It's got him one try and a few line breaks around him

Glasgow 33 Connacht 21
Connacht gave access into their 22 far too easily mistakes pens & poor decision making at times
Some good performances & can't question the fight
But Glasgow were more accurate clinical and controlled where the game was played in the main

Conceding 14 while up a player will be a big regret not taking some of those chances in the 1st half aswell
Starting attacks in their own half just puts so much pressure on fitness & sharpness
It was a big end to the year
Connacht have progressed but still there's that what if
Connacht 7 Glasgow 7
That was some half of rugby absolutely RAPID I'm out of breath watching
Connacht have had opportunities but haven't converted - put in big defensive shifts but silly pens are gifting Glasgow territory
Need to cut out errors in 2nd half
