Fergus Watson is relishing his opportunity in the Glasgow Warriors first team as he was named as the player of the match in the victory over the Lions.

The 19-year-old winger scored the first try as the Warriors claimed a bonus-point win to move top of the United Rugby Championship table.

"It was unbelievable," Watson told Premier Sports. "Scoring down there in front of the Warrior Nation was class.

"[Franco Smith] said to me in the changing room just before the game, 'don't worry about doing the wrong thing, just be decisive'. I took that on board and just went out there and did my thing.

"When the big dogs are away [with the Scotland squad], I'm grateful for the opportunity, but they'll be back and pushing each other on."
