Glasgow The Warriors extended their unbeaten start to the new season by pulling away for an impressive 47-27 win at Sale.
Glasgow’s winning score may have looked convincing, but they only secured victory in the final 20 minutes after Rekeiti Ma’asi-White temporarily reduced Sale’s deficit to four.
The hosts ran everything in the early stages and were 12 points ahead in the first 10 minutes with tries from Ben Curry and Aaron Reid.
The visitors hit back with a penalty try and further efforts from Kyle Steyn and Jamie Dobie to take a hard-earned 21-15 lead at the interval.
The game looked in the balance until late tries from Rory Darge, Ollie Smith and debutant Otavi Tuipulotu helped Glasgow pull away to complete a precious bonus point win.
Host from Glasgow Pau in their next Champions Cup match Sale travel to Leinster for a tough test in mid-December.
