Glasgow Warriors Player Rating: The Warriors recovered from a shaky start, particularly in the forwards, but were brave enough to make mistakes. They proved that they can record a big win that will be talked about for years to come when it is needed most.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Josh McKay – 7.5 The elusive runner was the only player who carried the ball more than Twipulotu and made meters that really hurt the Munster defence.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Sebastian Chancellor – 7.5 Causing a disaster with more gas than the North Sea. He came close to going under the post in the first half but his side’s second effort was not to be denied.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Huw Jones – 8 A class act with a first-half try-saving covering tackle on Simon Zebo before Cancellier produced a try-out after the break.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Sione Twipulotu – 8.5 A proper danger Munster alarm bells rang as soon as he got the ball in his huge mitts and almost got his side over the line early on.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Kyle Steyn – 6 A mixed evening produced the first try for himself, picking up a loose ball to clear the race, but then often had the flip side of the ball.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Tom Jordan – 8 He was brave enough to support himself when he had the opportunity to work with freedom. He won turnovers and penalties and made a try-save tackle on Frisch.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: George Horn – 5.5 He didn’t have his best game and was generally sloppy, turning over four times in the first half alone and his poor kicking helped Munster score their first try.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Jamie Bhatti – 5 He likes the rest of Munster’s front row but didn’t get off to the best of starts when he was on the back foot but eventually joined the game.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Johnny Mathews – 6 Came under pressure at the scrum but pounced on the overturned ball, then rolled up his sleeves in defence, didn’t miss a tackle and handled the maul operation expertly.
- Glasgow Warriors Player: Xander Fagerson – 5
When he closes his eyes tonight, he will see in his nightmares Jeremy Loughman, who dominated him in the scrum. Worked hard in defense though.
- Scott Cummings – 6.5 Was a willing and hard worker in defence, with nine tackles and a danger and some useful meters for Munster at the breakdown.
- Richie Gray – 6.5Sinn missed ten minutes in the bin as his side suffered, conceding six penalties in the first 11 minutes but saving his heart when needed.
- Matt Fagerson – 5.5 Led the back-to-the-wall operation in the trenches but, on another day, could have been chased by Peter O’Mahony.
- Rory Darge – 6.5 Caused problems at the line out and on the floor, won some key turnovers for him and did his fair share of donkey work on the ball.
- Jack Dempsey – 6.5 The five-star general acted like a field marshal and wanted to keep the ball in hand when necessary.
Replacement: Glasgow Warriors Player
- George Turner – 5 His first line out throw didn’t go as planned, but he survived the crisis.
- Oli Cable – 5 He was only on the field for ten minutes and did what was required in that time.
18 – Murphy Walker not used
- Max Williamson – 5
A 20-minute cameo, but was ready to make several useful tackles
- Euan Ferrie N/A
Played just 13 minutes before returning during HIA
- Henko Venter – 5 He needed time to adjust to the pace of the game and his carries proved effective against tiring defences
- Jamie Dobby – 5 Wanted to engage in a carry, and a few tackles didn’t help anyone
