Warriors in control despite gutsy Connacht performance

Although the home side had taken a 15-0 lead in the first-half, Connacht showed considerable spirit to fight back, come within a bonus point, but ultimately miss out in their first visit to the Warriors’ new Scotstoun ground.

Glasgow deservedly led 15 -10 after Connacht conceded two penalties in the opening four minutes, one of which Scott Wight converted for an early Glasgow lead. Right wing Sean Lamont was given too much room from a skip pass to score a 17th minute try after Keiron Marmion’s clearance was blocked down.
