Glasgow chief buoyed by Heineken cup success over Biarritz
Glasgow coach Sean Lineen was full of praise for his team's character and determination after they ground out an important 9-6 Heineken Cup triumph over Biarritz.
Dan Parks proved the Warriors' match-winner as he kicked three penalties to see off the 2006 runners-up and open up Group Four.
Lineen was delighted by his side's gritty display and insists they will travel to France next Friday for the return fixture with their sights set on another win.
"My guys displayed an unbelievable amount of guts to get this result," he stated.
Self-belief
"In the changing room at the interval, I looked at them all - and their eyes told me the depth of their self-belief and that they would win.
"Biarritz made a lot of mistakes, but most of them were forced on them by our pressure.
"There is no doubt that Biarritz will give us a very warm reception when we go there on Friday - but we won't be making the journey for anything other than another win.
"I am really proud of the way the guys dug in and it was without doubt the best result since I came to the club.
"Our defence against one of the best teams in the tournament was outstanding and our scrum was quite brilliant."
Biarritz backs coach Jack Isaac conceded that his side had not deserved anything from the game and insisted there would be some hard work ahead of Friday's rematch.
"We did not deserve to win and it would have been a shame for Glasgow if we had," he said.
"We are all very disappointed because it was the worst we have played for some time. I was surprised our boys were not up for it.
"We only came alive in the last few minutes and we got what we deserved.
"We have a lot of work to do before we face Glasgow again at home."
