Leinster spurn late chance as Glasgow sneak win

A MISSED drop goal on full time by Leinster out-half Isa Nacewa helped give Glasgow victory in a match dominated by the Irish province, but conceded to a home side that grew in confidence after the break.

But new coach Joe Schmidt can take much from the performance of a side that was missing its experienced core of players. Impressive last night at Firhill was flanker Dominic Ryan, while there was confirmation from Leinster scrum-half Isaac Boss that his acquisition from Ulster has been a useful transfer.

Both sides eased themselves into the game and after five minutes it was 3-3 with a penalty apiece from Fergus McFadden and Ruaridh Jackson.
