Glasgow Warriors shocked the Magners League Leaders Leinster at Hughenden on Friday night – scoring their first win over the Irish Province in five years thanks to tries from Hefin O’Hare, Rory Lamont and Thom Evans.

O’Hare had score an early try to give the home side the lead – although Felipe Contepomi clawed back a penalty for the league leaders before Parks replied with his first penalty after 20 minutes – and Parks had a hand in increasing their lead when chipped ahead for Rory Lamont to pounce.

However just before the interval the Irish had a lifeline when Gordon D’Arcy collected his first score, Contepomi gaoling the conversion. D’Arcy’s second came soon after the restart and Contepomi was again accurate with the kick to open a four point lead for the visitors.
Parks narrowed the gap to a single point with a well struck penalty and repeated the feat to snatch back the lead before Evans scored his sides third try, Parks conversion giving a nine point lead.

A late Contepomi penalty gave Leinster the losing bonus point but it was to little to late as Glasgow held on for the win.
