    It's a good line by Scott [Cummings]. As soon as you get a bit of quick ball you see the forwards coming in around nine and just pulling those Cardiff defenders out of the line.

    Scott Cummings

    The scrum is solid, DTH van der Merwe comes in off his wing to have a crack at the line.

    The ball comes back, Ali Price fixes the defenders and pops a short pass to Scott Cummings arriving on a great line to crash over.

    Just don't panic there, go through the phases. Just because you've made a big line break you don't need to score immediately. Build the pressure again.

  5. Blues on the rackpublished at 30 mins

    Glasgow 7-0 Cardiff

    This game has suddenly exploded into life.

    Tommy Seymour collects the restart, shrugs off a desperately soft tackle from Matthew Rees and breaks free.

    If he looks left he has Grant Stewart haring up alongside him in support but he ignores the hooker and the move stalls momentarily. Tim Swinson eventually looks to push over from close range but is held up over the line.

    Scrum 5m to Glasgow.

    They kept control. Sometimes it's a worry when there are so many bodies in there you don't get it to the back of the maul. It's a good try, a good bit of control.

    Grant Stewart

    Finally a rolling line-out maul done the way it should be!

    Glasgow's pack powers towards the line and hooker Grant Stewart is able to ground the ball at the base for the score.

  8. Does anybody want to score?published at 25 mins

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff blow another line-out maul near the Glasgow line and when the ball is turned over Brandon Thomson is able to boot the ball down into the Cardiff half.

    The Blues struggle to break out under fierce defensive pressure which leads to a Glasgow penalty.

    They kick to the corner...

    It's indiscipline from the co-captain. That's just stupidity. That's when as a coach you get really frustrated. Cardiff are going nowhere at that point.

  10. Ryan's rush of bloodpublished at 21 mins

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff hold onto the ball for a few phases and Willis Halaholo looks for gaps in the midfield.

    A ruck is formed on the Glasgow 10m line in the centre of the field, and for reasons only he knows, Glasgow captain Ryan Wilson takes out Blues number 10 Steve Shingler who isn't even part of the ruck.

    The kind of rush of blood to the head that infuriates coaches. Penalty Cardiff and the kick to touch for the line-out deep in Glasgow territory.

  11. Hogg struggling to find rangepublished at 19 mins

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    For the second time in the opening 20 minutes, Stuart Hogg looks to kick downfield but misjudges the force of the wind at his back and his kick carries all the way over the Cardiff dead-ball line.

  12. Saracens losing at Lyonpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January 2019

    Lyon 3-0 Saracens

    News from the other game in this group, which kicked off at the same time.

    Early days maybe, but Lyon - who are out of the qualifying picture - have made a good start against pool leaders Saracens, Jonathan Wisniewski's drop-goal giving them the lead against the English champions, who started the day four points ahead of Glasgow at the top of Pool Three.

  13. Wasteful Warriorspublished at 16 mins

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    Dave Rennie has bemoaned Glasgow's lack of clinical edge in recent games and it has it's a problem that's arisen again in the opening period here.

    Warriors are running through the phases around the Cardiff 22m line before Scott Cummings gets himself isolated, Josh Navidi pounces at the ruck and Cummings is pinged for holding on.

    Frustrating start to this game for the home side.

  14. Cardiff clinging onpublished at 13 mins

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    Glasgow gain the upper hand in the scrum and are awarded a penalty which Stuart Hogg booms way downfield to touch.

    The rolling line-out maul is again headed for the Cardiff line and again the Welsh side bring it to a stop illegally.

    Glasgow elect for a 5m scrum....

  15. Gibbins gonepublished at 10 mins

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    More injury problems for Glasgow.

    Flanker Callum Gibbins limps off with what looks like a knee injury to be replaced by Chris Fusaro.

    A look of concern is etched on Dave Rennie's face when the camera pans to the Warriors coach.

    All the game apart from the first couple of minutes has been played in Cardiff's half. But you've got to come away with points, especially when it's this windy.

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    Glasgow's rolling line-out maul is halted illegally as it rumbles towards the Cardiff line.

    Ali Price elects to tap quickly, feeds DTH van der Merwe but, after the TMO has a look, it's clear he was bundled into touch before touching down.

  18. Early changepublished at 7 mins

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    Matt Fagerson's day is brought to a premature end as he departs with a shoulder injury.

    Tim Swinson is on in his place and will go into the second row, Rob Harley goes to six and Ryan Wilson shifts to eight.

    I'm quite surprised Glasgow went to the back at that lineout. I thought we would have gone to the front and built pressure.

  20. Throw woepublished at 6 mins

    Glasgow 0-0 Cardiff

    Now it's Glasgow's turn to spurn a promising position.

    Awarded a kickable penalty, they elect to go for the corner but, in very testing conditions for the hookers throwing in, Grant Stewart's throw is picked off by Cardiff and the chance is gone.
