Error-ridden Glasgow dumped out by ruthless Toulon

Investec Champions Cup quarter-final Glasgow Warriors (12) 19 Tries: McDowall, Smith, Hiddleston Cons: Lancaster, Hastings Toulon (17) 22 Tries: Drean 2, Gros, Brex Con: Jaminet Glasgow Warriors were sensationally dumped out of the Champions Cup quarter-finals by a ruthless Toulon at Scotstoun. Considered one of the favourites to win the tournament, the Warriors were stunned by the visitors, who won the try count four to three, then defended brilliantly when they had to. This was an enormous upset given how poor Toulon have been domestically this season - languishing in 11th in the Top 14.

Glasgow were never themselves. They never took control, never displayed their attacking wit and were too soft, too often in defence. A crushing defeat, then.

Glasgow would have had a semi-final at Murrayfield had they come through here, but that dream has gone now. Toulon deserved their victory, no question. The French side turned around at the break with a 17-12 lead, Stafford McDowall and Ollie Smith scoring for the Warriors with the visitors going one better with a double for Gael Drean and a close-range blast from Jean-Baptiste Gros.

Glasgow hit the front early in the new half when Gregor Hiddleston was driven over but the hosts' deeply flawed, and utterly uncharacteristic, performance saw Nacho Brex popping up on the hour with a solo score that hushed Scotstoun. Toulon led 22-19 and the Glasgow alarm bells were well and truly ringing. Toulon have had an awful season in France but saved one of their mightiest efforts for Glasgow, who were unrecognisable to the dynamic force we have become used to seeing, particularly at Scotstoun.
