At Scotstoun Stadium, Glasgow achieved a decisive 47-10 victory over Zebre. This outcome saw Duncan Weir register a try in his last match for the team, propelling them to second place in the United Rugby Championship standings.
The Warriors established their lead in the 13th minute after Stafford McDowall received possession from a maul subsequent to a line-out and scored. Following this, full-back Ollie Smith broke away to score beneath the uprights, with Adam Hastings successfully converting both scores.
Zebre, who had endured six consecutive URC defeats after an initial two-game winning streak, scored their first points in the 23rd minute as Giulio Bertaccini made a clear break. However, Martin Roger Farias’s subsequent conversion attempt expired just as he prepared to strike the ball.
Glasgow, seeking a fifth consecutive victory across all competitions, increased their advantage to 19-5 when Seb Stephen was pushed over the line shortly before the interval. This play resulted in Zebre flanker Davide Ruggeri being issued a yellow card.
Giovanni Quattrini, a substitute for Zebre, narrowed the point difference early in the second half shortly after entering the game. Nevertheless, as the 60-minute mark neared, Jamie Dobie sprinted to gather a chipped kick from Duncan Munn in the corner, thereby sealing Glasgow’s bonus-point try.
Ben Afshar, Glasgow’s scrum-half, had his try disallowed by the Television Match Official because he was deemed to have been taken into touch while diving for the try line. Subsequently, Gregor Hiddleston was propelled over the line from a rolling maul with six minutes remaining. A concluding try from former Scotland fly-half Weir, who entered as a substitute for his final appearance and also added three conversions, alongside Dobie’s additional breakaway score, concluded a thoroughly commanding performance.
