DTH van der Merwe hat-trick downs Montpellier

DTH van der Merwe scores three as Glasgow Warriors produce a rousing second-half performance to beat Montpellier 21-10 at the Scotstoun Stadium.

Glasgow Warriors kept the pressure on Pool Four leaders Toulouse with a 21-10 victory over winless Montpellier in the European Rugby Champions Cup this afternoon.

DTH van der Merwe grabbed a hat-trick as Warriors moved two points adrift of the French giants - who face Bath later today - in their penultimate game of the group stages.

Gregor Townsend's side made the early running and went ahead on 12 minutes through Van der Merwe, with Finn Russell adding the extras to give the hosts a 7-3 lead.

However, Montpellier, who have lost all four of their pool games thus far, responded well and Thibaut Privat's converted try helped the visitors into a 10-7 half-time lead.

The cream rose to the top in the second half, though, as Van der Merwe touched down two further tries to complete his treble and cap a comfortable win in the end.
