\n Glasgow Warriors fought from 14-0 behind to win at Sale Sharks in the Champions Cup’s opening round <\/p>\n

Glasgow stormed back from a 14-point deficit to open their Champions Cup campaign with a 26-21 victory at Sale Sharks.<\/p>\n

Sale dominated the opening quarter in difficult conditions and led through tries from Ernst van Rhyn and replacement Ollie Davies, while Rob Du Preez added two conversions.<\/p>\n

But the Warriors reduced the gap to 14-12 by the break as Gregor Hiddleston and Rory Darge rewarded Scottish forward power and Adam Hastings landed a conversion.<\/p>\n

Glasgow struck again within two minutes of the restart as Kyle Steyn collected a poor box kick to slice through, with Hastings adding the extras.<\/p>\n

The visitors soon bagged a bonus point try as Stafford McDowall flew in off the right for a score that Hastings again maximised.<\/p>\n

Sale set up a grandstand finish as Marius Louw powered over by the posts for a try that Du Preez converted, but Glasgow held on for an impressive away victory.<\/p>\n

Bayonne 17-26 Stormers<\/p>\n

In the night’s second clash, South Africa’s Stormers registered an impressive 26-17 victory over Top 14 side Bayonne in France despite a 20-minute red card to Adre Smith.<\/p>\n

Scrum-half Imad Khan and Paul de Villiers scored tries for the Stormers – the second with Bayonne down to 13 players due to two sin-binnings.<\/p>\n

Though the hosts scored three tries through Federico Mori, Arnaud Erbinartegaray and Lucas Paulos, Stormers fly-half Clinton Swart kicked four penalties in the contest, which proved the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Opening weekend of Champions Cup 2025\/26 pool stages sees two away victories on Friday; Glasgow Warriors fight from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":615085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[191815,5012,28230,748,78665,191816,191817,191818,1102,28232,918,4884,191668,15458,4306,257,12760,12,11952,15032,28229,6922,1071,14236,4151,12070,15033,712,197,79,2385,191819,16,7913,7922,15,28226],"class_list":{"0":"post-615503","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-airon","9":"tag-bath","10":"tag-biarritz","11":"tag-britain","12":"tag-cardiff-blues","13":"tag-castres","14":"tag-clearmont","15":"tag-dragos","16":"tag-edinburgh","17":"tag-fixtures","18":"tag-glasgow","19":"tag-great-britain","20":"tag-investec-champions-cup","21":"tag-irish","22":"tag-leinster","23":"tag-london","24":"tag-munster","25":"tag-news","26":"tag-northampton","27":"tag-ospreys","28":"tag-perpignan","29":"tag-photos","30":"tag-racing","31":"tag-results","32":"tag-rugby","33":"tag-saracens","34":"tag-scarlets","35":"tag-scotland","36":"tag-sky","37":"tag-sports","38":"tag-toulouse","39":"tag-treviso","40":"tag-uk","41":"tag-ulster","42":"tag-union","43":"tag-united-kingdom","44":"tag-wasps"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115671565488479812","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/615085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
