Miller happy to keep Bayonne crowd quiet

  • Published

Ally Miller picked the perfect time to score his first Glasgow Warriors try as he raced 30 metres for the first of two touchdowns that earned a 12-11 win against Bayonne in the Champions Cup.

Seven days on from a disappointing home defeat to Northampton Saints, the Warriors put themselves right back in the hunt for a knockout place.

"It was definitely a strong reaction to last week鈥檚 result and it was fun, real fun out there," said 27-year-old back-rower Miller.

"We knew the crowd would be crazy and it was all about trying to silence them. We did a good job of that."

It was Miller鈥檚 first start of the season and only his 20th appearance since switching allegiance from Edinburgh - and he enjoyed a memorable score.

"George Turner took the last man out and I took on their wing on the outside," he explained. "He didn鈥檛 have the legs and I cheekily tried to run around to the posts.

"I鈥檝e played sevens for Scotland and it was just part of a good team performance. We tried to get the ball wide and it worked out.

"We were all proud to put in a good performance for the fans who travelled out to watch us. There is a lot more to come from us."
