Pre-season and friendlies

The pre-season matches were a mixed bag for the Warriors. Dave Rennie was happy with the Harlequins match at Perth; noting that the Glasgow side were missing 20 internationals.
In contrast, the Northampton Saints match was a bit of a wake-up call. Rennie stated that 'We got beaten up a bit tonight' and blamed a lack of communication, the quality of tackle technique and a lack of patience. On a more positive note he continued 'They’re all things we can tidy up.'
