Glasgow overpower Connacht to maintain unbeaten start

Glasgow Warriors run in five tries to beat Connacht 36-19 and continue their unbeaten start to the United Rugby Championship season.

Tries: Hiddleston 2, Darge, McKay, Stephen Cons: Horne 4 Pens: Lancaster

After last weekend's draw with Ulster at Scotstoun, Warriors were gunning for their first home win of the campaign.

But it was Connacht who started on the front foot and number eight Sean Jansen found his way to the line to put the visitors in front.

The early stages were played almost exclusively in the home side's half, but on their first real foray into opposition territory Warriors sent a rolling line-out maul thundering over the Connacht line, with Gregor Hiddleston touching down.

The game was a little bitty, with neither side really getting their attacking game firing, so it was no surprise when Glasgow's second try came courtesy of another driving maul. Rory Darge was on hand to finish it off this time, and George Horne knocked over the conversion to put Warriors into a five-point lead.
