Glasgow get bonus-point win at emotion-filled Sale

Glasgow Warriors pull away to record an impressive bonus-point victory over Sale Sharks in the Investec Champions Cup at an emotional CorpAcq Stadium. Tries: Penalty try, Steyn, Dobie, Craig, Darge, Smith, Tuipulotu Cons: Horne 4, Lancaster Glasgow Warriors pulled away to record an impressive bonus-point victory over Sale Sharks in the Investec Champions Cup at an emotional CorpAcq Stadium. Pre-match tears were shed on the pitch and in the stands during a minute's silence in memory of former Sale lock Hyron Andrews, who died on Friday at the Johannesburg Lions' team hotel ahead of their Champions Cup match at La Rochelle. The 31-year-old played regularly for Sale last season, and his former side started positively as they sought a memorable performance.
Ben Curry peeled off a maul and sprinted through, much to Glasgow's surprise, before Arron Reed crossed out wide after some sharp handling. However, a penalty try for a maul infringement sent Gus Warr to the sin-bin, before Tom Roebuck joined him after tripping Warriors captain Kyle Steyn. After Rory Darge spilled the ball with a try beckoning, Glasgow finally took advantage as Steyn raced down the wing to score. A wonderful finish by Scotland's Jamie Dobie regained the visitors' lead after George Ford's penalty had put Sale back ahead. Considered one of the favourites to win the tournament
