This was an unnecessary loss. Credit to Treviso for hanging in there and kicking on, but Glasgow didn't help themselves in failing to keep possession in that second half. Glasgow put out a strong side.
We asked for your views on Glasgow Warriors' shock defeat to Benetton in the URC.
Here's what some of you said:
Robert: It is a game of 80 minutes and you have to keep going and continually apply pressure. This was an unnecessary loss.
Paul: Disappointing result after getting into a winning position. Defence was pretty good throughout. Attack not in top gear yet and couldn't really capitalise on first half dominance. Credit to Treviso for hanging in there and kicking on, but Glasgow didn't help themselves in failing to keep possession in that second half.
Glasgow put out a strong side. Let's hope it's just early season rust or the Italian curse rather than a sign of things to come.
Wee Whitey: Despite a dreadful second half, this game should have been Glasgow's. Pragmatism is a stranger at Scotstoun. Ignoring kickable penalties, trying to run out of the 22 with the slimmest of leads was madness.
Pump the ball up the pitch and put your best chase on it. Only have themselves to blame. Not sure what the coach will make of it, but it seems like his mindset.
Gus: Very poor show, in control of most of the game.Have too learn to be streetwise.
James: Championship-winning teams don't lose that game. There's a lack of leadership in that squad, especially in the forwards. The poor game management and failure to adapt to Treviso's change in tactics was embarrassing.
Doug: First half was encouraging and we should've been out of sight but second half we were ragged and undisciplined. Credit to Benetton who took their chances and upped their game.
This sort of defeat where we switch off is the sort that is costly when it comes to securing a home semi. This is the maddening inconsistency of being a Scottish rugby fan.
Robert: Should have been out of sight before half-time. Small errors in second half proved costly but playing for territory in the last quarter is surely what's required when it's a one point game? Gutted to have lost that.
