I'm pretty sure Thom Evans lives on our street. Always see him getting out a car/taxi with a hold-all.

Pity he's not in the main squad. I know he is still a bit raw, but there is no substitute for sheer pace and determination, and he showed against Cardiff he can cover and tackle and he has the strength.
Evans & Webster for wingers!!

Thom Evans is the best winger that Glasgow have seen since Sean Lamont left. He is quick and is amazing in defence and attack. Frank Hadden might have a few Glasgow boys in his squad but he is missing out by not having Thom!

I've been impressed by the way his defence has come along - he rarely misses a tackle and he's pretty strong for a speedster!
