Glasgow Warriors 29-19 Racing 92: What Smith said

Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith: "We obviously want to improve, it's early in the year.

"It's the Christmas period, and sometimes when you're not in the building for a week, some things will give.

"The first hour, I was happy with. The boys stuck to script. There was good positive steps. Some frustration from the Edinburgh loss helped.

"We need to kick on. We need put on an 80-minute performance, like we used to do. It is there, one or two games that will allow us to be ourselves up until the end.

"Sione Tuipulotu plays well. The reason he's walking away with the man of the match medal so often is because he plays well. He's in a good space. His contribution is massively appreciated.

"It's Champions Cup, it's quality teams. They brought on a lot of experience and energy from their bench and they did what was asked.

"Our yellow card was unneccesary. We defended well enough to not give that away and that led to a couple of tries that we've leaked. Enough to work on but excited we've made progress.

"We fell two minutes short [against Harlequins last season]. We regroup, have a look on Monday. We've got a plan to go there and see how we can progress from tonight."
