Glasgow’s ice rink and contract season

from Rugby Union Weekly · host BBC Radio 5 Live

The big shock of the weekend came up at Scotstoun as Glasgow stunned six-time champions Toulouse. Player of the Match Adam Hastings tells Ashy and Chris about their epic comeback and how the navigated the treacherous conditions at the ‘ice rink’. We also hear about Franco Smith’s coaching style and if winning their opening two Champions Cup matches has changed their outlook on this year’s tournament. Bath came unstuck at Toulon, Leinster scramble over the line against Leicester and Sale pick up a big win on the road. But there were still plenty of blowouts and low attendances in round two, would a 16-team competition solve the issue? There is plenty of transfer and contract chat as several players including Jac Morgan announce they’re on the move next season. Ashy gives us a great insight into the complexities of the contract game and why there is always more than meets than eye.
