Rugby fans, you had three games to watch over the weekend. Here are your views on Edinburgh's win over Sharks, Glasgow's defeat to Stormers and Scotland's loss in Italy in the Women's Six Nations.

SCOTLAND WOMEN

Simon: Was always going to be a tough tournament for Scotland. A new coach, a lot of experience and leadership retired. The injuries to key players is unfortunate. Some of the younger players are now involved way more than was probably intended so some of the players are now playing for Scotland with just 10-12 professional games under their belt. Bit of hurt now but can only help us going forward.

Bruce: Scotland were never in with a shout of third. Always in a dog fight with Wales and Italy to avoid wooden spoon. If we played Wales now we would lose and finish last. Desperately poor.

Rosco: Need to be honest to move forward, Scotland women are miles off it. The players are simply not good enough or fit enough. They need to take a good look at themselves and accept things need to change.

GLASGOW WARRIORS

Dave: Tough game. Stormers really came at Glasgow and the forward battle was ferocious. Glasgow stuck at it and battled hard. There were a few uncharacteristic mistakes, but given the number of players out and the experience of the starters I was not that surprised by the scoreline. Glasgow will need to play better, and probably will, but they have also give some experience to a number of academy players in this mini tour. Tough but they are still in the hunt for top two and I think Franco Smith would have known that. Glasgow will need their top forwards back from injury for the season ending games.

Gus: Poor show by Glasgow, looked like they were on holiday. Always next week.

Bruce: Glasgow have run out of steam. Squad is good but lacks a bit of depth.

EDINBURGH

David M: Too little too late from Edinburgh again. Their season is to all intents and purposes over. It does not matter what they do now; they failed when it really mattered. And will do so again next season because that is what Edinburgh do.

David: A bad day at the office for Scottish rugby. Isn't it just as well we have Edinburgh.
