I haven't really noticed our scrum being massively strengthened starting Walker over Riley. I certainly wouldn't say Riley starting weakens us set piece wise, and he has better darts and does more in the loose in my view.  Jibulu is a beast and is the ideal sub hooker for late game surges

Jibulu has been given first team experience perforce because of injuries to the other hookers, but he is still a baby in front row terms and I suspect like Baxter the club will work on his physical maturity and injury prevention conditioning before letting him fully loose.

Walker is known in the club for offering a lot around the park in both carrying and leadership, which is probably why he is preferred as a starter over Riley. He's also had injuries this season and so may be struggling for consistency - but the club will need him for the run in so giving him gametime is important.

Walker had a good season last time around. He must have had a very strange world cup experience where it was clear that he was 3rd choice, and Jamie George frequently played 80 minutes which kind of implies that the management didn't trust him. It's not a bit shock that he's taken his time to find his feet again.

Walker seems to be one of those players who coaches rate, but fans not so much. Maybe its because he's more of a nuts and bolts player with no flash stuff. Given the competition at hooker, getting into the World Cup squad was. no mean feat.

I've a lot of respect for Walker in that he's as brave as a lion, but for me Riley is the heir apparent. His handling and work in the loose is a level above and per MQ's comments, he doesn't look to be letting us down as set-piece time either. I did think at the start of the season, come the end, Riley would be first choice and reckon that'll be the case.

Reckless and poor start. What the HELL was green thinking? We literally are not a very smart at all

Murley's try disallowed because of separation. But it looked like he'd reconnected before the ball hit the ground?

Great worked Andre try. Always reassuring that some of the best performers of late (Andre/Collier) are the ones off..going to miss them massively

Some, uh, interesting calls in traditional style by a French ref. Particularly enjoyed the guy lying flat on the floor grabbing the ball twice

And now Irne coughs the ball up and puts Glasgow in our 22 as a result from the play.

This bloke is surely a parody of a player

He’s memorised the law book just before kick off, seems determined to use them all tonight. Let’s hope he’s consistent.
