What they're saying

"
Kyle Steyn has been playing wondrous rugby all season, but he seemed to go up another level on Friday, on both sides of the ball; two tries, a brilliant 50-22, a magnificent try-saving tackle on Josh Ioane - he was by a mile the game's most influential man. This was a battle for Glasgow and Steyn stood up every time things looked like getting a bit ropey, not just in his marquee moments, but in his overall work-rate, his defensive excellence and his leadership. It was far from foot-perfect from Glasgow, but it was a strong win against a team that exploded into this quarter-final on the back of terrific form.
