Glasgow Warriors secure playoff spot with comeback win over Zebre

Glasgow Warriors overcame a difficult first half to secure a 14-6 comeback victory over Zebre in Parma, maintaining their unbeaten record against the Italian side. After trailing 6-0 at halftime due to handling errors and strong Zebre defense, Glasgow capitalized on a yellow card to Zebre's Matteo Canali early in the second half. Tries from Josh McKay and Stafford McDowall, both converted by Tom Jordan, proved decisive as the Warriors took control during Zebre's period with a player in the sin-bin. The result secured Glasgow a home quarter-final in the URC playoffs and marked an important recovery following their heavy defeat to Leinster the previous week. Head coach Franco Smith praised his team's resilience and acknowledged Zebre's defensive improvements, noting the challenge posed by their opponents. Despite a lackluster first half and multiple squad changes, Glasgow's character and composure in the second half ensured the crucial win.
