Defending champions Glasgow Warriors produced a strong performance to beat the Stormers 36-18 in their United Rugby Championship quarterfinal clash at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday night.

The Warriors scored five tries through Rory Darge, Kyle Rowe (twice), Henco Venter and George Horne to book a place in the semifinal while Seabelo Senatla crossed the white line for the visitors twice. 

Franco Smith’s side showed class in front of their supporters as they beat the dismal Stormers who never got going in the match with poor defence and handling errors. 

The quarterfinal show continues on Saturday with the Bulls hosting Edinburgh at Loftus (1.30pm) and that match is followed by a contest between Leinster and in-form Scarlets. 

The final match of the quarterfinal stage sees the Springbok-laden Sharks host Munster in what is expected to be a hostile atmosphere at Kings Park Stadium in Durban.
