Glasgow Warriors keep United Rugby Championship play-off hopes alive with victory over Sharks

Glasgow Warriors kept their United Rugby Championship play-off hopes alive with a hard-fought victory over the Sharks at Scotstoun Stadium. The Warriors secured a 21-5 win, with first-half tries from George Horne, Max Williamson, and Kyle Steyn setting the tone for the match.

The Warriors started the game on the front foot, with Horne’s quick tap penalty catching out the Sharks defense and allowing him to score the opening try. Williamson and Steyn followed suit with impressive tries of their own, putting Glasgow in control of the match.

Despite a spirited response from the Sharks, who managed to reduce the arrears with a try from Ntuthuko Mchunu, Glasgow held on for the win. The Warriors were unable to secure a bonus-point victory, but their solid performance keeps them in contention for a spot in the play-offs.

The match was not without its challenges, as both teams were plagued by injuries throughout the game. Oli Kebble, who made his 100th Warriors appearance, was forced off the field shortly after coming on as a substitute.

With the race for a top-four finish heating up, every point is crucial for the Warriors. While they were unable to secure a bonus point in this match, their victory over the Sharks puts them in a good position heading into their next game against Zebre in Italy.

Glasgow will need to maintain their momentum in the coming weeks if they hope to secure a spot in the play-offs. With fine margins likely to decide the final standings, every win is vital for the Warriors as they push for a top-two finish in the United Rugby Championship.
