Glasgow maintained their 100% record as they fought back from 9-25 down to score 22 unanswered points in under 15 minutes. Tommy Hayes scored 21 points for the Warriors through a try, four penalties and two conversions as the Scots left Newport still without a win after three attempts although they did pick up a consolation bonus point.
