Glasgow<\/a> swept past Zebre<\/a> 47-10 at Scotstoun Stadium, with Duncan Weir<\/a> scoring a late try on his final appearance for the club, to move up to second in the United Rugby Championship<\/a> table.<\/p>\n Warriors went ahead in the 13th minute when Stafford McDowall<\/a> took the ball off a maul following a line-out and darted over, before full-back Ollie Smith<\/a> burst through to touch down under the posts, with Adam Hastings<\/a> adding the extras on both occasions.<\/p>\n Zebre \u2013 who had lost their previous six URC games after opening with successive wins \u2013 got on the board in the 23rd minute when Giulio Bertaccini<\/a> broke clear, but Martin Roger<\/a> Farias then saw his conversion attempt timed out just as he went to kick.<\/p>\n Glasgow \u2013 aiming for a fifth straight win in all competitions \u2013 extended their lead to 19-5 after Seb Stephen<\/a> was driven over just before half-time, with Zebre flanker Davide Ruggeri<\/a> shown a yellow card in the aftermath.<\/p>\n Zebre replacement Giovanni Quattrini<\/a> reduced the deficit early in the second half soon after coming on but as the hour mark approached, Jamie Dobie<\/a> sprinted to collect a chipped kick through from Duncan Munn<\/a> into the corner and secure Glasgow\u2019s bonus-point try.<\/p>\n Glasgow scrum-half Ben Afshar<\/a> saw his try ruled out by the TMO for being taken into touch as he dived for the line. Gregor Hiddleston<\/a> was then driven over from a rolling maul with six minutes left before a late try from former Scotland<\/a> fly-half Weir, who had came off the bench for his farewell and also kicked three conversions, and Dobie\u2019s breakaway score completed another dominant display.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"mens united-rugby-championship Duncan Weir of Glasgow Warriors arrives at the stadium prior to the Investec Champions Cup match…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-391131","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-rugby","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
