Weekend Update

• 5 Oct 2020

The season gets underway, a new kit, and the Scottish Rugby Store comes to Glasgow - check out what's been happening with the first Weekend Update of the 2020/21 campaign.

Edged out in Galway

Glasgow Warriors came up just short in their opening match of the 2020/21 Guinness PRO14, as Connacht edged a closely-fought affair 28-24 in Galway on Saturday evening.

Despite tries from Nick Grigg, Huw Jones and Tommy Seymour, Danny Wilson’s side were rewarded with only a losing bonus-point for their efforts at The Sportsground.

.@tommy_seymour14 is the first player in @GlasgowWarriors history to score tries in 10 consecutive seasons.

Yesterday was the 5th time he has scored a try in the club’s opening game of the season. #WeAreWarriors

Despite a strong performance it wasn’t the result we hoped for @GlasgowWarriors on Saturday, but we’re sure the team will take the positives and bounce back.

Kenny Murray was frustrated to lose this evening’s #PRO14Rugby opener, but knows that there is more to come from the Warriors.#WhateverItTakes ⚔️?️https://t.co/jkWehoeHHN
