Wales has 3 good teams. The Scarlets, Ospreys and Blues all have a host of internationals, and have all got through to the later stages of the Heineken Cup, not something Glasgow can claim. But Glasgow can beat them all regularly, last year's 28-0 win over a Cardiff Blues team that came close to the Heineken Cup final was a particular highlight.

And then there's the Newport Gwent Dragons. No star players (in fact, no one I'ver ever heard of), no long cup runs (they once lost a play-off for entry to the Heineken Cup to an Italian team!!!). And our record against them is abysmal. There's no better illustration of the frustration of being a Glasgow fan, one sight of the Dragons turn us from The Cat into Duane Dibbley, if that's an analogy that can survive the translation into rugby terms.

Last weekend's latest encounter in Wales with this team of nobodies was a classic, some of the softest tries it's been my misfortune to witness. And unfortunately our coach gets it in the neck for making 6 changes; this was a game we should have targeted to win, resting our captain doesn't look the smartest move in the circumstances. And the losing habit is catching, 10 point half-time lead turned into a 10 point defeat v the Ospreys at home this weekend.

Perhaps good job I'm not able to witness all this. Maybe a bad season to launch a blog since I'm missing all the games! And won't make Biarritz in the Heineken Cup either. Oh well, never stopped me spreading uninformed comment across the ether before...
