Ali Carberry In true Warriors style we started off cautiously & upped our game as the night went on! "Fear the Beer!" Thanks very much to all the committee for organising such a nice event & to all the players for coming along & being as hopeless as us at the rugby questions! X
Christine Ferguson Great night, thanks for all the hard work you put in to make it a success. Quite relieved that the players were not great at the questions either! Thanks to all of them for their company!
Carol Thomas It was a great night. The old brain was working overtime but didn't quite get there. We'll need to swot up for next year. Great organisation & the food was great too.
Ross Currie It was a great night
Thanks to all the committee for arranging and to all the Glasgow Warriors players who attended tonight
Cheryl Watson Great night, was so glad I'm not the only one that sucked at the rugby questions. Massive thanks to the committee for arranging a fantastic night and thanks to all the players that came along.
The bomb squad & the pussycat dolls will win one day, OK one round then? Maybe, hopefully!!
Robert Williamson 2nd place for the Amazin 6. best place in 4 years.
Thanks to all the committee!

Warriors v Saints
V
The XVIth Warrior would like to welcome everyone back to Scotstoun for what is now our first European match of the season! We send our deepest condolences and best wishes to all of those affected by the tragedies of the last week. We have been in contact with the Racing 92 supporters to ask them to pass on our thoughts to all in Paris. Thanks to everyone who travelled to Paris this weekend, we're both relieved and happy to see everyone return safely. We hope that many of you will be able to attend the rescheduled match, date still to be confirmed.
Next week at Scotstoun, we will be having our annual Kilt Day to celebrate St Andrew's Day! Come in your best tartan and watch the Warriors play Benetton Treviso in the Pro12.
Sooner than that, we look forward to welcoming those who have booked places to the XVIth Warrior pub quiz next Tuesday. We hope you've all been studying!

Warriors v Dragons
A big XVIth Warrior welcome back to everyone after what feels like a very long time since we last visited Scotstoun! Don't feel deprived though, as today is the first of a long sixteen games in a row for the Glasgow Warriors! A special welcome also to our friends visiting from Wales and beyond to support the Dragons today!
We'd like to extend a Glasgow welcome to Taqele Naiyaravoro, Greg Peterson, Sila Puafisi and Simone Favaro who are joining us for the first time since their international duties. Congratulations to all of our players who have been on international duty for their respective countries in the Rugby World Cup, some of whom we will be welcoming back to Scotstoun shortly after the end of the pool stages. You've made us proud! Good luck to all of our players still competing and representing Scotland this weekend in the RWC quarter finals against Australia on Sunday, and a special congratulations to Ritchie Gray and Sean Lamont on reaching landmark caps for the national team.
We would like to thank everyone who has bought XVIth Warrior champions merchandise, we will be in contact with those who still need to collect their orders. A date will shortly be announced for the annual XVIth Warrior pub quiz, so keep your eyes peeled!
We look forward to seeing everyone again tonight, and at our next home game against Ospreys on November 1st. It's our Halloween game, so get your spookiest costumes on!

After an incredible season last season, we can't wait to see what this season will hold. As usual, we will be on hand in the Clubhouse to welcome everyone back to Scostoun, and we look forward to seeing everyone!
There have been many changes to the team and backstage staff. We welcome all our new players and members of staff to Glasgow, and to Glasgow Warriors! The XVIth Committee has also expanded to include three new faces who you'll all get the chance to meet throughout the season, if you don't know them already! These new members will be our presence in the main stand, a new move forward for us!
Today we have a Pro12 Final photo wall on display in the clubhouse for everyone to come and have a look! Looking forward to this season, we've got plans for our members to have some new things to see and do! Plus our annual pub quiz will be later on in the year.

Who we are
While we get the new chant sorted, we thought we would set the Warrior Nation a wee bit of home work.
How amazing would it be for us to raise our voices to welcome our boys with a song that (despite its origins) does have real meaning.
For those with a short memory here's the chorus:
Every battle, every scar
We are warriors
Hear us shouting from our hearts
The Sixteenth Warrior
We will travel near and far
For the thousand wars
Hear us screaming from our hearts
This is who we are
Are…
Are…
This is who we are
*END*
For the truly commited, here's our interpreted version of the full song:
(Verse)
We make mistakes
We'll rise again
We choose the road we shouldn’t take
(Verse)
We'll follow rules
We'll cross the line
It’s just enough to feel alive
(Pre-Chorus)
But it makes us who we are
Tonight…
(Chorus – part 1)
Every battle, every scar
We are warriors
Hear us shouting from our hearts
The Sixteenth Warrior
(Chorus – part 2)
We will travel near and far
For the thousand wars
Hear us screaming from our hearts
This is who we are
Are…
Are…
This is who we are
(Verse)
We play with fire
We laugh and cry
We taste the dark to see the light
(Verse)
We’re wild and free
Our hearts are true
We put our trust in boys in blue new
(Pre-Chorus)
But it makes us who we are
Tonight…
(Chorus – part 1)
Every battle, every scar
We are warriors
Hear us shouting from our hearts
The Sixteenth Warrior
(Chorus – part 2)
We will travel near and far
For the thousand wars
Hear us screaming from our hearts
This is who we are
Are…
Are…
This is who we are
(Chorus – part 1) (x2)
Every battle, every scar
We are warriors
Hear us shouting from our hearts
The Sixteenth Warrior
(Chorus – part 2)
We will travel near and far
For the thousand wars
Hear us screaming from our hearts
This is who we are
Are…
Are…
This is who we are
