Your views on the weekend's rugby

We asked for your thoughts after a win for Glasgow against Benetton, and a defeat for Edinburgh away to Bulls in the URC.

Here's a taste of what you had to say:

: Sometimes Edinburgh are simply frightened to win. They get into a scoring position and then simply forget how to convert. They are a bit like Scotland and sometimes Glasgow in that they have not yet worked out how to travel those last five meters. Unlike Glasgow they haven't figured out how to score the long range tries like Scotland and Glasgow.

: Same old story with Edinburgh, with what few opportunities the backs had they managed to butcher, Darcy Graham should have been under the posts but ran the wrong lines, Duhan van der Merwe should be taught a side step and the pack just don't have that vital grunt to get over the line. Grant Gilchrist has had his day. The worry is that there were probably five starters for Scotland's team there.

: Competitive in the forwards, but backs lacked any killer instinct or cutting edge, it continues to be the difference between Edinburgh and other teams.

: A good result much aided by Bennetonâ€TMs indiscipline. However, some of that indiscipline was in part due to Glasgow pressure and commitment.

: Ever since his first match at Scotstoun I thought Kyle Steyn would become a really good player. I was wrong. He is excellent in every facet of his game and leads by example. Unfortunately, I feel he'll miss out on Lions selection because he's not a flashy big name in the eyes of those outside Scotland. However, he's a URC championship winner.

: Great win, but thereâ€TMs definitely areas to work on, line out needs a tweak but there were lots of positives. Only seven penalties and two of those in the first two minutes. The attack looked menacing and they were only a couple of inches away from having 60 points on the board.

: Warriors, for the second week, looked the better side on the field, with a better outcome. It was the first match this season in cold conditions and may have contributed to the handling errors. Misfires by both hookers on throws at lineouts near the oppositions line. We left a load of scores on the field. Benneton looked decent until the red card.

: I thought 90% of the performance was great, and itâ€TMs hard to complain about a six try win! But we could still be more clinical. After the red card the game was never in danger which was a shame as Benneton did look good at times, but last week showed what happens when you donâ€TMt take your chances. Better teams will punish you for it.
