George Horne scored just a minute after his introduction on his 100th Glasgow Warriors appearance on his return from Scotland duty.
George Horne couldn’t have dreamed of a better way to mark becoming a Glasgow Warriors centurion when he went to bed on Saturday night.Cup in France conscious that a landmark occasion would greet him upon his return to club rugby. Horne’s close friends and family, including his brother - ex-Scotland international Peter - were in attendance at Scotstoun to witness Horne make his 100th appearance for Glasgow.
“There were a few things going out on social media and a few nice things done at the club to commemorate my 100th game and it got me thinking. Yeah, I was just so proud to be part of it really. That was the main thing that came out. I was just so looking forward to getting out there and getting it over with and hopefully getting the win which we have done.“I always say playing with my brother was the highlight of my career. He has done so much for me. I look up to him.
“Yeah, it was special but tonight definitely topped it,” Horne added on his debut. “We won tonight, we didn’t win on my first cap, and that is what it is all about. I am a competitive guy and want to win every game I play in so tonight was just amazing and the way we won as well. The amount of goal-line defence, we held them out and it showed how much the boys mean to each other and how much everyone cares.
“I was disappointed,” Horne conceded. “We knew we had a tough group but we knew we had the game and the players to win against Ireland and South Africa but we didn’t put in a performance. You go into every game wanting to win and not to do that was disappointing and hard to take but as I said there was a chance to go out there and put some of those wrongs right. It was a nice way to get over it.
