Glasgow Warriors kicked off their Champions Cup campaign with a 47-27 victory against Sale Sharks in Pool 1, maintaining their unbeaten start to the new season. The match showcased a dramatic turnaround, as Glasgow only pulled ahead in the final 20 minutes after Rekeiti Ma’asi-White had reduced Sale's deficit to four points.

Sale began strongly, scoring two early tries from Ben Curry and Arron Reed, establishing a 12-point lead within the first ten minutes. However, Glasgow responded with a penalty try and additional scores from Kyle Steyn and Jamie Dobie, heading into halftime with a 21-15 advantage.

The game remained tightly contested until late tries from Rory Darge, Ollie Smith, and debutant Otavio Tuipulotu allowed Glasgow to secure a convincing victory and a valuable bonus point.

Looking ahead, Glasgow will host Pau in their next Champions Cup match, while Sale faces a challenging trip to Leinster in mid-December.
