- Glasgow Warriors beat Connacht 33‑21 in the United Rugby Championship quarter‑final at Scotstoun.
- Kyle Steyn scored two tries and made a crucial defensive tackle that stopped a Connacht scoring chance in the first half.
- Connacht recorded three tries (Prendergast, Heffernan, Bealham) but missed several conversions, including the one after Steyn’s second try.
- Glasgow Warriors will meet either the Bulls or Munster in the semi‑final at Murrayfield next Saturday, with the same venue slated for the final if they advance.
Why it matters: Glasgow Warriors move to the URC semi‑final, keeping their title hopes alive, while Connacht are eliminated; the Murrayfield semi‑final gives Glasgow a home‑ground platform and a possible venue for the final.
