Glasgow Warriors face defending champions Leinster on Saturday in the Guinness PRO14 final at Celtic Park, where the championship-decider will be hosted outside of a non-rugby venue for the first time. The Scottish team, led by Dave Rennie, topped Conference A with 81 points – five more than fellow finalists Leinster – before the Warriors powered past Ulster 50-20 to reach their third ever PRO14 final. Here, we take a look at a highlight reel of some of Glasgow’s best tries of the season, which have helped send them to a ‘home’ showdown for the right to clinch the title. Stuart Hogg vs Munster – Round Two Warriors veteran Stuart Hogg has enjoyed a vintage final season in Glasgow and his effort against Munster was as clinical and effective as you would expect. After narrowly beating Connacht in their opening fixture, Adam Hastings inspired a demolition job of Munster to make it two from two. Glasgow dominated the opening exchanges and, at 8-0 ahead and in the 28th minute, Hogg was supremely quick as he collected a precise grubber through Munster’s defence from Hastings and took it over the try-line before slotting the conversion himself for a 15-0 lead. Callum Gibbins vs Cardiff Blues – Round Nine Warriors captain Callum Gibbins ranks in the top ten for tournament carries, tackles, turnovers won and lineout steals this season – and it is easy to see why when he is registering tries like he did against Cardiff in November. Glasgow’s 40-15 victory over the Blues featured six tries and saw them stretch their gap at the top of Conference A to 13 points at the time but none of the efforts were more determined than that of Gibbins. During a scintillating first-half performance Gibbins completed a beautiful team move, fighting and stretching his way through the tackle to go over after Ruaridh Jackson cheekily flipped the ball behind his back to Nick Grigg in the midst of several well placed passes. Ali Price vs Cardiff Blues – Round 15 Having lost four of their last eight games prior to their encounter with Cardiff during Round 15, Glasgow were experiencing somewhat of a mid-season blip. During an enthralling ten-try thriller, the Warriors rediscovered their style with Ali Price’s effort the best of the bunch. Scrum-half Price ran over in the 18th minute unopposed from distance after centres Grigg and Jarrod Evans combined smartly to unlock the Welsh side’s defence. Tommy Seymour vs Edinburgh – Round 21 In the final game of the regular season, Glasgow secured a home semi-final thanks to a comfortable win over Edinburgh at Scotstoun. Tries from Sam Johnson and Price saw Rennie’s side race into a commanding 20-3 lead at the break and Nico Matawalu and Tommy Seymour added further to consolidate the result in the second half. Seymour’s effort was the pick of the bunch – and it started from all the way inside their own 22. Horne dummied his way through a gap before kicking downfield to Hogg, who found Seymour outside him to go over in a superb piece of execution. Kyle Steyn vs Ulster – semi-finals Glasgow romped their way to the Guinness PRO14 Final in sensational fashion, putting seven tries past Ulster in a 50-20 victory during which Kyle Steyn was instrumental. On the hour mark, and already 29-3 to the good, Hastings’ chip kick was gathered by Hogg and offloaded to Steyn. Steyn then worked a three-man overlap to finish an eye-catching move.
