Glasgow Warriors have beaten Connacht 36-19 in an URC clash at Scotstoun, securing a bonus-point win. The home side built a lead with multiple driving mauls and late precision from Dan Lancaster, with Hiddleston, Darge, Stephen and McKay among the try-scorers. Connacht pressed in the second half but Glasgow held firm, moving to 13 points from three games.
Northern Ireland midfielder Shea Charles has joined Fulham for £30m, becoming the country’s most expensive player. Former international Stuart Dallas backs Charles and teammate Ethan Galbraith for Premier League success, while NI boss Michael O’Neill has built the side around him.
