Police are investigation reports of alleged spiking by injection in a Glasgow nightclub.
EDINBURGH coach Richard Cockerill was left frustrated and disappointed in the end at Murrayfield yesterday, despite his immense pride in his team’s display against Munster.
AWAY victories, at this stage in European Cup rugby, are few and far between. If one team know how to win on the road it is Munster. Yesterday at Murrayfield, the Irish unit – often second best in this epic contest, but in their 18th quarter-final - got ahead late on, staved off a breathless Edinburgh onslaught which took that match deep in to the red, and then celebrated with the red army that had descended from Limerick.
HIS rookie season in the British Touring Car Championship is behind him, and he has left his trusty MG behind as well. Now all Rory Butcher has to try to do this campaign is leave the rest of the grid in his wake.
Glasgow Warriors kept their ambition of a place in the knock-out stages of this season’s PRO14 firmly on track at Scotstoun with victory over Toyota Cheetahs, so keeping their advantage over Munster at the top of Conference A. But, it was a performance which frustrated Glasgow coach Dave Rennie.
YOU could say there will be no love lost when Glasgow Warriors go toe to toe with Saracens next Saturday for a place in the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup. However, that is to assume there was any love between the pair in the first place.
THERE was a time when at five o’clock on a Saturday evening, climbing behind the couch wasn’t a bad idea. Doctor Who had that effect on people. Four (maybe five) decades on, I felt like hiding again watching Scotland being ripped apart by England in the first-half at Twickenham. By full-time, my mood – and that of a nation - had changed, although a few hours on I’m not quite sure whether I should have celebrated or drowned my sorrows.
WHENEVER I think of Six Nations matches at Murrayfield (and even Five Nations before that), I seem to be able to recall more matches against the Welsh than any other nation, even England. Maybe that’s because through time, there have been some genuine, unforgettable moments.
IT has been a week of celebration in Wales, a win over England kicking things off and keeping Welsh hopes, dreams and ambitions of a Six Nations title, a Grand Slam and Triple crown very much alive, while Friday was St David’s Day.
There cannot have been many more rewarding away days for Glasgow Warriors than the one enjoyed at the Stadio Lanfranchi in Parma yesterday.
