Glasgow Warriors secure a spot in the Investec Champions Cup's last 16 with a dominant bonus-point victory over Clermont Auvergne. Euan Ferrie, Huw Jones, Kyle Steyn, and Jack Dempsey's tries in the first half set a strong foundation, with George Moala's try being Clermont's lone response. The hosts fought back with a penalty try and a try by Irae Simone, but Steyn's second try sealed Glasgow's bonus-point win. The Warriors now host Saracens at Scotstoun, aiming for top spot in Pool 1, while Clermont faces Sharks in Durban, seeking their first points. Jones, returning from injury, showcased his trademark speed and skill, breaking Clermont's defense early on. Glasgow's lead was extended by clever kicks and tries from Jones and Kyle Rowe, but Clermont's Moala scored a try, sparking a comeback attempt. However, Glasgow's dominance continued with tries from Dempsey and Steyn, until a yellow card for cynical play threatened their lead. Clermont's counter-attack, finished by Simone, reduced the deficit to five points. Despite a late push from Clermont, Glasgow's defense held firm, and a try by Max Williamson sealed their victory. The Warriors' memorable Champions Cup campaign continues, with a statement win over a determined Clermont side.
