DISCUSSION POINTS

How do they cope with life after Finn Russell? The ten’s departure to France strips the Warriors of one of their true marquee players and they haven’t replaced him. Dave Rennie will try Pete Horne and Adam Hastings in the position in the hope that can lessen the loss of the Scotstoun hero.

There are other things to resolve. Glasgow’s form fell away badly after a blistering start to last term. When it came to the crunch, they

had nothing left to give and bowed out of the competition pretty tamely in front of their own people.

Rennie needs to re-energise this group. Former Wallaby Nick Frisby is the only relatively well-known recruit. Business has been slow at Glasgow. But they still have a fine squad when they’re all on form.

One of the chief tasks facing the head coach is to find a way of getting the best out of Huw Jones in his midfield. Jones can be a devastating force for Scotland and that form needs to be taken into his club life as well if Glasgow are to have aspirations of glory.
