Sale are the ones with their tails up and they look the more lively side now.
Not surprisingly, home coach Dave Rennie makes a change, with Chris Fusaro on for fellow flanker Ryan Wilson.

Sale are not yet off the mark, but their new front row is winning a few scrums and Glasgow are penalised for collapsing.
Glasgow Warriors 13-0 Sale Sharks
A clever chip from Adam Hastings is aimed towards DTH van der Merwe scampering down the touchline, but the ball just evades the wing's outstretched arm after it bounces awkwardly off the turf.
Had that bounced differently, it was a definite second try for Glasgow.

Quote MessageI'm surprised. It's total domination from Glasgow. I was getting slightly concerned after half an hour and it was still only 6-0. Sale hadn't entered the Glasgow 22 in anger at that point. But the DTH van der Merwe try is just reward for their dominance. Sale haven't really turned up
Adam Hastings put Glasgow into the lead with two penalties before DTH van der Merwe finally gave the home side the breakthrough their good play deserved with the opening try.
Hastings, who also missed a fairly easy penalty, added the conversion and Warriors are well on their way to a fine start to their Champions Cup campaign.

Byron McGuigan is a frustrated figure on the Sale wing and the Scotland international drops a pass and has a bit of a push at Ratu Tagive.
The Australian just laughs it off.
