Glasgow Warriors 42-10 Benetton: What the head coach said

Glasgow head coach Franco Smith told Premier Sports:

"We never talked much about the loss last week. A lot of the players had their first outing in contact environment so we took a lot of heart from the performance.

"Tonight we asked for progression and in most areas we saw that. It was an important step for us.

"It's the start of the season, little timing errors [at the lineout]. We'll have a look at adjusting, but I'm not disappointed with that. We missed opportunities, but I'm still happy with the general performance.

"This first block before the Autumn Test series is going to be important to find feet. We will take lessons from tonight; I'm happy with the win."
