No body to secure ball and cover and assist the midfield effectively.
Sad to say PoC is a shadow of the player he was playing minimal rugby 70% of the time .
As somebody has said its a good result for Scottish Rugby and if it increases attendances everyone's a winner
Is it too much Buckfast or Guinness?
POC was one of the few Munter's to try and match the Weegie's intensity. The guy was superb as usual.
Their 9-10-12-13 was the weak point.
Well done indeed to Glasgow. Their achievements deserve respect and are the reward for consistency not just this season, but over the past few seasons. to win a final so comprehensively was impressive, especially when some on here have been labelling them as average at best and chokers over the past few weeks.
Played Munster off the pitch. One can point to the absence of Murray and POM plus others, but Glasgow could only pls what was in front of them, and did so comprehensively.

Agreed, however they did better than us in the league this year so where do we stand next year? I fear with the present coaching ticket we will continue in our mediocrity. However in Les Kiss I trust!
Superb couple of seasons of coaching from Gregor. His team totally emasculated Munster and took their game away by running hard and fast.
Their problem now will be maintaining their level and keeping their coach and with a few players moving on, most of whom will be missed, next season will be a whole new challenge. How will they react when they lose 20 players to the world cup?

Townsend shows what a good coach can do with a decent bunch of players. Pat Lam has done fine things at Connacht but the other three Provinces have suffered from mediocre coaching. Better coaching will undoubtedly (and I suppose rather obviously) bring better results. So, come on Les, let's hope you do great things
btw, congratulations to Finn Russell for winning the 'Not a hair out of place' trophy two weeks running.

Indeed Snipe, although i suspect right now that won't be preoccupying them! They've built over a number of years to achieve this, whereas our triumphs have come somewhat out of the blue and been followed by some medicore seasons. The RWc will hit them hard. Otherwise, they seem to be building some impressive depth.
Shame for them to see a player like DTH go to the Scarlets.
There is always one idiot
Snipe
To answer your question 20 players away will be hard though Glasgow used 52 players this year not sure what Others used .
Just glad we played the way toonie has inspired

How many are leaving? Matawalu, Van der Merwe going and Kellock retiring I know about. Kellock will be a massive loss and I'd suggest you don't even know how big yet.
