichol sat behind me on the plane.I can recommend Lambrettas for a pre match pint.My Brother used to work there. Might try and pop in myself if I can hussle the lad through rugby training and onto the train in time. That said, the in ground drinking and pre match entertainment is pretty good these days. There is also some Burns night / Scottish themed entertainment. http://m.bathrugby.com/news/club-news/at-the-rec-this-weekend-glasgow/ J Edited January 24, 2015 by Bristolhibby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 After the Edinburgh game last night they fed the players haggis. Steve Lawrie did a terrific reading of burns to a pack presidents suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMcoolJ Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Gutted for Glasgow. Yet more incompetent refereeing costing them progression in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calimero Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Gutted for Glasgow too. Not sure if the ref contributed to the final Bath penalty though. Gives us a bit of optimism as a nation going into the 6 nations and world cup. The confidence in both the Glasgow and Edinburgh players will have been bolstered by their respective European campaigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 We had a great time. Great result, hope we can get a decent crowd for the semifinal on the 17th. I can't make it as I'm in the states with work, which I'm pissed off about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Fair enough. Would be class to do it through the league. Yeah. Need 6th to do it automatically, 7th gets us into a playoff for the last available spot. Currently Connacht in 6th on 44 points, Scarlets 7th on 44, Edinburgh 8th on 43. 3 games left Connacht have Glasgow at home, Zebre away, Ospreys at home Scarlets have Dragons at away, Cardiff at home, Treviso away Edinburgh have Zebre at home, Dragons away, Leinster at home Scarlets have the easiest run in, particularly as I'd be prepared to bet that Cardiff and the Dragons will roll over for them. But Edinburgh can win all three of those games, and Edinburgh hold the advantage in terms of tiebreakers against the Scarlets (number of matches won is the first tiebreaker).

Did not know that re: the tiebreaker. Who is the play off with? 8th, or an opponent from England? Seem to remember Edinburgh losing to Treviso or someone earlier in the year. Hope that doesn't come back to bite them - there have been some brilliant efforts earlier this year at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Anyway, they appear in better shape now - a European campaign may loosen the purse strings. That Fijian from waratahs being one. He is massive.

The playoff is vs the seventh place team in England, and the winner of that plays seventh place in France. There are a number of results that grate. Losing at home to Connacht, drawing at home with Scarlets, losing away to Zebre. But it's in our hands, so here's hoping. The big Fijian isn't confirmed yet, so I'm not sure if he'll be here or not. He looks pretty dangerous though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Unlucky Edinburgh. Kept in it and fought back in the second half. Some great handling in the last 10 minutes but sadly not enough. Looking for Bath to duff up Gloucester on the final game of the season at the Rec to secure 2nd. J Edited May 1, 2015 by Bristolhibby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
