'We're still over the moon & shocked'

Having returned home from Pretoria with the URC trophy in hand, Glasgow Warriors have been enjoying the celebrations with their fans.

A 4,500-strong crowd turned out at Scotstoun on Tuesday night to welcome home their champions and some of the players spoke to BBC Scotland's Rugby Podcast about how much it means to them.

Matt Fagerson: "I've been here nine years, you see the murals on the wall of the 2015 season and to be part of that legacy is priceless."

Richie Gray: "I grew up playing with wee Duncan Weir and then the Fagersons [Matt and Zander] came a wee bit later but I know them well and all the new guys, Sione [Tuipulotu], Jack Dempsey, Josh McKay, they've all just bought into what it's all about and it's been great.

"Doing it with your pals, doing it at your hometown club, doesn't get better than that."

Duncan Weir: "The boys' physical effort over the last three weeks in these play-offs, how we've had a real controlling performance as well has been great.

"The pack have been ferocious and so physical, credit goes to them. I don't know another tight-head in world rugby that could go three 80-minute performances in play-off games and then play as well as he did in the final 10 minutes than Zander [Fagerson]."

Sione Tuipulotu: "I just thought we needed to buck the trend of Scottish teams failing at the last hurdle and that's probably what I'm most proud of - we had to do it the hard way.

"Thomond [Park] away, Loftus away and every week there was different guys putting their hand up. I'm proud we could buck the trend and this group gets to share that special thing."

George Horne: "I don't think anyone really gave us a chance. It was just an unbelievable three weeks in terms of the performances the boys put in and the belief in the squad. We're still over the moon and shocked."

Managing director and former captain Al Kellock: "It doesn't just happen in 80 minutes. It happens over the whole season, it happens for years before that.

"There's so many people connected to it, a huge effort went in and then the boys delivered unbelievably well and in a very difficult place to go and win."
