@GlasgowRugby_ Glagsow have won 1 trophy in 10 years and 2 in the pro er so dont get carried away with that being a metric.
They have a budget bankrolled by SRU who have a responsibility to play Scottish players
And you mean SA players Iike Steyn and McBeth who Glasgow benefit from the SRU cash

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@GlasgowRugby_ It shouldn't be on Glasgow to develop players in their Academy, that's a wild take.
The SRU pays bills, Glasgow dont make anything like enough to pay their own way. Because of that its absolutely one of Glasgows primary objectives to develop Scottish players.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@GlasgowRugby_ All Venter does is hold back the development of Duncan Ferrie and Fraser by limiting their game time. You already have one nonSQ back row. Same with Seb id rather Watson got a run for those few games he might have been needed for.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@Richie_Allen When the pressure is on Scottish players wilt, mentally just not strong enough.
You can't have your captain coming out and saying the opposition wanted to win the Semi Final more. Thats embarrassing

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@Broonjunior @Richie_Allen @RugbySco How much depth do they need or can afford. They have internationals or test match quality players at 1 and 2 in pretty much every position. Very few teams have that level of squad

@SlotIsABadGoth @thepaulwilliams They won it in 2024 when nobody expected them to, with amazing back to back away wins. It was brilliant
Key wording was pressure of expectations, that's back to back season of disappointing results when it comes crunch games.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@SlotIsABadGoth @thepaulwilliams Glasgow have same issue as Scotland can't deal with the power game and aren't mentally strong enough when the pressure of expectations is on.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@AndyBurke_ @colingregor @Johnnie_Beattie How many times are we going to see Scottish teams losing big pressure games.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@weejockmcplop @mangorugby The only think pathetic in the second half was Glasgow. Brace was fine for both teams

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@GlasgowWarriors A Scottish team bottle a big game under pressure of expectations again. We see this again and again.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@mangorugby If they wanted to attract non Glasgow fans they should have adjusted kids kids ticket prices. £50 for an adult and u12 for a non Glasgow fan is a tough sell.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@mangorugby Seems a bizzare signing, couldn't get a game in a poor Edinburgh team this year. Is he better than some of the young guns in the academy or is this just reaction to his brother's injury and needing more deoth.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@mangorugby @Big_D_sport @CharlieFelix @Ed6954717196731 @RugbyPigHibs He's likely to get way more actual game time at Red Bulls with frequent academy fixtures, could end up on loan at a Nat 1 or Nat 2.
RB have always built from within and they haven't signed a top 10 so he may push his way up quicker than expected
None of that happens at Edinburgh

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@GlasWarriorfan @GlasgowWarriors How's it a waste of time? He's rebuilding pathways which takes time see benefits.

[daybyday @existdaybyday]

@mangorugby They are taking a punt of potential

@JT0627785771254 @RugbyInsideLine Na Fagersons tackle and ruck stats dwarf Bayliss numbers and that's what Scotland needs way more than Bayliss rangy running.
