Glasgow player ratings: A more competitive showing than their April annihilation in Dublin, but the Warriors still lacked the control and precision needed to really trouble Leinster over 80 minutes. Here’s how the visitors rated in their 13–5 defeat. 1. Jamie Bhatti – 5Struggled against Clarkson, who is still in his infancy as a scrummager. Gave away ground at the set-piece and was replaced early in the second half. 2. Seb Stephen – 6Carried competently in traffic and didn’t shirk his work.

A first half of defensive failures is a problem, but they rectified that after half time. That left them with a points-difference mountain to climb. They actually did it, and spent minutes at the end of the game three points adrift, with possession, and on the opposition goal line. They had an extra player. And they also had a penalty right there. Forget anything else that happened in the game … top teams convert that.

Jake White’s Bulls spiked Glasgow’s attacking guns for most of Friday’s ‘revenge’ mission at Scotstoun to make themselves warm favourites to claim a top-two URC finish and the home advantage that could offer through the play-off stages. The powerhouse Pretoria outfit claimed an impressive 26-19 victory at the home of the reigning champions to move within a point of Warriors, who clung onto second place by virtue of George Horne converting Stafford McDowall’s last-minute try.

“I was wondering if the AIL had clubs that were on the tipping point of wanting to become pro, how close could they get to a current Ulster etc”. The Irish structure has always been the International team at the top, then the four provinces, then the clubs below that. Before the pro era in each province there were senior clubs playing each other, and that was pretty much “ring fenced”…no relegation or promotion. Then below that a series of junior leagues.
