A LATE penalty by Duncan Weir, and a fighting spirit that was in evidence from first to last, got Glasgow’s Challenge Cup campaign off to a winning start yesterday.
The Warriors were never behind in the Pool A game, and although the contest hung in the balance right until the end, they thoroughly deserved their victory.
Franco Smith had insisted he had not selected a weakened squad for this game, a claim that was hard to credit given the head coach had rested so many of his first-choice players. But while this line-up may have looked like a second string on paper, their performance was first rate, vindicating Smith’s confidence in them.
