In today's Herald, Hugh claims Glasgow can learn from the way Munster react to referees.
"They're a very experienced team and I thought they played the referee very well," he said. "They cheat very well and get away with it. There was a lot of pulling back, holding down, screening off the ball that the referee and his touch judges didn't seem to pick up.
"It's a concern that we're not as streetwise and tend to get pinged when we do transgress. It's just the way we play. We're a bit too honest."
A first-half sin-binning of Donny Macfadyen, his third of the season, means he faces a one-match supension. The yellow card was given for killing the ball at the breakdown, which Munster did repeatedly but for which no cards were presented.
Donnie's mistake was offending close to his line and until officials improve their understanding of the game and realise that such infringements, further out, achieve exactly the same purpose, that is, preventing try-scoring opportunities, then those using such measures only as a last resort will continue to be singled out. "I thought Donny's yellow card was harsh, considering the number of balls that were killed early on. It's inconsistency," Hugh charged.
Fair enough, but, in this hard-nosed era, Hugh accepted that some may regard as un-professional players who do not show the flexibility required to respond quickly to how matches are being refereed.
"You could say that, but you could also say that you can aim to be a team which gives away very few penalties," he countered. "Against Munster, that's something we wanted to do, to keep them out of the game in terms of lineouts, which is their strength."
