'Our biggest achievement so far': Glasgow rank cup win over Exeter as the best

By PA
Glasgow Warriors v Exeter Chiefs – Heineken Champions Cup – Group A – Scotstoun Stadium

Glasgow head coach Danny Wilson was delighted with the way his players performed in their 22-7 Champions Cup victory over Exeter but promised that the team has still not reached its full potential.

Johnny Matthews crossed over for a late try – converted by Duncan Weir – after five penalties from Ross Thompson, while the Chiefs replied through a Sam Simmonds score as Joe Simmonds added the extras.

“To win against a fully-loaded Exeter side in the manner we did stands as my proudest moment and as a group, our biggest achievement so far,” he said.

“But there’s a lot more to come. We need to get more consistent and do what we did tonight on demand.

“We have to play to our identity which is to play fast, but we also have to be able to be pragmatic.

“I’m really proud of the performance with the short turnaround.

“With the physicality of that game in France (against La Rochelle), to come back six days later and show even more physicality for long periods of this game was outstanding.

“This time last year our competition was a disaster so to get a bonus point away and a win today is massive.

“We had so many opportunities that we didn’t finish, such as that driving lineout at the end of the first half. But we showed real character when it got to 12-7 and we went down the other end and scored a driving line-out and finished the game off.

“So I’m really pleased that we won that game comfortably and were pretty dominant – but there was more we could have done.”

Meanwhile, Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter said he had no complaints about the result.

“Games in the Heineken Cup are tough, they challenge you in different ways and I thought we did well to stay in the fight for large parts of the game – but that’s what it felt like, that we were fighting to stick in there,” he said.

“The stats will show that we just could not keep hold of the ball. We lost it in a variety of ways, some of it very easily and some of it down to good play by Glasgow.

“It feels like today is a little bit of a blip on what I hope is still an upward curve.

“We’re a long way from dead in this competition, we’re a long way from dead in the Premiership, there is still a lot of exciting rugby left for us to play and that’s what we have to get on with.

“We’ve got our break week now which is probably the right time for us, then we go into our home game against Bristol, which will be a challenge for us.

“But our new stadium will be open and there will be a lot of reasons for us to be fresh and enthusiastic for that fixture.”

Can Rugby Australia afford to go ‘all in’ on the Queensland Reds?

Losing money is never easy, but losing it in a high-stakes investment hits differently. I learned this firsthand after falling victim to what seemed like a promising staking pool.

It had a sleek interface, positive user reviews, and an active community that vouched for its credibility. I felt confident I had found a reliable investment. But just weeks after staking my funds, whispers of vulnerabilities in the system started to surface. Still, I ignored the signs, trusting that the project was secure.That trust was shattered. A hacker exploited a weakness in the system’s contract, and in a matter of moments, my entire investment vanished. I was devastated.
