Only caught 2nd half of #EdinburghRugby vs #Wolfhounds but Edinburgh did really well to deny the visitors points in the 2nd half & score 4 tries of their own to secure a try bonus point. Solid exits and pressure in the Wolfhounds half, attack clicking a lot more showing their threat and potential.

Missed the first 20min of the 2nd half & was stuck watching on my phone. Killer blow for #GlasgowWarriors not securing the kickoff after their try to take the lead. Stayed stuck under #GwaliaLightning pressure in their half for most of the last 15 mins & Gwalia deny them a losing bonus point.

Had a couple of box kicks attempts charged. Suggests they may not have a box kicking strategy drilled?

#GlasgowWarriors have improved as the game has gone, a handful of better exits and got attacking opportunities and pressure in the #GwaliaLightning half. But overall the hosts have been inaccurate at set piece and exits and gifted Gwalia too many dangerous opportunities in their red zone.

Another absolute bomb from Carys Hughes. #GwaliaLightning

And into what I understand is a really strong wind. Super impressive.

Twice now #GlasgowWarriors have played Poppy Mellanby on the inside shoulder of Briar McNamara. Catching #GwaliaLightning backs defending laterally with hips turned to the sideline.

Both teams using 2 player pods really effectively. #GwaliaLightning in particular are switching between pod shapes regularly and asking questions of the #GlasgowWarriors defense.

Excellent box kick from Mairi McDonald, massive distance gained. Dont know why #GlasgowWarriors don't use her boot more often!

Sian Jones and Carys Hughes for #GwaliaLightning are fantastic to watch. Both a threat with ball in hand, organize and distribute really well. Keeping Gwalia constantly going forward and playing off quick ball.

Another instance of #GlasgowWarriors trying to force ball in hand play in their own red zone and lacking accuracy. Keep gifting #GwaliaLightning dangerous attacks in their 22m.

Excellent exit that time from #GlasgowWarriors. Great kick from McNamara into the wind.

Glasgow struggling with set piece, particularly attacking lineout in their own red zone. Really hampering their ability to exit clean.

Watching #GlasgowWarriors vs #GwaliaLightning in the #CelticChallenge. Gwalia are dominating territory, several attacks in Glasgow red zone already in the first quarter, converting twice. Gwalia exiting their half successfully, Glasgow struggling. Gwalia using a variety of kicks to great effect.

As a preview to this weekend's Scottish derby in #CelticChallenge let's first have a look at some of #EdinburghRugby 's key performance stats and metrics across previous rounds. Currently sitting in 4th place on 14pts with 2 wins, Edinburgh aren't seeing the same success they had last season. 1/

Just caught up with the #EdinburghRugby game at #BrythonThunder from the #CelticChallenge earlier today (some of these KO times are too early for me in my time zone 😅). Will post a thread about it in the next couple of days! A thread about #GlasgowWarriors at #Clovers will follow shortly after.
