00:00Hello, it's Graeme Bean from the Scotsman at Scotstoun Stadium, where Glasgow Warriors
00:05have just beaten the Sails Sharks 38 points to 19 in the opening match of the
00:11Investec Champions Cup. It was a highly impressive win for Glasgow, particularly
00:15in the first half. The star of the game was George Horne, who scored a first-half
00:20hat-trick. He also got yellow carded in the first 40 minutes and took three
00:25conversions. It was a busy night for the Scotland man. Glasgow's three other
00:29tries came from Kyle Rowe, Hugh Jones and Scott Cummings. Five of the tries came in the first half
00:36as Glasgow really dominated. Sail hung in there but they just couldn't live
00:41with the Glasgow's pace and attacking prowess. They scored three tries
00:45themselves. They got a penalty try, one from Scotland winger Aaron Reid and one from their full-back
00:50Joe Carpenter. Glasgow go France next with a second game in Group 4. They played two long
00:59games in Group 4 next weekend. They round off the group campaign with games against Racing at home in January and then Harlequin's away at the Stoop.
01:11In this form, Glasgow look a good bet to go deep in the competition. They've never before been
01:15past the quarter-finals but they look really, really good, particularly on attack.
01:20They had two yellow cards tonight. They had Horne in the first half and also Angus
01:24Fraser right at the death for a head-on collision. But I mean there were minor
01:28blemishes and I'm sure Francois Smith will be absolutely delighted with the
01:33performance and we'll just go down to speak to him now.
01:36Final score, Glasgow 38, Sail 19.
