Leinster Rugby v Dragons

as they ended the first with another try after
once again some brilliant hands from the
Warriors but a successful captain’s challenge
from the Dragons showed a knock on in the
build-up.
Moments later they did get their try with hooker
Turner powering his way over from the back of
a dominant driving maul, to extend the away
side’s lead. Thompson added the conversion to
give Glasgow a 22-13 lead.
Glasgow thought they secured their bonus
point try with Ali Price crossing after another
neat backline move before the scrum half
sniped from the ruck to get over - but it was
again brought back for crossing in midfield.
A nervy 10 minutes followed with Dragons
desperately needing the next score and
Warriors trying to keep their intensity and
pressure on the home side.
The home side started to up the tempo heading
into the final quarter, but they couldn’t find a
way through the Warriors defence, despite
some heavy and hard carrying.
The boot of Davies brought Dragons within
six points after another penalty making it a
nervous final five minutes for the Warriors.
But Glasgow sealed a well-earned bonus point
win with replacement McDonald putting the
final nail in the coffin for the away side in the
final play of the game.
