Glasgow Warriors saw their chance to reach a maiden Investec Champions Cup semi-final vanish on home soil, falling 22-19 to three-time European champions RC Toulon at Scotstoun. The Warriors, who entered the fixture as slight favourites given their strong home record, could not contain the French visitors across a tight contest.

Despite the home side drawing first blood through Stafford McDowall, Toulon responded swiftly, ultimately outscoring Glasgow four tries to three. Glasgow briefly enjoyed the lead after Junior Kpoku’s yellow card allowed Ollie Smith to score while the hosts had the man advantage, putting them up 19-12 at one stage.

However, the visitors controlled the scoreboard late in the match, with Gael Drean grabbing a brace and Nacho Brex powering over for the decisive score that secured the narrow victory. Toulon now advances to face either Leinster or Sale in the semi-final stage.

Franco Smith’s squad fought hard after a pre-match injury ruled out Max Williamson, but the inability to secure the win means their European journey concludes at the quarter-final stage. The defeat confirms Toulon's superior experience in these high-stakes knockout matches.
