"Knowing a win would guarantee a top-two seeding for Glasgow, the atmosphere inside Scotstoun was raucous and the home side had their fans off their seats inside 10 minutes. Alex Craig sold a dummy inside his own half and set off on a galloping run. He was halted, but Zander Fagerson took up the baton with a thunderous carry and, when the ball was slung wide, sharp hands put Smith through a gap to score."
"Warriors were well on top and after a brilliant chip-and-chase from George Horne, Juan Martin Gonzalez was shown a yellow card for cynically stopping the attack near his own line. Saracens' tryline defence was heroic, but Glasgow kept banging at the door and a smart inside ball from Horne fed Steyn coming in on a terrific line to slice through and go in under the posts."
Glasgow Warriors defeated Saracens 28-3 to finish the pool stage with four wins and a maximum 20 points. A dazzling first-half display produced a 21-3 lead with tries from Ollie Smith, Kyle Steyn and George Horne and three conversions from Horne. Saracens dominated territory and possession in the second half but could not breach Glasgow's defence. Substitute Seb Stephen scored in the final play to secure the bonus point. Glasgow secured home advantage and a last-16 tie against the Bulls, while Saracens will travel to Bath in the next round.
