Glasgow have had an undefeated start to the season after losing out in the semi-final last year. They narrowly were able to get past Benetton last weekend with a Jare Oguntbeji try in the final minutes putting them ahead for the first time in the game. Benetton were 17-0 ahead just after halftime and Glasgow scored three tries to bring it level. Benetton kicked a penalty, but the late try sealed it for Glasgow.
