Glasgow Warriors Beat Benetton 42-10 in URC Opener

Glasgow Warriors delivered a commanding performance against Benetton, winning 42-10 and showcasing their attacking prowess with six tries, including two from captain Kyle Steyn. The match saw a significant turning point when Benetton's Scott Scrafton received a red card for a high tackle on Adam Hastings just before halftime, leaving his team to play with 14 men for the second half. Despite the setback, Glasgow maintained their dominance, capitalizing on the numerical advantage and scoring additional tries from Rory Darge, Jamie Dobie, and Euan Ferrie. Adam Hastings, starting his first game since returning to Glasgow, contributed with two conversions but was unable to continue after the break due to injury. While the Warriors celebrated their home win, they also faced concerns over injuries to key players, including Steyn and Horne. Coach Franco Smith acknowledged the team’s progression compared to their previous match and emphasized their potential for improvement in upcoming games.
