Glasgow secure Champions Cup spot with bonus-point win over Clermont Auvergne

In a thrilling contest, Glasgow Warriors secured their place in the last 16 of the Investec Champions Cup with a bonus-point victory over Clermont Auvergne. The Scottish side dominated the first half, scoring four tries through Euan Ferrie, Huw Jones, Kyle Steyn, and Jack Dempsey to build a 26-7 lead at the break.

However, Clermont showed signs of life in the second half, with George Moala crossing for their sole try. The French side also managed to score two penalties, narrowing the gap to five points. Despite being down to 13 men due to yellow cards for Patrick Schikerling and George Horne, Glasgow navigated the numerical disadvantage well.

In a dramatic finale, Glasgow scored a crucial penalty try and then Steyn sealed the win with a second try in the corner, as Clermont threw everything at them in the final minutes but ultimately fell short. The bonus-point win marked Glasgow's third consecutive victory from three pool stage games, ensuring their spot in the last 16 of the competition.

With a win over Saracens next weekend, Glasgow will secure top spot in Pool 1, while Clermont face Sharks in Durban seeking their first points in the competition.
 
🏉️💪 I'm loving how these teams are giving it their all this season! The way Glasgow outplayed Clermont was just incredible. They really showed their skills with those four tries at the start of the game 🤯. And 13 men down, but still they managed to come out on top? That's some serious grit and determination 💪🏽.

I'm also stoked that Glasgow is heading into next week's win against Saracens with such momentum! They're gonna take home that top spot in Pool 1 for sure 🎉. And I feel bad for Clermont, they gave it a good go, but just couldn't quite catch up 🤔.

It's games like these that remind me why I love rugby so much - the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat... all in one exciting package 😄!
 
🏉👍 just watched this match and gotta say, what a game! 😲 Glasgow was on fire in the first half, but I was worried when Clermont came back strong in the second. 🤔 But our boys showed some serious grit & determination to hold off that comeback 🙌. Now, if they keep playing like this, top spot in Pool 1 is all but done 💪. And can't wait for next week's match against Saracens, should be a real battle 🔥. 😃
 
Omg what a game! 🤯 Glasgow totally deserved that win 😎 They came out so strong in the 1st half & really showed off their skills 👏 Euan Ferrie's tries were insane!!! 💥 And Steyn's 2nd try was like, wow!! 😲 I'm loving how they played with numbers down too 🤓 Shows they're a team that can adapt on the fly. Now let's hope Saracens don't give them too much trouble next week lol 😜
 
OMG you guys 🤯 Glasgow just smashed it at the Champions Cup! I'm low-key impressed with how they handled that last half when they were down to 13 men 😅. Their defense was on point and Steyn's second try was pure GOLD 💛. Now, let's see how Clermont bounce back from this loss 🤔. Saracens next? Bring it on! Glasgow's gonna take the top spot in Pool 1 for sure 👑. #ChampionsCup #GlasgowWarriors #BonusPointWin
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole idea of 'success' 🤯. On one hand, you've got these guys, the Glasgow Warriors, crushing it on the rugby pitch and securing a spot in the next round. It's like they're living their dream, right? But then I start thinking about the fact that they had to navigate being down to 13 men for part of the game... that's just plain brutal 🤕. And what does that say about our society when we're more interested in winning at all costs than looking out for each other? Meanwhile, Clermont Auvergne was given a 'life' by their fans and the refs, even when it seemed like they were just trying to make a comeback out of desperation... is that really fair? 💔
 
just watched that match 🏉💪 and i'm so hyped for glasgow! they really showed off their skills out there 💥, especially with all those tries 🤯. but what's crazy is how well they handled being down to 13 men 🤕. i mean, you'd think it'd be a disaster, but they just kept pushing forward 💪. and that final penalty try was clutch 🙌! can't wait for the next match against saracens 👊
 
lol they're basically done for - I mean, who needs that many bonus points anyway? it's so over the top 🤣 and I'm not even a rugby fan... but come on, how hard can it be to win when you're up by 19 points at halftime? Glasgow just phoned it in 😴. and don't even get me started on the penalties - 2 vs 4 is still 2 more tries 🤦‍♂️. I guess Clermont showed some spirit, but that's about it...
 
I'm loving that Glasgow secured their spot in the Champions Cup, but I'm still getting used to all those tries and penalties... like, how many scrums did they have? 🤯 And seriously, 13 men on the field for Clermont is crazy, how did they even function? But Glasgow's resilience is amazing, they really navigated that tricky situation well. And that bonus-point win is huge, it's gonna be tough for Saracens next week but I'm sure they'll come out on top. 🏉👍
 
🤩 just watched that game with my mates and I'm still hyped! Glasgow played so well, especially those tries from Euan Ferrie and Kyle Steyn 🤯 they were unstoppable on the pitch 💪 and Clermont gave them a run for their money 🤓 didn't think they'd come back from 26-7 down but they showed some serious spirit 😊 I'm loving this Champions Cup so far, can't wait to see more of the action! ⚽️
 
I'm not sure what's up with rugby teams these days... they can't even take care of themselves 😂! I mean, come on, Clermont gets a yellow card and still manages to put up a good fight? And then Glasgow just takes advantage of it and scores like it's going out of style. But hey, at the end of the day, that's what makes rugby so exciting right? The drama, the suspense... it's all part of the fun! 🏉👍
 
OMG GUYS!!!!!!! 🤩 GLASGOW WENT AND GRABBED THAT BONUS POINT WIN OVER CLEMENT AUVERNE 💪🏽💥 IT WAS SUCH A THRILLER OF A MATCH!!!!! THE SCOTTISH BOYS DOMINATED IN THE FIRST HALF WITH THOSE 4 TRIES AND JUST COULDN'T BE STOPPED AFTER THAT 🤯 THEN CLERMONT CAME AT THEM HARD BUT GLASGOW STEPPED UP AND GRABBED THAT WIN 👏🏽🎉
 
🏉 so thats what i was talkin bout! glasgow warriors r on fire right now! they really pulled it through with that bonus point win over clermont auvergne. 26-7 down and then just churning out tries left & right, scoring some penalty tries too? that's a solid response to come back like that. what i wanna know is... do u think glasgow can make it all the way in this thing or are they gonna fall short? 🤔
 
OMG 🤩 Glasgow is killin' it this season! I mean, 4 tries in the 1st half is crazy 🔥! They really showed what they're made of out there on the pitch 💪. And to be honest, Clermont was quite lucky with those penalties 😏. But seriously, Glasgow's defense was on point 🤝 and they played so smart under pressure 🧠. It's gonna be super intense for Saracens next week though 🔥, let's see how that goes down!
 
I'm so stoked for the Glasgow Warriors 🏉💥! They totally deserved that bonus-point win and now they're one step closer to the Champions Cup final 🎉. I mean, Clermont was putting up a good fight, but Glasgow's attack was just too strong 🔪. That Euan Ferrie guy is a beast! 💪 What really impressed me though was how Glasgow handled the yellow cards and still managed to win. It shows they're a well-oiled machine 🤖. Now, Saracens are gonna be a tough opponent next week, but I think Glasgow's on a roll and they'll come out on top 🔮. Who do you think will make it to the final?
 
🏉💪 Glasgow is on fire this season! They're playing some crazy rugby and it's amazing to watch 😎. I mean, four tries in the first half? That's just insane 🤯! Euan Ferrie and Kyle Steyn are like two deadly assassins out there 🔫. And I love how they handled being down a man - that takes skill and experience 💪.

And now they get Saracens next! Should be a good test for them... but if anyone can do it, it's Glasgow 😎. They're on fire and I'm loving every minute of it 🚀! Can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds for them 🤔💥
