Sean Jansen's Last-Minute Try Shocks Glasgow as Connacht Claims 15-10 Victory

Glasgow Warriors faced a surprising setback as they lost 15-10 to Connacht at Dexcom Stadium, missing the opportunity to extend their lead in the United Rugby Championship. The Scottish team aimed to widen their margin at the top following Leinster's defeat by Cardiff but suffered their first loss in ten matches. The match began with a low-scoring first half, where both teams exerted intense pressure, resulting in only one score: a penalty from Sam Gilbert, giving Connacht a narrow 3-0 lead at halftime. In the second half, the game shifted dramatically: Joe Joyce of Connacht received a yellow card for a high tackle on Ben Afshar. Kyle Rowe, the Scotland wing, scored the first try of the match on the hour mark, putting Glasgow ahead 5-3 after Adam Hastings missed the conversion. Connacht responded with a try from Josh Murphy, leveling the score at 10-10. As the match approached its conclusion, Sean Jansen stunned the URC leaders with a last-gasp try, sealing a crucial victory for Connacht, who now sit ninth in the standings with four wins this season. Glasgow remains four points clear of Leinster, but this defeat marks a significant turning point in their campaign.
