Glasgow Warriors pulled clear of Sale Sharks to claim a bonus-point Champions Cup win on an emotionally charged occasion at CorpAcq Stadium.
Glasgow Warriors made a statement in the Investec Champions Cup, pulling away from Sale Sharks to take a bonus-point victory at an emotion-filled CorpAcq Stadium.
The atmosphere carried real weight, but Glasgow kept their composure and found the gears needed to separate themselves from the home side as the contest developed. Once they got ahead, they kept the pressure on and did not let Sale back into the game.
The bonus point is a big part of the story. In this competition it is earned by scoring four or more tries, and it can matter a great deal when the pool standings tighten. Glasgow leave with more than a win, banking extra reward for the way they attacked.
For Sale, it is a tough result to take in front of their own fans, and they will need to regroup quickly. Glasgow, meanwhile, head onward with momentum and a performance that shows they can handle a difficult away environment in Europe.
