Glasgow Achieves Decisive Win Against Edinburgh in Derby Match

Derby matches are typically a “massive arm wrestle,” according to scrum-half George Horne, but Glasgow demonstrated greater strength, emerging as 33-14 victors against Edinburgh. “We knew it would be a special occasion and just running out to see 25,000 fans – mainly Glasgow – was surreal,” Horne conveyed to BBC Scotland. “It’s an unbelievable feat from the club and we did them proud.” “We know how good Edinburgh are and these games are usually a massive arm wrestle. We moved the ball well, that caused them trouble. To score those tries early got our tails up and we hung on from there.” “There’s a lot on the line next week, more league points and the 1872 Cup, so we can’t wait to get back next week and try and win it.” Returning captain Kyle Steyn was in a similarly positive mood, having scored upon his injury comeback. “That was amazing,” he told Premier Sports. “I missed these games last year, but I missed most being out there with the boys. The crowd, all the blue flags, it was cracking.” “We’ve been hit with injuries and had loads of rotation but whoever has put the jersey on each week has really stepped up. We’ve learnt our lessons well and I’m happy with where we are.” Player of the match Sione Tuipulotu also stated to Premier Sports: “[Nilling them] was the goal, definitely. The last two tries were pretty disappointing with how they came about. I’m sure we’ll be spoken to about that.” “This week was weird for me, preparing to play my brother. I thought he went well tonight, I was really proud of him.” “We’ve still got one more week, one more game, but I’ll enjoy Christmas with my brother which will be nice.”
