Connacht's Season Ends With Quarter-Final Defeat In Glasgow

Connacht were beaten 33-21 by Glasgow Warriors in the URC quarter-finals.

Connacht's season is over after they were beaten 33-21 by Glasgow Warriors in their United Rugby Championship quarter-final.

The Scottish side proved too strong, using their dominance up front to build a lead and secure a place in the semi-finals.

Connacht twice battled back to reduce the deficit to a single score during the second half, but Glasgow responded on each occasion with tries of their own.

The visitors were also hampered by a series of injuries, with Josh Ioane failing a head injury assessment, while Shayne Bolton, Hugh Gavin, and Finlay Bealham were all forced off during the game.

Despite the disappointment of the defeat, Connacht can reflect on a strong finish to the season that secured Champions Cup qualification for next year.
