Glasgow Warriors ran in five tries against Connacht to claim a bonus-point win and continue their unbeaten start to the United Rugby Championship season.
After last weekend's draw with Ulster at Scotstoun, Warriors were gunning for their first home win of the campaign.
But it was Connacht who started on the front foot and number eight Sean Jansen found his way to the line to put the visitors in front.
The early stages were played almost exclusively in the home side's half, but on their first real foray into opposition territory Warriors sent a rolling line-out maul thundering over the Connacht line, with Gregor Hiddleston touching down.
