Glasgow Warriors claimed a bonus-point victory over Connacht to maintain their unbeaten start to the United Rugby Championship season. After last weekend's draw with Ulster, the home side was eager to secure their first home win of the campaign. Connacht started strongly with number eight Sean Jansen crossing the line early.
However, Glasgow quickly responded through a rolling line-out maul, with Gregor Hiddleston touching down. The home side continued to exploit Connacht's defensive weaknesses, with Hiddleston crossing for a second try before the break to give Glasgow a 12-point lead. The Warriors' dominance was further illustrated when Sam Illo was sin-binned for halting a maul, yet Glasgow still crossed again.
Jamie Dobie set up Josh Mc Kay for the bonus-point try, though Connacht replied through Josh Ioane. A late try from George Stephen, following Josh Murphy's sin-bin, effectively sealed the match. Lancaster added a penalty at the death to ensure the maximum five points.
Glasgow's attacking prowess, mixing power with precision, proved too much for Connacht despite a late fightback.
