Were there a lot of changes at half time / early in the second half? .. score suggested it was close at 40mins.
No, it was close at 40 but we conceded 3 tries in 6 mins with the same players.

Poor result. Still time to get things together, but that's a blowout.

Awful looking scoreline but as I wasn’t there and haven’t seen anything of the game I’ll refrain from passing comment too much. Gustard will certainly know what he’s dealing with after this one!

Well Gustard will need to do some managing of expectations of the supporters between now and 01 Sep as if we start going down by 50 at the Stoop there will be walkouts agsin

I see  Warriors are playing Saints next weekend.  It will be interesting to see how that game pans out.  Probably give a better idea on how prepared Quins are currently.

How will it?

I made the mistake of checking the one named after the match rather than the one concerning whether it's on tv.  Easy mistake to make...

I very much doubt it. I walked before and it was because I felt club were letting us down.

Can’t blame club or Gustard if team fail like that (and it would have to be repeatedly) when he’s only just arrived.

Agreed. No point getting over exorcised before the season hasn’t properly started. I’m not expecting miracles this season.

Relegation fodder at this point in time, it has to be said — with only a match against (in fairness to them) lower-standard opposition to come, even if we win that one we won't see a true benchmark for where we're at until the first match of the season proper.

Help me out - how have you reached the conclusion we’re relegation fodder from a couple of pre season matches?

Not a great performance. Inconsistent much of the time. Too many dropped balls, a few wrong options and in the second half too many missed tackles. Ref was poor and we were rubbish at playing him. Glasgow really knew what he would and wouldn't do and played it right. They were also a bit more hungry when the ball went loose. Glasgow won nearly all the 50/50 balls. Apart from Wallace nobody was urgent enough. Lots of frustration and instead of galvanising, it led to mistakes. Marcus had a decent game, as did Wallace, Care sporadically, Visser and Walker did OK when they came on but didn't get enough ball in space. South tried hard but he's not bulky enough. Bothma had flashes but dropped too many balls. Glasgow were offside most of the the time and came up fast but that's no excuse for both poor skills and poor decision making.

Glasgow looked like they had a game plan which was to lie as off side as the could and disrupt our ball in defence and fly into the breakdown from everywhere in attack and then move the ball at pace. We didn't cope with their tactics or the ref's interpretation of the laws. A bit of work needed.

Otherwise a great afternoon. The Warriors fans are a good bunch, passionate and knowledgeable about their rugby as well as good hosts. Perth is a beautiful small city and good for beer. At the end of the day that's been the best part of today.

Good point at the end of the Twitter video. Shouldn't think gustard has ever suffered a result like that. Will be interesting to see how he reacts.

Well l hope he went back into that “very disappointed dressing room” and let them know that he’s never been beaten like that before as a coach and he doesn’t expect to again. No more mr nice guy. Those days have gone and the players need to know it.

I love how people write on here ...

“Those days have gone”

Yep, those long lost days starting 6 weeks ago are over
