Glasgow Warriors claim top spot in United Rugby Championship table after bonus-point win over Zebre. The Scottish team edged past Parma-based side, Zebre 26-21 in a hard-fought contest that showcased the dominance of Glasgow's forward pack.
The visitors went into the lead midway through the first half with Franco Carrera scoring their only try before Glasgow responded with a penalty try to take an 8-point advantage. Their prop, Gregor Hiddleston, then scored twice from lineout mauls at the start of the second half to extend their lead to 14 points.
However, Zebre continued to fight back after the break and narrowed the deficit when Giulio Bertaccini touched down under the posts. The hosts were dealt a further blow when Adam Hastings was sin-binned for a reckless tackle but Glasgow took full advantage when he returned from the bin to score a bonus-point try in the corner.
Despite a late scare when Lorenzo Pani intercepted a loose ball, Glasgow controlled the remainder of the game and emerged victorious in what was a scrappy contest that saw both teams play periods without their full contingent due to yellow cards. The win marked an eighth consecutive victory for Glasgow Warriors, who now sit top of the league table by three points from Stormers, having played a game more.

but glasgow just dominated in the end! their forward pack was on fire 
i mean, 2 lineout mauls for gregor hiddleston? that's some serious skill 
and adam hastings' try from the bin was a game-changer 
zebre had some good moments too but overall glasgow came out on top 
now they're at the top of the table, let's see how they hold it 
Glasgow Warriors are on fire right now!! They really showed off their forward pack skills in that match against Zebre 
and I'm loving the way they're dominating the competition 
he's literally unstoppable! 
anywayz, glad to see Glasgow Warriors at the top spot for now 
and they're playing this crazy sport called "United Rugby Championship". So Glasgow Warriors won against Zebre 26-21? That's like, who cares about the score when you have two props running into each other with a big ball and scoring tries? 
Anyway I think it's cool that they got to play with a full team and not have anyone get too many yellow cards. Can someone explain why all these guys wear those funny pads on their legs though? 
. Anyway, back to the Warriors... I mean, who doesn't love a good bonus-point win? It was such an intense game and I loved how Glasgow's forward pack just dominated Zebre ⓿ⓞⓢⓔⓝ! Gregor Hiddleston is like a Scottish legend at this point 
, but he also scored that sick bonus-point try in the corner. Worth it, I suppose.
. The fact that they kept it together despite some yellow cards and late scares is just a testament to their teamwork and determination 
. Now, I'm curious to see how the Stormers will react to this new top spot...
it's like they say "you can't keep a good man down" but in this case its more like you cant keep a good prop down 
adam hasting is literally my new hero 
three points from the top spot isn't bad at all 
and I'm loving how Glasgow's forward pack totally dominated 
scoring two tries from lineout mauls is insane! 
they really took advantage of Adam Hastings' sin bin and bonus point try in the corner 
it's not just about winning, but how they controlled the game despite some yellow cards 
and a late scare 
Either way, it's been a thrilling ride so far! 
that bonus-point try from Hastings was SO clutch!!! 
and Gregor Hiddleston's 2 lineout mauls were insane 
. And can we talk about Zebre's fight back for a sec?! 
meanwhile Adam Hastings got sin binned but his return try sealed the win for them 
now they're top of the league table, gotta see how the rest of the season plays out 
! With 8 wins in a row, they're looking unstoppable 
Gregor Hiddleston is like a lineout wizard 
️, what can Zebre do against him?!
