Glasgow edges Connacht 22-19 in URC clash

Connacht continued to struggle in the United Rugby Championship (URC) with a 22-19 defeat to Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun Stadium, marking their sixth loss in seven matches. Despite showing promise with two tries from David Hawkshaw, Connacht was unable to capitalize on early pressure and fell behind after Glasgow scored three tries, including two from Sebastian Cancelliere and Ben Afshar. The match saw Connacht claw back in the second half but a missed penalty by JJ Hanrahan proved costly. Connacht's inconsistent form in the league contrasts sharply with their success in European competitions, where they have won all four Challenge Cup matches. The defeat leaves Connacht at 14th in the URC standings, with their next match critical for momentum. Finn Treacy made his debut for Connacht, highlighting the team's ongoing transition amid challenges.
