Glasgow 22-19 Connacht: What Smith said

Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith tells BBC Scotland: "A bunch of young players got their first run tonight and they stepped up to the plate when it was needed most. I'm so glad to see how they are progressing.

"To handle the pressure that comes with winning at home and the conditions is heartwarming.

"[Henco Venter] is very undervalued. He's been immense for us. He was the example of a senior pro tonight, to get the other guys to keep believing.

"The challenge tonight was not different to going to beat Munster in Limerick. To still get the job done is testament to the effort of the boys.

"We have to keep working hard every week at improving. We are still a long way from the product we need to roll out to progress."
