Glasgow Warriors captain Kyle Steyn says his side will relish the challenge presented by three-times European champions Saracens as they look to continue their stunning form in the Champions Cup.<\/b><\/p>\n
Steyn scored two tries as Warriors recorded their third straight bonus-point victory in this season’s competition to book their place in the knockout stages.<\/p>\n
“We’ve just got a really good group that’s been together for a number of years now and just really keen to play for each other,” Steyn told Premier Sports.<\/p>\n
“The atmosphere was unbelievable and just really enjoyed it.”<\/p>\n
Warriors raced into a 26-7 lead but had to survive a second-half fightback after Patrick Schickerling and George Horne were sent to the sin bin.<\/p>\n
Steyn’s second try settled the nerves as Franco Smith’s side ultimately emerged 33-21 winners.<\/p>\n
“We were obviously very nervous (in the second half) and you don’t want that, but we had a clear plan of what we had to do if something like that (two yellow cards) happened. <\/p>\n
“Really proud of our forwards the way they stepped up in that 10 minutes. 14 points we leaked in that 10 minutes but it was okay.”<\/p>\n
A win over Saracens at Scotstoun next Sunday would see Glasgow top Pool 1 and secure a home tie in the Round of 16.<\/p>\n
“Saracens are a really good outfit, they thrive in their rugby in Europe,” Steyn said. <\/p>\n
“It will be a good challenge and looking forward to playing them in front of our fans.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glasgow Warriors captain Kyle Steyn says his side will relish the challenge presented by three-times European champions Saracens…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-688539","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115875576789464584","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688539","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=688539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
