Historic Comeback Against Toulouse

Scotstoun witnessed one of the most famous evenings in Glasgow Warriors history, as Franco Smith’s men roared back from a 21-0 half-time deficit to claim an unforgettable 28-21 victory over Stade Toulousain. Second-half scores from Josh McKay, Gregor Brown, Sione Tuipulotu and Gregor Hiddleston secured an iconic result for the home side, moving top of their Investec Champions Cup pool at the halfway stage of the round-robin phase. The victory was particularly significant given that Toulouse boasted a star-studded lineup and entered the match as six-time European champions. This triumph demonstrated the Warriors’ resilience and mental fortitude, qualities that will serve them well throughout the demanding season ahead.

1872 Cup Dominance

The Warriors continued their impressive form with victory in the opening match of the prestigious 1872 Cup derby. Glasgow Warriors proved too powerful for their cross-country rivals at Hampden Park, as Franco Smith’s men earned a bonus-point 24-12 win over Edinburgh Rugby. Franco Smith noted the match as “a massive, hard-fought victory”, acknowledging Edinburgh’s defensive strength whilst praising his team’s determination. The fixture, held at Scotland’s iconic national stadium, attracted significant attention and showcased the quality of Scottish rugby to a broader audience.

Looking Ahead: Building for Success

Scott Cummings says he is excited to keep building as a Glasgow Warrior, after putting pen to paper on a new deal that will see him remain at the club for the foreseeable future, signalling the club’s ambition to retain key players. Under Franco Smith’s leadership, the Warriors have impressed at Scotstoun and on the road, showcasing a blend of experienced stars and exciting new talent. With the Investec Champions Cup and the festive 1872 Cup derbies on the horizon, Glasgow fans have plenty to look forward to this season. These victories represent more than just points on the table—they demonstrate Glasgow Warriors’ growing status as a force in European rugby and their ability to compete with the continent’s elite clubs.
