Connacht pulled off a dramatic upset at Dexcom Stadium, defeating URC leaders Glasgow Warriors 15-10 with a last-gasp try from Sean Jansen. The Irish province had been trailing for most of the match but snatched victory in the dying moments, denying Glasgow the chance to extend their lead at the top of the United Rugby Championship table.

Glasgow had controlled possession and territory for long periods but couldn't convert their dominance into points. Connacht's defense held firm, and a yellow card to John Joyce in the 58th minute briefly swung momentum Glasgow's way. However, the Warriors failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage, and Connacht's resilience paid off when Jansen broke through in the final moments.

The result is a major blow to Glasgow's title aspirations and a significant boost for Connacht's playoff hopes. For Glasgow, the defeat highlights their struggles to finish games against determined opponents, while Connacht will take enormous confidence from toppling the competition leaders.
