Warriors put dip behind them to storm into next round
Wales on Sunday
|June 01, 2025
FRANCO Smith claimed he was not surprised to see champions Glasgow turn on the style in their United Rugby Championship quarter-final victory over Stormers because he was always confident they would bounce back from their recent dip.
-
Warriors romped to a five-try 36-18 triumph over their South African visitors on Friday night to set up a semi-final showdown with Leinster in next weekend's semi-final.
Much of the pre-match talk had surrounded the fact Glasgow had lost four of their previous five matches, including a shock 33-7 defeat away to Benetton.
Smith argued that some form of drop-off was inevitable amid such a gruelling schedule, and he is hopeful that his team are back on song at just the right time to defend their title.
