Folau Niua got a bit of a tease this week. After being named to Glasgow's 23 man roster less than a week with the club he failed to see time as he was the only unused sub for the club in their win over Cardiff. No worries elsewhere as most other players in the top divisions around Europe saw time for their clubs, including Taku Ngwneya and Scott LaValla, who both suffered losses. The weather did have an impact on several matches with some being postponed to a later date. Also of note, Nick Wallace and Graham Harriman saw time in the BC Premier League over the weekend (hey, it's still technically abroad).
