Glasgow Warriors got their URC season underway with an impressive 43-25 win over Leinster as Geroge Horne caps his 100th appearance in style.
Glasgow scored seven tries - a club record against Leinster - to highlight their billing as one of the favourites in the competition with the highlight Horne’s try less than a minute after his introduction. It was a special moment for the 28-year-old as he raced clear to score and he celebrated poignantly.Cup and it showed.
“It’s in our DNA to score tries. I was asked during the week about what needs to get better and one of them is definitely our defence. We defended much better last season but didn’t always get the reward on the board for that. Even tonight, although I thought we were exceptional in the number of tackles we made, we still left a few tries which I think we could have prevented”
Leinster’s advances into the Glasgow 22 were sparse during the opening twenty minutes but Harry Byrne reduced the deficit to a point with two penalties. Although Leinster were missing several key players, they are a formidable side and they demonstrated their resilience by scoring their first try on 30 minutes. Glasgow defended their try line well initially under heavy pressure but their resistance finally ended when Jack Boyle managed to ground the ball.
Warriors head coach Franco Smith intimated that he wanted his side to become as renowned for their defensive ability as their attacking flair and the early signs were positive as they produced a monumental effort to resist sustained pressure to preserve their 11-point lead at the break.
