Cammy wants a repeat performance

Cammy Mather thinks Glasgow's squad is improving in quality
Cammy Mather rates Glasgow's first-half performance in the Celtic League victory over Llanelli last month as the best he has witnessed since returning north at the start of last season.

Glasgow went in 37-10 at half-time, having already secured a bonus point. The match finished 40-29 with Glasgow playing the last 20 minutes with 14 men after Euan Murray's controversial sending-off.

Cammy tells Iain Morrison in today's Scotland on Sunday: "That was undoubtedly Glasgow's best rugby that I've seen. I think that while the squad is smaller than last year, the quality of the players is improving. Look at our results this season and only two teams have whipped us, the Ospreys and Toulouse. We should have beaten Munster and the Dragons after leading for 70% of the match. We should have beaten Cardiff and Leinster away and we should have beaten Northampton in the Heineken Cup."

But Cammy isn't taking anything for granted about today's Heineken Cup match with Llanelli.

"Rugby doesn't always work like that," muses Cammy. "Sometimes thrashing your opponents a fortnight before you play them again isn't the best idea. Perhaps because we are a young side we got to half time and thought: 'Oh my God!' There was a sense of disbelief, like we almost panicked because we did'’t know what to do next."
