Glasgow Warriors' Triumphant Victory over Leicester Tigers Sets Up Leinster Showdown

Glasgow Warriors scored six tries to defeat Leicester Tigers and advance to face Leinster.

Glasgow Warriors delivered an outstanding performance in the Investec Champions Cup last 16. Olly Cracknell gave Tigers an early lead. But Glasgow responded strongly with tries from Henco Venter and Sione Vailanu to lead at the break. Vailanu scored his second early in the second half. Adam Hastings and George Horne also contributed tries. Solomone Kata and Hanro Liebenberg scored for the visitors, but it wasn't enough. Glasgow powered into the last eight and now faces a tough test against Leinster. Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith is excited but aware of the challenge.
