It really defines the rugby community at large. There’s also our win against Racing 92 in December 2016, meeting Dan Carter and seeing our boys so confidently take him and the Racing92 squad of 2016 on and win was amazing.

Instead of one we have two! We give you a lovely couple that we don't see enough of during a usual season. First bumped into these two scallywags at a Racing game in Paris and been friends ever since. One of the great reasons that we love this game. </span></span></span></p><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;">FAVOURITE GROUND, BAR SCOTSTOUN, AND WHY?</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;">Michelle - Stade Yves-du-Manoir in Montpellier, it was the first away match that I went to in October 2014.

Leicester Tigers is our local team to where we stay, and to be there that night when the Warrior Nation was out in force, along with lots of our Tigers mates was awesome. A score of 0-43 and qualifying for the Knockout stages was the icing on the cake.</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;">WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A WARRIORS' SUPPORTER?</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;">Michelle - it's the camaraderie that the fans and team share. As we live in England we go to very few home games, so the weekends away that we have with all the fans (lots of the usual suspects) are something that I look forward to and reminds me of home. Also seeing a player from my wee village in Ayrshire play for the Warriors filled me full of pride - we miss you Gordy.</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;">Jim - been supporting Glasgow since before the professional era and it always amazes me how far we have actually come. I've lived outside of Scotland for 30 plus years, and when I'm home I've always tried to get to see them. It definitely lifts my spirits when I do, despite some of the results I've witnessed over the years, but I will always be a fanatical supporter regardless of how they perform.</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;">IF YOU WEREN'T A WARRIORS' SUPPORTER, WHO WOULD YOU SUPPORT?</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;">Michelle and Jim - We would both support Leicester Tigers.

I've been to both Bennetton and Zebre and the Italians are so welcoming. The fact they're beautiful places to holiday doesn't hurt either. Honorary mention to Racing 92's old ground Stade Olympique Yves-Du-Manoir, victory champagne from a pitch side tent surrounded by white plastic patio furniture is a brilliant memory. </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;">BEST EXPERIENCE AT A GAME, MOMENT ETC, HOME OR AWAY?</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;">My first away trip was our first final in Dublin 2014. At the end of a disappointing game some of the players came around the pitch, shaking hands and thanking the travelling support. Jon Welsh said he promised they'd do one better and win silverware the next season. I said I'd hold him to it, and sure enough the title win came the following year!</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;">WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A WARRIORS' SUPPORTER?</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;">Friendship/Community. I bought my first season ticket when we moved to Scotstoun solo, not knowing many people with an interest in rugby other than my sister Stef, who'd just moved down south.

I had a great trip there to watch the Warriors play La Rochelle. I went with my friend Gillian from XVI Warrior. The welcome we received from the Home Support was amazing especially the welcome we received at the General Humberts Pub, a good time was had by all and we got the win.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">The Stadio Communale Di Monigo Treviso was another. It was one of my first trips away with the Warriors with my friend Tricia. Treviso is a beautiful City, loads of wine and pasta. A good win for us and a Hogmany Team flight home when the boys entertained the supporters on the flight to a karaoke sing song. Have to say Rob Harley had the best voice.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">BEST EXPERIENCE:</div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">It has undoubtedly got to be the Pro12 final in 2015. I unfortunately could not get to Ulster due to work but watched it in the pub before night shift. I went to work on a total high and that was obviously due to our amazing win and all the Diet coke I consumed. I did get to celebrate with the Team when they toured in an open topped bus ending up in George Square. The welcome they got was amazing.</div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">Thereafter my friend and I were fortunate to be invited into the City Chambers where a Reception was held for boys by the Lord Provost. Will never forget it. </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A GLASGOW SUPPORTER:</div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">I have always been a big rugby fan and Scotland supporter and to be honest put off going to local games on my own but thanks to a group of Glasgow Warriors supporters I met in a pub one Sunday whilst watching a Scotland game, they encouraged me to go to my first Warriors game and I've never looked back and even managed to get my friend Tricia to come along too.</div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">From my first away trip to Connacht then Treviso, London, Montpellier and La Rochelle, I have made so many Warrior Supporter friends. We have the best travelling support I have ever seen as well as the best Home support, the roar at Scotstoun says it all.</div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">We have the best Team EVER, great personalities as well as players and it looks like it's only going to get better next season.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">IF YOU WEREN'T A GLASGOW SUPPORTER, WHO WOULD YOU SUPPORT?</div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">Thats a difficult one. I can't honestly imagine supporting any other Team other than Glasgow. I'm Glasgow born and bred and love my City. </div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">Even when I go on holiday to visit my American family in Chicago, the flag comes with me.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">But if I was forced to choose, then I'm Scottish through and through so it would have to be Edinburgh (ouch!) but don't tell my friends I said that, ha!

Watching the Team run out before the game starts, the flags and the roar of the crowds as we cheer the Team on.</div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none;">I just love my seat in the NORTH STAND. I'm right at the front so, as I'm sure those around me will attest to, I get to jump up and down at all the tries we score and of course scream at the Ref (no one in particular comes to mind) but Mr Clancy probably was one of my favs, ha!, and I got away with it.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none;

It has felt like a while since we had a game at Scotstoun, but it was
great to be back and see the boys in action. It was also Niko's 100th
appearance as well as D'Arcy Rae's 50th appearance and Ruaridh Jackson's 100th
start. There was a fury of tries by Adam Ashe, Niko Matawalu, Callum
Gibbins (Winner of the longest arm stretch to the line), Tommy Seymour, Rory
Hughes and Niko Matawalu and as a result Cardiff couldn't match the pace,
ferocity or creativity of the Warriors. The second half perhaps wasn't as fluid
but what potential the boys have if they put together an 80 minute
performance. </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

XVIth Warrior were in full voice supporting the team to keep to fortress
Scotstoun and maintain our position at the top of the league. Let’s have more
of the same on Saturday as Scarlets come to visit. Hopefully we are in for
another strong performance from the boys ahead of rounds 3 & 4 of the

This last Saturday we were reunited with the Sarries Supporters meeting up at Waxy's in Glasgow. Our friendships continue to grow since the Quarter final when we were welcomed at Mill Hill rugby club, Hendon rugby club and in the ground by both supporters and customer support staff. Some Sarries fans visited at the end of last season and then again in Northampton at our preseason friendly. They are like minded people who like watching rugby as well as socialising. As well as catching up we had a few "games" which were drawn one apiece.<br />

On Sunday we held the first part of our raffle jointly raising money for Rape Crisis Glasgow and the Saracens Sport Foundation. We raffled rugby shirts, a hat and whisky with prize winners from both Glasgow and Sarries. Thank you to everyone we have raised a total so far of £400. The second half of the raffle will take place when we visits Sarries for our game in January.</div>

So to the highly anticipated match where we hoped for a free
flowing exciting game with tries on both sides.
Sadly that wasn't the game plan of Sarries who came with a full strength
team with lots of capped players for England.
They were out to win even if it wasn't pretty and proved costly in terms
of injuries. Warriors have blown a bit hot and
cold this season but they certainly responded to being up against a top
tier English team and upped their game shown by the stats. The difference was slowed down rucks, the
points from boot, a foot in touch try
and a some baffling decisions by the officials . This resulted in Scotstoun
coming alive with the crowd willing the Warriors on. Not the result we wanted but its onwards and
upwards as focus turns to Sunday. It's
also great to see all the Warriors selected for the Scottish squad for the
autumn tests. Let's keep getting behind
the team throughout the rest of the season.<br />

What a summer we have had, lovely sunny warm weather and a
few wins for the warriors as part of the Scotland team summer tour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The XVIth Warrior was also busy both on
social media and behind the scenes providing supporters feedback to Glasgow
Warriors and Scottish rugby on Silver Saturday. We are grateful to the Glasgow
warriors management, especially Nathan Bombry's in securing a home game against
Edinburgh .</div>

The team have been busy preparing for the season ahead with
time with the Marines, a visit to Millport, hill sprints, exercise tests, team
challenges, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This culminated in two
pre season friendlies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was brilliant
to see almost 6000 supporters in Perth to see a solid win against
Harlequins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few of us made the trip to
Northampton where we made up with Northampton fans and Barnet Branch (Sarries
Supporters) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>where a good time was
had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps not the rugby performance
we had expected with the team struggling to fire properly with little
possession although there were 10 clean line breaks and 3 tries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, they put in a great performance up
front against Connacht.</div>

Saturday marked the start of our pre-season campaign in London and what a fantastic start it was. Warriors took on Harlequins at Twickenham Stoop as part of their 150-year anniversary celebrations. It also provided the XVIth Warrior with the opportunity to stage a ‘Tartan Takeover’ by donning the all new Glasgow Warriors Kilts!<br />
<br />
Away games of any sort are always quite special, the atmosphere is always different. In Scotstoun we are united, powerful and somewhat intimidating to the opposition which fills us with confidence. When we’re the visitors our numbers are dwindled, but we still manage to make our presence known with our chants and songs. This occasion was no different, and the Warrior Nation managed to fill the void between the monotonous ‘HARLEQUINS’ chant with a rather loud ‘GLASGOW’ response!<br />
<br />
Travelling fans are also a fantastic breed of people but not everyone has the ability to travel, I really recommend getting to at least one away game if you haven’t already. It is a great opportunity to meet some fantastic people and make great friends. There is also the dancing and drinking with the committee after the game, which is a must. Your first away experience is unlikely to be your last.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uhJXvadKnfQ/V8A7pKKZKuI/AAAAAAAAAoM/Az5o49zuEOwEaKF1e7HAf8XCj8NYUdcnQCLcB/s1600/leo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uhJXvadKnfQ/V8A7pKKZKuI/AAAAAAAAAoM/Az5o49zuEOwEaKF1e7HAf8XCj8NYUdcnQCLcB/s200/leo.jpg" width="185" /></a></div>
What were the highlights? For me, Leonardo Sarto ran onto the pitch with a mission – to firmly cement his place in the starting XV come Galway. The passionate performance that followed suggests he will achieve that unchallenged. Scoring a try on his debut against such a strong Harlequins side will hopefully be the first of many career highlights for the Azzurri Warrior. A classy performance all round.<br />
<br />
There were a few other outstanding players on the pitch making their debut for the Warriors, with a particularly solid performance at No. 8 from new boy Lewis Wynne. Simone Favaro once again proved he has little regard for his own personal safety. If the big hearted Italian can avoid injury this year he will surely be a contender for Player of the Season. However, Man of the Match for me had to be Rory Hughes, an all-round accomplished performance. He has obviously been working on controlling his naturally aggressive style. He tackled and carried well all afternoon and should be a regular starter this season.<br />
<br />
What were the lowlights? Concern arose when Nick Grigg took a bad knock and was stretchered off, however, word was quickly received that he was up moving around and recovering well. Everyone here at the XVIth Warrior can’t wait to see him back out on the pitch.<br />
<br />
Losing a game is always disappointing, however, the overall performance of a number of ‘alleged’ second string players was highly impressive. Given the strength of the opposition, littered with England Internationals, we can be quite content with the result.<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x0DMyRWKniw/V8A6kSn-LPI/AAAAAAAAAn4/dFYCVkOfWEEZhUfWCsoRhGUConjrzxQowCLcB/s1600/BLOGGGGGG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="108" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x0DMyRWKniw/V8A6kSn-LPI/AAAAAAAAAn4/dFYCVkOfWEEZhUfWCsoRhGUConjrzxQowCLcB/s200/BLOGGGGGG.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
We couldn’t talk about an away game without mentioning the fans that always make these trips… interesting. The Harlequins cheer leader was the most enthusiastic fan I have ever had the pleasure of meeting; we need one of him in Scotstoun for sure. More importantly, the #wheresbradford boy’s. The Harlequins fans in general were exemplary and made the travelling support feel very welcome.<br />
<br />
Overall, the performance from the Warriors has shown that Gregor is determined to end his career with the club on a high and we at the XVIth Warrior can’t wait to get behind him and the boys over the next eight months to show the Pro 12 and the European Championship that we are not going to settle for anything other than silverware – including the 1872 Cup!<br />
