2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Season Overview, Season results
With success came a problem. Glasgow were always a key supplier of players to the international team, but now they became a factory. It's hard to think of a side in world rugby that is as decimated by the international window as Glasgow. You pay a price for that eventually.

The 1872 Cup was won by the Warriors but they lost their home match to Edinburgh for the first time on Glasgow soil.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Season Overview, Townsend era
The Gregor Townsend era for Glasgow Warriors ran for 5 years. In that time he guided the team to the 2014-15 Pro12 title and a European Champions Cup Quarter Final for the first time in 2016–17. Aside from this season, the team made the Pro12 play-offs in every year of his reign.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Season Overview, Townsend era
It's hard to put into words how much he's done for the club. He's taken us to another level. We went from having 1,000 people at Firhill if we're lucky to selling out Scotstoun every single week regardless of how we're playing. The brand of rugby we're playing means Gregor's getting tipped for all sorts of jobs and, for the last two or three years, every club's probably been after him at some point. I think we’ve moved from being a bit-part club to every time we take the field people expecting a bloody hard game. I think we expect to go out and win every game we play now, so we’ve certainly moved on.

2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
The Pro12 began this year with an away match for Glasgow Warriors at the defending champions Connacht, the club that had wrested the title from them the previous season. The Warriors players were eager for the match and secured a try bonus victory at Galway Sportgrounds; Peter Horne later said: "I think that really told when we finally played them in the first game of the season and hammered them. It was frustration about why we hadn't been able to do it at the end of last year."


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
The next match against Leinster saw Tommy Seymour run in four tries in another 5 pt victory for the Warriors. This set up an intriguing match away with another team that made a great start to the season, Cardiff Blues. The Blues saw out a tight match and the Warriors only managed a losing bonus point.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
A returning Finn Russell, back from the freak injury he sustained at the end of season match against Connacht, started against Ulster. Again, the Warriors had to content themselves with a losing bonus point.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
An away win against Newport Gwent Dragons and two bonus point wins against Italian sides Treviso and Zebre put the Warriors in a good place before the Autumn Internationals. The Warriors then lost fifteen of their players to Scotland duty. In addition to losing an entire XV worth of players to the Scotland team, another three Warriors were also asked to train with the squad; Ali Price, Nick Grigg and Rory Hughes. Another four international players Simone Favaro, Nemia Kenatale, Djustice Sears-Duru and Langilangi Haupeakui were quickly called up for their respective nations before Sila Puafisi was then called up to play for Tonga.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
This, in addition to a rapidly growing injury list that meant Leonardo Sarto, Richie Vernon, Ryan Grant, Adam Ashe, Greg Peterson, Scott Cummings, Tjiuee Uanivi and Chris Fusaro were all sidelined, really tested the Warriors strength in depth.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
It was not then perhaps too surprising that in the Autumn International window the Warriors lost both matches against the Scarlets and the Ospreys. The run of defeats continued with a one-point loss to Munster at the start of December.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
Over the winter period, with the international players all returning, the Warriors once again began winning matches. A healthy lead in the first leg of the 1872 Cup against Edinburgh then led to wins against Treviso and Cardiff Blues.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
Then came the Six Nations window. Again the Warriors players provided the vast majority of the Scotland national team. Once again the Warriors strength and depth became an issue: three losses to Scarlets, Ulster and Ospreys in succession left Glasgow Warriors now trailing in the league behind those same teams battling for a play-off place.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
Again the international players returned and results improved. Wins against Newport Gwent Dragons, Connacht and Zebre provided a belated challenge for a top 4 place, but losses to Munster and ultimately Leinster put paid to Glasgow's hopes of once again being involved in challenging for the title.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
The Leinster defeat on 28 April 2017 meant that Glasgow Warriors finally lost its proud record of being the only team that had qualified for a top 4 place in every year of the Pro12's existence since it started in season 2011–12. The match at the RDS in Dublin proved bizarre; the match was topsy-turvy with Leinster initially leading before the Warriors took control. Leinster edged ahead with a penalty and then almost immediately the stadium lights went out. It looked like the Dublin side would win the match by the abandonment rule but the referee waited around 20 minutes before the lights came back on and Leinster managed to see out the remainder of the match.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
One more Pro12 match remained to play. The 2nd leg of the 1872 Cup against Edinburgh Rugby at Scotstoun Stadium. Glasgow was eager to return the cup back to the west after Edinburgh had wrested the cup from Glasgow two seasons before. Edinburgh Rugby won the match - the first time that they had tasted victory on Glasgow soil in the 1872 Cup fixture - but they couldn't overturn the margin that the Warriors had built up in the away match at Murrayfield Stadium.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12
Glasgow Warriors won the 1872 Cup for a seventh time; a bittersweet win that ended Gregor Townsend's last match in charge of the Glasgow side.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Pro12, Results
Glasgow Warriors won the 1872 Cup with an aggregate score of 43 - 41.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
Glasgow Warriors were placed in Pool 1 of the European Champions Cup. They were drawn against last year's finalists Racing 92 and past winners Munster and Leicester Tigers.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
As it was announced that this would be Gregor Townsend's last season with the Warriors, one huge focus for the season would be for Glasgow to get out of the pool stages and qualify for a Quarter Final.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
Glasgow's previous best in the Heineken Cup was a Quarter Final play-off in 1997 where they lost to Leicester Tigers. This season's Tigers were first up in the Pool stage.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
The match at Scotstoun resulted in a 42 - 13 win for the Warriors with the Glasgow side running in five tries.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
The untimely death of Munster coach Anthony Foley meant that Munster's match with Racing 92 was postponed. This meant that Munster's next match would be against Glasgow Warriors at an emotionally charged Thomond Park. Foley's sad passing away seemed to galvanise the Munster side together and they ran out 38 - 17 victors in a difficult match for all involved.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
A tough double header against last year's finalists was next up for the Warriors. Racing 92 boasted New Zealand fly-half Dan Carter and former Glasgow Warrior favourite Leone Nakarawa in their ranks. Yet the Glasgow side crushed the French side in Paris with Townsend describing the victory as the second best of his Warriors coaching career after the 2014-15 Pro12 final against Munster.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
The home tie proved the Paris result no fluke as another 'special night' at Scotstoun showed the Warriors dominate the Racing side. In particular Finn Russell's outplaying of Dan Carter in back to back matches thrust the Scotland fly-half into Lions contention.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
Townsend was quoted: "Finn deserved to be in the Lions conversation before the games against Racing but he’s playing with lots of confidence and parts of his game have got really strong over the last couple of years. Finn’s been up against Dan Carter and a lot of other big players in big environments, too. He’s started at Scotland at stand-off for the last two-and-a-half years so even though British & Irish rugby is full of quality players, I expect him to be in the mix."


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
A still emboldened Munster came to Scotstoun and ground out a very tight win. Only 3 points separated the sides on the night.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
The last Pool 1 game for Glasgow was at Welford Rd in Leicester. The Warriors went down to Leicester with purpose and simply mauled the Tigers, handing out the Tigers worst result in European history.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
The Tigers failed to score and Glasgow ran in 6 tries in a famous 43 - 0 victory. By the end of the match Glasgow Warriors pushed for the 50 pts in the Tiger's 22. Leicester's Freddie Burns was tackled and the ball about to be turned over, Burns had to embarrassingly reach out for the touchline to end the match to avoid further Warriors score. Glasgow Warriors became the first Scottish team to beat Leicester at home since the Fettesian-Lorettonian Club managed it 112 years before when they won by a try to nil in 28 December 1905 with Jobson scoring the 3 points.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
Glasgow Warriors thus qualified for a European Champions Cup Quarter Final for the first time in their history. The question now was... could they go even further?


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
The Warriors drew Saracens away from home. As the reigning European champions, Sarries were heavy favourites. Still 6000 of the Warrior Nation went to London and provided the Aviva Premiership team with their highest ever home attendance at Allianz Park.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
The first half proved tighter than expected as a few attempted tries by Saracens were ruled out for infringements - but the London club still led. A blow for the Warriors came when captain Jonny Gray was taken off injured early on. Returning from injury in his first game back Greg Peterson tried to manfully cover his absence.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
The second half started brightly for the Warriors and a try by Lee Jones brought a period of Warriors dominance. However a missed kick to touch by Finn Russell to consolidate the Warriors pressure into a lead proved the turning point in the match and the Saracens then turned the screw and started running in tries. A consolation try at the end by Ryan Wilson was the Warriors only reply.


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
Townsend later was to blame himself for the defeat stating that he had over-analysed the Saracens side and thus prevented Glagow from playing their own game: "Nothing might have worked, because Saracens are so good, but I got it wrong"


2016–17 Glasgow Warriors season, Competitions, Europe
Despite the loss the huge Warrior Nation support made many friends and Glasgow Warriors were now firmly on the European rugby map. Saracens would go on to lift the European Champions title again beating Clermont in the final at Murrayfield Stadium.
