Connacht were 34-26 winners against a Glasgow side which featured a host of Scotland’s World Cup squad.
CONNACHT CHALKED UP their second win in a row in the URC but will be disappointed not to have secured a bonus point in the process after another good performance.
Connacht had 62% possession in the opening half but went in trailing by three tries to one on a 19-14 scoreline as Glasgow Warriors made the most of some poor defending from limited opportunities.

That tied the game at 14-14 and when the Connacht scrum, with centre Forde stepping in for Butler, superbly defended four resets five metres from their line before Glasgow tighthead Zander Fagerson was pinged for wheeling, it seemed they would go in level at the break.
