Ignacio Mendy
It's a shocker of a start to the second half for Glasgow.
Ignacio Mendy is set free down the left, he shimmies past Cole Forbes with ease and dives over in the corner. Rhyno Smith nails the conversion from out wide.
Someone in a Glasgow shirt needs to get a grip on this game, and quick.

John Barclay
Former Scotland captain on Premier SportsQuote MessageThere's a lot of quality and experience on the Glasgow bench, and also a lot of energy. The word coming out of Glasgow's pre-season is that it's been hard, long sessions. They do look tired. Franco Smith has only had a month - it's a challenge for him to imprint his style.

Stephen Ferris
former Ireland flanker on Premier SportsQuote MessageIt feels like a pre-season game littered with errors. Glasgow look out on their feet and have been second best - there could well be some subs at half-time to inject a bit of life into the performance.

That kick is the last action of the first half in Treviso.
Glasgow have been comfortably second best so far - they need a big improvement if they want to win this season opener.

George Horne
Some relentless carrying from Glasgow's forwards takes the visitors into Benetton's 22.
They win a penalty after a no-arms tackle from Giovanni Pettinelli.
Captain Kyle Steyn decides to take the points on offer rather than kicking to the corner.
George Horne makes no mistake from bang in front.

A knock-on from the kick-off gifts Glasgow the opportunity to do something before half-time.
Can they take advantage?

Gianmarco Lucchesi
Benetton maul their way over the line and stretch their lead.
They were in complete control there. Glasgow have no answers to the Italian outfit's forward power at the minute.

Another rock-solid scrum from Benetton drives Glasgow back, and the referee awards them a penalty.
It is kickable, but they kick to the corner, looking for a try...

An incredibly scrappy spell of play sees the ball pinball around following a Benetton up-and-under.
The hosts have a scrum inside Glasgow's half.

Scott Scrafton, the Kiwi making his Benetton debut, hammers Glasgow back, and results in a turnover.
Benetton look relatively untroubled in defence, it has to be said.

A great kick from Tom Jordan takes Glasgow into the Benetton 22.
This is comfortably the best attacking platform for the Warriors so far...

Excellent defence from Sebastian Cancelliere, who scrags Rhyno Smith, just as the Benetton flyer looked set to race away.
Glasgow then win a penalty.
Can they build some momentum as we head towards half-time?

Yet another unforced error from the visitors. Sintu Manzeji knocks on in the tackle.
This has been an inauspicious start to the Franco Smith era.

Glasgow play themselves into trouble again as George Horne's box-kick goes no distance at all.
Thankfully for the Glasgow scrum-half, Jack Dempsey does superbly to get over the ball and win a penalty.

Edoardo Padovani
Some lovely footwork from the ever dangerous Rhyno Smith sucks in Glasgow's defence.
Edoardo Padovani calls for it out wide and Giacomo Da Re finds him with a long, pinpoint pass. The winger coasts in to score unopposed.
Da Re's conversion drifts past the post - the lead is five points.

Glasgow lose possession, and are straight on the back foot, as Benetton kick in behind and turnover the ball.
Big chance for the hosts here...
