Regular watchers of the Pro 12 will know that, on song, Glasgow Warriors can produce Rugby of the highest calibre. Akin to a Super Rugby team, Gregor Townsend’s charges can go through the gears ruthlessly and quickly.

Last Sunday in their match away to Bath, the Scots impressively showed their wears to the wider European audience.

Even though they would eventually succumb to defeat, 20-15, the moment of the match had to belong to Glasgow’s Richie Vernon.

The number eight found himself on the end of an incisive eight pass move that filleted Bath’s defensive resistance.

This is something you don’t see very often, a lock with the requisite dexterity to execute offloads with the authority of a back.

But, in Leone Nakarawa, Glasgow Warriors have a lock exactly capable of that.

The former Fijian 7’s player was in typically abrasive form last weekend in the Warriors comprehensive rout of Bath in the European Champions Cup, providing two sumptuous offloads.

In Cardiff Blues’ recent defeat to the Glasgow Warriors, Filo Paulo, Cardiff’s New Zealand born lock, hit Jonny Gray, Warriors’ lock, with a meaty challenge that sent the younger brother of Lion Richie hurtling to the ground.

Gray would have the last laugh, however, as Warriors would go on to claim a relatively comfortable win in what has been a great start to the season for the Scottish side.

In an interview with the Irish Independent, following the culmination of the World Club 7’s at Thomond Park, American 7’s sensation Carlin Isles claims he will return to the 15 man game, after representing his country at the 2016 Olympics.

A much publicized move to Glasgow Warriors saw Isles fail to make an appearance for the Scottish sides first team, but the American claims that he is richer for the experience and will return to Union, reinvigorated in 2016.

“For sure I’ll go back playing union. I’m trying to focus on the Olympics right now and try and be the best rugby player I can be. I’m still learning and developing my game,” mused Isles.

“It was great moving to union. There was a good coaching staff and team in Glasgow and they taught me a lot and it was a great experience, said Isles to the Independent’s Cian Tracey.

There are no reservations about Isles ability to adapt to the physical demands of Union, but whether he will be refined enough in the art of defense remains to be seen. Still, given his obvious try scoring prowess, there will likely be several teams who are willing to take a punt on the American, post Rio 2016.
