Last-gasp Connacht stun URC leaders Glasgow

United Rugby Championship round 12

Connacht (3) 15

Tries: Murphy, Jansen Con: Gilbert Pen: Gilbert

Glasgow (0) 10

Tries: Rowe 2

Glasgow Warriors missed out on the chance to extend their lead at the top of the United Rugby Championship table as Sean Jansen's last-gasp try lifted Connacht to a dramatic victory at Dexcom Stadium.

The Scottish side had hoped to widen the cushion at the summit following second-placed Leinster's defeat by Cardiff on Friday, but instead fell to their first loss in 10 games.

After two second-half tries from Scotland wing Kyle Rowe, the Irish province snatched a much-needed win when Jansen crashed over the line with the final play of the match.

Glasgow remain four points clear of Leinster while Connacht move up to ninth with their fourth win of the season.

A low-scoring first half, which featured periods of intense pressure from both sides, yielded just one score with Sam Gilbert's penalty enough to give Connacht a slender advantage at the break.

But after Connacht second row Joe Joyce was shown a yellow card for a high tackle on Ben Afshar, Rowe scored the game's opening try on the hour mark.

In windy conditions, however, Adam Hastings missed the conversion before Gilbert missed a penalty to put Connacht 6-5 up.

With Joyce still off the field, Rowe provided the moment of the match when he collected a crossfield kick from Dan Lancaster - the son of Connacht head coach Stuart Lancaster - and beat Jack Carty and Finn Treacy to score.

With Hastings missing another conversion attempt, Connacht levelled the game at 10-10 when Josh Murphy forced his way over from close range before Jansen's dramatic late score sparked celebrations from the home players in Galway.
