    FT: Glasgow 33-14 Dragons

    Dragons Director of Rugby Dean Ryan looked fairly downcast as he spoke to Premier Sports.

    "We were well beaten," he said.

    "It was a challenge for us to stay together in that second half - we could have imploded.

    "We were so under pressure today, and I think the mistakes were a result of that.

    "Jordan Williams looks like he may have broken his hand unfortunately. We're finding it difficult with injuries, but we need to stay together and keep improving."

  3. 'There's more to come' - Wilsonpublished at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2021

    FT: Glasgow 33-14 Dragons

    Glasgow head coach Danny Wilson has been talking to Premier Sports.

    "We've got a good crop in the back row," he said.

    "I'm pleased for Jack - he's been outstanding since he joined. I still think there's more to come from us. We've got to be more accurate, and the turnover rate was a bit high. For us to start trying a few things in attack gives plenty for opposition teams to analyse.

    "It'll be a big test [against La Rochelle next week] - they're a huge side in every way."

    Man of the Match Jack Dempsey has been talking to Premier Sports post-match:

    "Danny [Wilson] spoke all week about how their game is based around physicality", he says. "We knew we had to bring it, and we did.

    "I'm loving it at Glasgow - it's been such a breath of fresh air, to come over here and start again. I'm playing some of my best rugby."

    Down the other end, the Dragons have been desperately looking for a score of their own.

    It looks for all the world as though Jamie Roberts will score, but a huge tackle denies him.

    There was a penalty advantage for the visitors, so they will get another go...

    Huge drive from Glasgow's forward pack, as they roll menacingly into Dragon's territory.

    The ball goes wide to Sebastian Cancelliere, but he is absolutely smashed into touch by Josh Lewis.

    Almost an unbelievable try from the Dragons' Sam Davies, who chips over the top and gathers himself.

    Only a fantastic last-ditch tackle from Josh McKay prevents the Welsh side from getting on the board.

    Great work from Sione Tuipulotu, who straightens up, breaks the line, and then offloads out of the back to Kyle Steyn.

    Glasgow make it to the Dragons 22, before another handling error gives the Welsh side a scrum.

    Straight off the training ground!

    Ritchie Gray throws a big dummy, before passing to Rory Darge down the blind-side. The Glasgow flanker bursts downfield, but the ball goes forward.
