3 Things To Know About Glasgow Warriors Before 2025--26 URC

The Glasgow Warriors enter the 2025–26 United Rugby Championship with confidence after a strong 2024–25 campaign. They finished fourth in the standings, securing a playoff berth and advancing to the semifinals before falling to Leinster. 

The season reaffirmed their place as one of the league’s most consistent and competitive teams.

Glasgow’s identity is firmly rooted in their role as Scotland’s flagship club. Founded in 1996, the Warriors claimed the Pro12 title in 2015, the first Scottish professional side to win a league crown, and added another championship in 2024. With a history of developing internationals, they remain vital to Scotland’s rugby fortunes.

Statistically, the Warriors are built to entertain. They scored 523 points and 78 tries last season, ranking second in both categories, and led the URC in defenders beaten (562) and clean breaks (186). That attacking firepower, combined with a solid defensive base and world-class talent, positions them as true title contenders heading into the new season.

Sione Tuipulotu Headlines Glasgow’s Top 100 Stars

Glasgow boasts three players in the FloRugby Top 100: Sione Tuipulotu (No. 13), Huw Jones (No. 56), and Zander Fagerson (No. 78). Tuipulotu is among the best centers in world rugby, combining power with creativity. Jones adds experience and an ability to break defensive lines, while Fagerson’s scrummaging remains critical in the front row. Together, they provide leadership and balance across positions. This trio gives Glasgow the spine needed to compete at the top of the URC table, ensuring the Warriors can match physicality and skill with any opponent.

Attack Built On Breaks And Beaten Defenders

The Warriors’ attacking style is among the most dangerous in the URC. They ranked second in points scored (523) and tries (78), but their dominance in creating space stood out most. Glasgow beat a league-best 562 defenders and made 186 clean breaks. That dynamic play was complemented by Ross Thompson, who finished as the league’s top points scorer with 128. With strike runners across the backline and reliable kicking, the Warriors can overwhelm opponents in multiple ways. Their ability to convert chances quickly will again make them one of the most watchable teams this season.

Defense And Discipline Shape Their Ceiling

While Glasgow’s defense was steady, making 3,394 tackles at an 82% success rate, discipline is an area they must improve. They conceded 203 penalties last season, one of the highest totals in the league. Their set piece offered stability, winning 92% of scrumsand 86% of lineouts. Yet cutting down on infringements will be crucial if they want to turn semifinal appearances into silverware. The Warriors already have the attack to win titles, but discipline could be the difference between another deep run and finally lifting the URC trophy again.
