Glasgow Warriors 19-43 Toulon: French side power to EPCR Challenge Cup
Toulon had heroic performances from Serin, Nayacalevu, Cheslin Kolbe and Charles Ollivon among a battalion of others, but all eyes turned to Parisse at the end.The Glasgow fans might not have been minded to salute him, but everybody else in rugby would have done so heartily. He'll be exiting the game in the blink of an eye but the legacy? Sensational, absolutely sensational.
They had huge chunks of attacking minutes in the opening half, masses of excellent field position, five metre scrums, five metre lineouts, overlaps and they butchered every one of them with a lack of accuracy, an outbreak of panic and some wretched decision making. Serin went off injured at the break but he'd done more than enough damage in the 40 minutes he played.
Glasgow's lineout was catastrophic. The great Parisse's try had its origins in an error out of touch by the Warriors, a ball slapped down and gobbled up Toulon. Parisse blasted over from close range. Over he went for his second score, over went the conversion and over and out went the cry from the Glasgow fans. At 21-0, there was no coming back. The only thing left to be decided at that point - and we were only in the 25th minute - was how bad was it going to get. Gruesomely bad, as it turned out.
