Glasgow<\/a> Warriors delivered a statement performance at Scotstoun on Saturday night, but Leinster<\/a> left with more than just scoreboard damage after Springbok lock RG Snyman<\/a> was forced off during the second half of their 38-17 defeat.<\/p>\n The towering South African endured an injury-disrupted few years playing for former club Munster, but has had a relatively smooth running in that regard since signing for Leinster.<\/p>\n The 6\u20199 lock exited in the 52nd minute following a heavy collision with Glasgow\u2019s Alex Samuel. While he was able to walk from the field, Snyman appeared in visible discomfort; an unwelcome sight for both Leinster and the Springbok management.<\/p>\n Snyman\u2019s departure added to a grim afternoon for the visitors, whose discipline faltered badly as Glasgow raced out of sight before half-time. By the break, Leinster had already spent long stretches down to 14, and then 13\u00a0 players, with yellow cards to Brian Deeny<\/a> and R\u00f3nan Kelleher opening the door for Glasgow to cut loose.<\/p>\n For Glasgow, it was a victory that reinforced their status at the top of the United Rugby Championship<\/a> table.<\/p>\n They outscored Leinster six tries to three, with a blistering opening 40 minutes laying the foundation for a comprehensive result. Tries from Macenzzie Duncan<\/a>, Gregor Hiddleston<\/a>, George Horne<\/a> and Kyle Rowe<\/a> powered Franco Smith\u2019s men to a commanding 26-5 lead at half-time.<\/p>\n Leinster had struck first through Joshua Kenny<\/a> after a Rieko Ioane<\/a> interception sparked a length-of-the-field counterattack, but the visitors\u2019 early promise was undone by their own discipline.<\/p>\n Once Glasgow had numerical advantage, they made it count ruthlessly.<\/p>\n A brief lifeline arrived late in the first half when Hugo Keenan<\/a> crossed, narrowing the margin to 26-12 at the interval, but Glasgow resumed control after the break. Their defensive resilience kept Leinster out during a crucial early period, including a superb hold-up over the line, before Ollie Smith<\/a> muscled over to restore clear daylight.<\/p>\n Snyman\u2019s injury came as Leinster were attempting to claw their way back into the contest. The Bok lock had been central to Leinster\u2019s burgeoning attempts at a fightback, but his enforced withdrawal only compounded a day where little went right for Leo Cullen\u2019s men.<\/p>\n Ciar\u00e1n Frawley added a consolation try, but Glasgow closed out the scoring through Horne, whose second of the evening marked the scrumhalf\u2019s 66th for the club.<\/p>\n While the result keeps Glasgow firmly at the summit, Leinster remain fourth, level on points with the Stormers, who play the Dragons on Sunday.<\/p>\n Leinster will issue a medical report on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"mens united-rugby-championship RG Snyman of Leinster before the United Rugby Championship match between Leinster and Edinburgh at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":557189,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-557188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557188","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=557188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/557189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
