Team News

Glasgow Warriors

Head coach Franco Smith highlighted the reason for his team's impressive victory over Leinster last weekend: “It’s the way we train and the way we try to develop the game.

“I think the game is going that way. If you look at the Six Nations, there were a lot of tries scored. It’s maybe what’s demanded of the game now.

“That is the ingredient that brings enthusiasm to club rugby as well.

“We were going to try and score as many tries as possible, but I didn’t think we would get to that many. I thought we played really well. I was really proud of the boys.”

Gregor Hiddleston has extended his contract with the Glasgow Warriors until 2028.

Benetton

Fijian winger Onisi Ratave has signed a one-year extension on his contract.

Centre Josh Flook and lock Isaia Walker-Leawere have also recently signed for Benetton.
