  2. 'We couldn't stay in the fight long enough' - Boothpublished at 19:23 Greenwich Mean Time 8 January 2022

    FT: Glasgow 38-19 Ospreys

    Ospreys head coach Toby Booth has also been giving his thoughts to Premier Sports:

    "Our endeavour was really good, but we just couldn't stay in the fight long enough", he said. "There were a few missed tackles, and against a good team you'll pay for that.

    "The more Gareth [Anscombe] plays, the better he'll get.

    "As the game went on they had a lot of impact off the bench, and we expended lots of our energy running backwards off missed tackles."

  3. 'I'm really proud' - Wilsonpublished at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 8 January 2022

    FT: Glasgow 38-19 Ospreys

    Glasgow head coach Danny Wilson has been talking post-match to Premier Sports:

    "I'm really proud of the boys", he said. "I thought the attitude we showed, and to come away with a bonus point win, was really pleasing.

    "Ospreys are a niggly, tough team to break down so I'm glad we worked hard at that in the build-up. Our set-piece and defence were good as well.

    "Rory Darge was superb again tonight, as were Josh McKay and Sione Tuipulotu.

    "We spoke about backing up the Exeter performance and we'll need another gear to win in Europe away from home."

    A job well done for Glasgow. They really tidied up their discipline in the second half. They just had too much power for the Ospreys - this is a team that's going places.

    The clock ticks into the red, and Duncan Weir knocks the ball into touch.

    A comprehensive win for Glasgow at Scotstoun.

    Glasgow have try number five!

    A rolling maul picks up more and more momentum, before Fraser Brown snipes round the corner to score. Great strength from the hooker.

    Duncan Weir kicks the conversion.

    It just shows you what a class player Anscombe is.

    Dan Evans

    A consolation for the visitors.

    Gareth Anscombe spots a gap, glides through it, and picks out the run of Dan Evans on his inside, who has a clear path to the line.

    Conversion successful.

    Brilliant scramble defence from Glasgow!

    Ross Thompson's kick was charged down, and Matthew Aubrey looked like he had a clear path to the line.

    However, Kyle Steyn chased him down, and then Thompson got back to win a penalty at the breakdown.

    What a finish! There was nothing on when he received the ball. His big talent is that he can fend off with both hands, and he can step off both feet. There's not many players that can do that.

    Sione Tuipulotu

    Magic from Sione Tuipulotu!

    He receives a slightly unsympathetic pass, but shrugs off Gareth Anscombe's tackle, before stepping back inside.

    The Ospreys' defence suddenly opens up and the big centre doesn't need a second invitation - he races away to score under the posts.

    Ross Thompson adds the extras.

    More good play from Josh McKay gives Glasgow a two-on-one down the left wing.

    George Turner goes in to score, but Ross Thompson's pass to him was well forward.

    Walter Fifita is on for his long-awaited Glasgow debut.

    He'll be looking to exploit the spaces that are starting to open up in the Ospreys' defence.

    This time Glasgow do find a way through!

    Rory Darge (again) bursts through a gap, which takes the Warriors into the Ospreys' 22.

    The ball goes wide to Josh McKay, who steps inside off his right foot, not once but twice, and saunters under the posts to score. Lovely stuff.

    Ross Thompson adds the extras.

    A misunderstanding in the backs sees Kyle Steyn lose the ball, and the Ospreys survive.

    A little kick in behind from Glasgow goes dead as Scott Cummings dives towards the ball in vain.

    The Warriors had a penalty advantage though and kick into the corner. Big chance coming.

    Rory Darge has had the most carries, most clean breaks, most defenders beaten and most offloads of anyone on the field in the first half.

    He is some talent that boy.

    Glasgow have had 74% possession and 73% territory, which shows that they are dominating this game in most areas other than the scoreboard. I suspect it will stretch out if Glasgow look after the ball a bit more. Glasgow have more in most departments. Ospreys are working very hard to stay in this, and Anscombe isn't going to miss off the tee, but I don't think they can sustain this.
