And quite often you'll see intricate passing down the short side and we'll get to the winger and suddenly it opens up and they'll make 15, 20 meters and then they're back into their game.

But this year, more than ever, Nigel Carlin, previously of Connacht, largely runs their attack.

He's done a cracking job and it's not just short side attack, it's double sided attack is how they set up.

So it's the ability of, if you go to width, the ability of those attacking players in those wide channels getting up and reloading

And then when the play comes back maybe to the middle of the field or 20 meters from the touchline, you've got options both sides of the ball.

And if a team is doing that consistently throughout a game, as a defender, you just feel like you are always under pressure and you feel like you're always chasing the opposition as opposed to getting front on opportunities to make big tackles.

You feel like the opposition are always running away from you.

You can't get purchase in the contact zone.

And as a result, Glasgow are getting quick rook ball, playing on the front foot.

And when they get that, they also have a really effective kicking game.

They play the corners really well.

And they've adapted as well as any other side early.

You think of the likes of Kyle Steyn, who was probably the form winger in the Six Nations.

He is a quality, quality guy.

both early but also how he works his way in off the wing and they are genuine contenders um but look they're they're scottish so like they might trip up you've been so effusive and full of praise i will keep doing it until until i get the egg on my face so yeah well like look your your england predictions in the six nations look like i look we won't we'll say no more about that but i nearly saved me in the end

Yeah, I think, well, first off, Sale without the Curry brothers are nothing as good as they are with them.

They'll have been disappointed to have had Bath on the ropes at home last week and not got over the line, albeit in kind of tricky conditions.

some of the Quinns performances earlier in the season were dire

Yeah.

Like that one in particular, like it was, you know, one of these fixtures where they take them to, not to the stoop, to Twickenham and, you know, the big game or whatever they call it.
