If Glasgow crosses hoped to prove to be an attraction for Scotland coach Gregor Townsend, this run against the Ospreys in Swansea was the last chance to find their way into the delayed Six Nations clash in Wales
Scottish team members Sam Johnson, Nick Grigg and Huw Jones have all been deployed by Glasgow coach Danny Wilson, with Jones at the back, but none have managed to replace Chris Harris, James Lang or Adam Hastings
Johnson was pretty solid but could do with a few more games before an international comeback, while the others showed flashes but faded with their squad as Glasgow slid to a 23-15 defeat after early domination
Jones started and finished the first down, hooker George Turner securing his team’s second place on a lineout, but the visitors failed to add to those two downs in the opening 18 minutes, with only a penalty of Peter Horne to be added in the last hour
« It was a great opportunity for some of these guys to get a first game, say Sam Johnson’s first game in eight months, so at least some of these guys are back and I’ll leave the Scottish squad with some other people, « Wilson said
« Ultimately for us, we will focus on the fact that this was not the outcome we were looking for and the lessons we are learning from it.
“I think it will be the difference between two halves of rugby that we played, the one very well and controlling but which did not transform that pressure enough into points and the second half where we had no pressure until ‘At the end of the match
“We had a few youngsters who played, Jamie Dobie, I think I did some really good things for a 19 year old scrum half and is an exciting player going forward.
“Hamish Bain is a young second row who had to play a lot more in his first game than we wanted but we didn’t have a second row on the bench so we had to bring in a back row and he had to play a a little longer
« These are good experiences for these guys and in the long run it will do us good, but today is disappointing »
After letting the Ospreys get back into the game and then have a decent lead, Glasgow had the opportunity at the end to claim at least one losing bonus point They rejected a penalty to try their luck, but ended in a disappointing way with nothing out of the game
