Glasgow Warriors v Racing 92: Five Key Takeaways from a Ruthless Champions Cup Victory
Glasgow’s Firestorm Start Leaves Racing 92 Staggering
On a freezing night at Scotstoun, the Glasgow Warriors delivered a blistering performance that left Racing 92 gasping for answers. The 29-19 scoreline might suggest a relatively close affair, but make no mistake—this was a masterclass in dominance by the Warriors. With five tries to their name, Glasgow bulldozed their way to a bonus-point victory that now places them firmly atop Pool 4 in the Investec Champions Cup.
The match was practically over before Racing could find their footing, thanks to the relentless tempo and precision from the home side.
Fans who braved the cold were treated to an early barrage of tries from George Horne, Jamie Dobie, Sebastian Cancelliere, Kyle Steyn, and Rory Darge, setting Scotstoun alight. And for Racing? The visitors managed a few consolatory scores in the form of Vinaya Habosi, Lee-Marvin Mazibuko, and Tristan Tedder, but the French outfit looked overwhelmed throughout.
