Glasgow playing swashbuckling rugby, underpinned by defensive snarl and set-piece excellence.

In their past two games:

They average around 5pts per 22 visit
They've made 15 line breaks and beaten 46 defenders
They have a 90% tackle success rate
They have a 100% lineout accuracy

After his bonkers five-try bonanza, Johnny Matthews now averages a try every 40 minutes this season.

Across his entire Glasgow career, it's roughly a try every 60 minutes.

He's basically Erling Haaland. pic.twitter.com/tQn0IChuMT

It's another Johnny Matthews special after he became the first @GlasgowWarriors player to score 5 tries in a match.

The previous record was 4 tries for Derek Stark and Tommy Seymour.

Johnny is also the first Warriors' player to score 3 hat-tricks. #WhateverItTakes pic.twitter.com/MJtA0eLvtB

Johnny has scored 8 tries in the last 95 minutes that he has played at Scotstoun – that's a 5-pointer every 11.9 minutes.

Against Dragons he bagged both the fastest and earliest hat-trick by a @GlasgowWarriors' player. #WhateverItTakes pic.twitter.com/kY8nJaP3WS

Johnny's performance means that – without kicking a single point – he is now ranked in the top 10 for most individual points scored in a game for @GlasgowWarriors. #WhateverItTakes pic.twitter.com/S8eWoAbUa4

— Kevin Millar (@topofthemoonGW) April 2, 2023

Johnny has the equal best strike rate (appearances divided by tries) for @GlasgowWarriors, the only forward to make the top 10. #WhateverItTakes pic.twitter.com/9u0HCh4laZ

— Kevin Millar (@topofthemoonGW) April 2, 2023

With 11 tries during 2022/23 so far, Johnny is 1 of just 6 players who have scored 10 or more tries in a season for @GlasgowWarriors.

The club record of 12 (held jointly by Sean Lamont, Thom Evans, DTH van der Merwe and George Horne) is in his sights… #WhateverItTakes pic.twitter.com/igdQqKyUsJ
