IT felt like the good old days at Scotstoun on Sunday afternoon as Glasgow Warriors went toe-to-toe against one of the top teams in the league, and had the courage and punching power to deliver a knock-out blow right at the death.
Huw Jones being at the heart of the action – with a try and two assists in a man-of-the-match performance – was not quite so nostaligia-inducing given that his previous stint at the club never really got going. But it did bring back memories of his early days in a Scotland jersey, when he raced to 10 tries inside his first 14 internationals, including a breath-taking double as the national team claimed England’s scalp for the first time in 11 years at Murrayfield in February 2018.
At that stage, the world seemed to be his oyster, however a combination of injury and a lack of love from previous Warriors head coach Dave Rennie, leading to a dip in confidence and form, meant that Jones’ career began to flatline around 2019.
