Weekend Update

The 1872 Cup is Glasgow's, Zander becomes a centurion and a brand new magazine - catch up on everything that's been happening in the latest Weekend Update.

1872 Cup secured

For the first time since 2016/17, the 1872 Cup will be staying in Glasgow during the off-season after the decider went the way of the Warriors on Friday night.

An inspired Glasgow performance saw the home side run out 29-19 victors at Scotstoun, much to the delight of players, staff and fans alike.

That was a classic!

100 up for Zander

It was an extra special evening for Zander Fagerson, as the tight-head became the youngest prop in club history to reach his 100th appearance for Glasgow Warriors.

The 25-year-old put in his usual industrious performance, with co-captains Ryan Wilson and Fraser Brown insisting on him lifting the trophy to boot.

For the first time in four years, @GlasgowWarriors have regained the 1872 Cup! ⚔
