Yes he was our youngest captain but he was actually only 20 - he had two games as Captain in October 2011 and turned 21 in the November.

I wonder what sort of state Te'o is in after that. He might just decide to stay in Scotland permanently rather than face the return trip.

We might have a strong team on paper but games aren't won on paper. We've been appallingly rubbish all season- last week v Treviso looked like a team that had never met eachother before! 1-8 simply haven't been good enough to give the backs any ball. Given we're on our 5th choice hooker (with the guy that's been here maybe 3 weeks as the "experience" on the bench) I don't see that improving anytime soon.

Weather-wise it is truly horrendous-> forecast I believe is for basically constant torrential rain and high winds all weekend. For anyone travelling I'd recommend a snorkel. As has been mentioned Celtic and Hearts have pitch inspections tomorrow so wouldn't be a massive surprise if the game is called off.

Assuming it does go ahead I would expect a very close game.

This confused the shite out of me until I realised you're a Glasgow fan. You are a Glasgow fan right? Best of luck tomorrow, let's hope the game goes ahead and it a good un

Both Ryanair and Aer Lingus flights out to Glasgow this morning cancelled, so there'll be little or no support too :(

Maybe we could just agree a 4 try each draw, 3 points a piece, shake hands, everyone's a winner and nobody needs to get blown away :D

Official twitter account reporting game is off. Looking at 2nd/3rd weekend of March for a free slot. Glasgow already using the free slot in Feb for a rearranged Jan game due to the Racing game being cancelled last month.

Sorry for the confusion. Yup Glasgow fan from Ireland just to be really confusing. Joined this forum before the H Cup final in Edinburgh.

Not surprised the game has been called off. Not many weekends free to reschedule it either.

No shame in going local, it's not as if he's on a bandwagon like the lunsters are - they're a strange breed unto themselves.
