In an emotional matchup at the Investec Champions Cup, the Glasgow Warriors triumphed over the Sale Sharks with a score of 47-27, securing a crucial bonus-point victory at the CorpAcq Stadium.

Prior to the game, players and fans honored the memory of former Sale lock Hyron Andrews, who tragically passed away just days before the match. The atmosphere was charged as both teams aimed to deliver a strong performance in his honor.

The match began positively for Sale, with Ben Curry breaking through for an early try, followed by Arron Reed adding another after impressive teamwork. However, Glasgow responded swiftly. A penalty try awarded for a maul infringement led to Gus Warr being sin-binned, allowing Kyle Steyn to score for the Warriors after a series of missed opportunities.

The back-and-forth continued as Jamie Dobie regained the lead for Glasgow, showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite Sale's tenacity, with tries from Alex Craig and Rekeiti Ma'asi-White, Glasgow's relentless offense proved too much.

Key moments included:

• Ollie Smith and Ottavio Tuipulotu sealing the win with late tries, ensuring Glasgow's bonus point under the new tournament rules.
• George Ford contributed significantly for Sale, converting two tries and adding a penalty.

As the tournament progresses, Glasgow looks poised for a deep run, while Sale aims to regroup ahead of their next fixture against Leinster in December.
