In a tense and hard-fought encounter, Glasgow Warriors marked their return to the United Rugby Championship (URC) with a 24-20 victory over the Scarlets at Scotstoun Stadium. The win showcased the Warriors’ determination and composure under pressure as they weathered a late onslaught from the Welsh side.
After a slow start, Glasgow’s forwards laid the foundation for success, dominating the set-piece battles and providing a platform for their backs to attack. Tries from Sione Tuipulotu and Sebastian Cancelliere gave the hosts a narrow halftime lead, while the boot of George Horne kept the scoreboard ticking.
The Scarlets, however, refused to bow out quietly, with Jonathan Davies spearheading a spirited second-half comeback. A try from Sam Costelow narrowed the gap, setting up a nervy final quarter as Glasgow’s defense faced relentless pressure.
In the closing moments, Warriors captain Kyle Steyn praised his team’s resilience: “We knew it would come down to staying calm and sticking to our systems. Credit to the Scarlets, but the boys dug deep tonight.”
The win sees Glasgow gaining momentum early in the season as they aim to build on last year’s playoff campaign. Meanwhile, the Scarlets leave with a losing bonus point but plenty of positives to take into their next fixtures.
