Glasgow's Champions Cup Hopes Shattered by Toulon in Quarter-Final

The Glasgow Warriors' bid to reach their first-ever Investec Champions Cup semi-final was dashed as they suffered a narrow 22-19 defeat to RC Toulon at Scotstoun. Despite being favourites due to their strong home form and Toulon's domestic struggles, Franco Smith's side were edged out in a thrilling match that saw the three-time European champions secure a last-four clash against Leinster or Sale. The home team took an early lead but Toulon quickly responded, with the match seesawing back and forth as both teams struggled with discipline and capitalised on scoring opportunities. A trademark run from Kyle Steyn put Glasgow back in contention, but they were unable to overcome Toulon's clinical finishing, which ultimately sealed their fate. The French side's victory set up a semi-final showdown against Leinster, who trounced Sale Sharks 43-13 to book their place in the last four.
