New centurion Dobie marks milestone in style
28 Sep 2026Jamie Dobie has hailed Glasgow’s comeback win away to Munster as an “awesome start to the season” after marking his century with a try double.
Making his 100th appearance for the Scottish side at the age of just 25, the left winger sealed the victory by crossing for his second four minutes from time at Thomond Park.

Reflecting on his landmark outing, the versatile Dobie, who can also play at scrum-half, said: “It feels pretty surreal.
“Seven years have passed just like that, 100 games. I absolutely love this club and I am really proud to reach that milestone.”
Commenting on the Limerick triumph, he said: “Funnily enough, I made my first start on the wing for Glasgow here at Thomond Park a few years ago.
“To be back and make 100, on the wing again, something feels right about that.
“It’s an awesome place to do it. Credit to their fans. They create an awesome atmosphere. It’s one of the best away days you get.”
Last season’s table toppers Glasgow trailed 17-7 at the break before staging a stirring revival.
“We were just a little bit off with some of our details and some of our skills in the first half,” said Dobie.
“We felt we were creating lots of chances, but maybe just not taking them. It was just about executing a little bit better.
“We are delighted to pick up that win. It was an awesome way to turn the game around and to start the season.”
Praising Dobie, Glasgow head coach Franco Smith said: “I can’t say enough compliments to him.
“He is a great asset to us. He works so hard with his application and he is so competitive in every action.
“He’s physical for a guy that doesn’t look physical, he’s got a very good skill-set, he can basically do any sport well.
“Apart from that, he’s a great man and a lot of the young boys learn from it. He is a very good example for them. He’s very positive at training and has a big influence in the club.
“It doesn’t matter where he plays, he contributes massively. He’s a fantastic player and an excellent person to have in the team. He’s a true warrior.”

Adding his thoughts on Dobie, skipper Stafford McDowall said: “You always know what you are going to get from him. It’s a nine or ten out of ten every time.
“We are blessed to have players like that who can play multiple positions.
“He’s a massive part of the club and I think the boys showed how much he means to them out there on his 100th. We are really happy for him and hopefully made it a good week for him.”
The centre added: “Coming away to a place like Thomond Park, you know you’ve got to be on your game.
“We chose to play into the wind in the first half in the hope it would stay strong for the second and thankfully it did.
“I thought Munster were unbelievable in the first 20 minutes. They probably shocked us a little bit.
“But, as the first half went on, we grew into the game and started to hold on to the ball and be direct and it paid off in the end.
“It wasn’t going to be perfect, with a lack of cohesion. The first game of the season is always going to be like that.
“But I was really proud of the way the boys stuck to it.
“We will keep our feet on the ground, rock up to training on Monday, work hard and go again next week.
“This league is so competitive. I watched the games earlier on in the weekend and there are no bad teams in this league, there never have been.”
