With the fog from the pre-game fireworks, it was Glasgow who made the brighter start in front of over 25,000 at BT Murrayfield. An early scrum penalty won by Lucio Sordoni was kicked to touch, before Sione Tuipulotu’s thundering carry took the Warriors to within 10 metres. Good identification of space saw Tom Jordan pull […]

Jack Dempsey’s try and the kicking of George Horne and Tom Jordan proved decisive, as Franco Smith’s men earned a deserved victory in front of the Warrior Nation.
