Lewies replacing Hammond at 5 moving from the back row, with Hammond benched.

For me, Lewies plays lock or not at all. Not quick enough to the breakdown at thr top level and I'd rather see Lawday or Trenholm at blindside (or CCS or Chis if fit).

Ryan Wilson seems like the kind of guy who'd really ruin a night out. Obnoxious bloke. I'll take Ugo's long term torture of the English language any day, thanks TNT

Hammond is the better player, but he’s always going to lose out to Stephan in a straight shoot out probably just by his position as club captain. I’d drop Steohan altogether but can’t see it happening

So drop Herbst instead?

Unless Dino is expected back anytime soon, then its Launchbury with either Hammond or Lewies.

Don't think its been mentioned so far, but I thought our maul defence improved markedly once Launchbury came on. On the whole, we did a pretty good job of spoiling their driving maul game given its such a weapon (commentators were saying Glasgow have the most driving maul tries of any team this season across the Prem, URC or Top14).

Are we the only league that plays their captain just because he is captain even though he might might not be the best option

Quite often the only country too.

Was he the twonk interviewed pitch side with Ugo?

What a boring show off Wilson was.  Not seen him as a commentator before - and hopefully won’t again.

Was he the twonk interviewed pitch side with Ugo?

Yeah. Made a real nasty rep for himself as a player and it doesn't take long to realise why.
