Midweek Update
9 Oct 2019A rampant Scotland win against Russia, a young star commits his future to the Warriors and build-up to Saturday continues - catch up with our special Midweek Update.
Warriors run the show in Shizuoka
With Scotland knowing that nothing less than a bonus-point win would suffice over Russia in order to keep their Rugby World Cup hopes alive, Glasgow Warriors players came to the fore as Gregor Townsend’s side romped to a 61-0 victory in Shizuoka.
George Horne ran in a hat-trick, Adam Hastings contributed 26 points and Tommy Seymour and George Turner also crossed the whitewash to set up a showdown with Japan in Yokohama on Sunday…

DTH makes history
Whilst Canada suffered a heavy defeat to South Africa yesterday, there was one landmark moment for DTH van der Merwe.
?? History maker…
It might not have been the result he would have wanted, but there was a wee bit of history for @DTHVDM in Kobe today – the winger became the record appearance maker for @RugbyCanada in Rugby World Cups.
Congratulations, DTH! pic.twitter.com/4UNVL3xIHW
