REACTION: There are new leaders in the United Rugby Championship in the shape of Glasgow Warriors who are now the only unbeaten team in the competition.

Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith praised his depleted squad after securing a 29-20 bonus point victory over the Lions at Scotstoun. The win moved Glasgow to the top of the United Rugby Championship table as the competition's only remaining unbeaten team. The result was bolstered by previous frontrunners Edinburgh falling to their first defeat of the season against Benetton.
Fullback Ollie Smith scored a crucial 76th-minute try before George Horne added late kicks to secure the victory. Franco Smith was missing 11 of the 19 Glasgow players chosen for Scotland's international campaign, highlighting the depth and preparation of the squad during the challenging international window.
