Glasgow Warriors dominated Cardiff with a comprehensive 40-17 victory, moving to the top of the United Rugby Championship table. The Warriors scored five tries through Jack Dempsey, Kyle Steyn, Johnny Matthews, Patrick Schickerling, and Kyle Rowe, while Cardiff managed only two consolation tries from Danny Southworth and Jacob Beetham.

Johnny Matthews was particularly influential, crossing twice to secure a bonus point for Glasgow. The Warriors opened the scoring with Dempsey before Steyn extended their lead, with Adams' try Cardiff's only first-half response. Glasgow's control was evident as they repeatedly carved through Cardiff's defense with clinical precision.

This result puts Glasgow in pole position for the title, with a bonus-point win against Ulster next weekend securing first place and home advantage through any potential playoff run. Cardiff faces a must-win match against Stormers to secure a top-eight playoff spot. Matthews' departure for Montauban this summer adds extra significance to his performance in this crucial victory.
