Frustration as Connacht held by Glasgow

Connacht 19 Glasgow 19

Glasgow travelled looking to consolidate their position in the top four. With fixtures to Leinster and Munster to come, Sean Lineen needed his second string Glasgow side to do the business against a Connacht side needing to take advantage of a Warriors outfit shorn of some 10 frontline players on international duty.

Instead both sides were forced to settle for an unsatisfactory draw. Connacht, having fought their way back into contention and taken a 70th minute lead, failed to put the game away, conceding a try at the death. Ultimately Connacht should consider themselves lucky. Had replacement out-half Colin Gregor converted Eddie James’ effort, it would been a truly dispiriting day for the home side.
