Win over Scarlets could be 'defining moment' in Warriors season

Was Fridays game a defining moment in Glasgow's season? It really could be!

A 17-15 victory at home, five days after Scotland's victory over Australia and minus a whole host of frontline options, whether through injuries or rest, shows the depth the Warriors have. A 23-player squad containing three debutants, four hookers and Jack Mann - who had not featured since December 2022 due to injuries.

Error strewn throughout and lacking that killer instinct, you have to marvel at the 'next man up' mentality the Warriors continue to show. The delight of even the senior players at full-time shows the importance of this win in the long term.

Now onto the Champions Cup and Europe's elite, with Sale Sharks first up, boasting the likes of England stalwarts Luke Cowan-Dickie and the Curry brothers. With internationals coming back plus the possibility of a few injured players near ready it has the prospect to be an exciting game and one the Warriors will be favourites for at home.

A busy festive schedule for sure with back-to-back European games before the Christmas URC clashes with Edinburgh.
