  2. 'Lots of work to do' - Cancellierepublished at 22:07 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2022

    FT: Glasgow 26-18 Perpignan

    Glasgow winger Sebastian Cancelliere, who scored the bonus point try has been talking to BBC Radio Scotland:

    "Glad to get the bonus point, but there's a lot of work to do," he said.

    "I think some parts of the game were really messy, but we have to work to be consistent for 80 minutes. There were lots of turnovers, we knew that that was their strength. We have to be better for next week.

    [On the upcoming games against Edinburgh]: "Big games ahead now," Cancelliere added. "We are going to focus all our attention on Edinburgh. It's a derby and we want to win those games. Hopefully we can have a good game at Scotstoun."

  3. 'We played them off their feet in the first 20' - Smithpublished at 22:02 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2022

    FT: Glasgow 26-18 Perpignan

    Glasgow head coach Franco Smith has been giving his thoughts to Viaplay post-match:

    "Really happy with a bonus point victory," he said, "but we were way inaccurate.

    "Lots of the players haven't played that much after the Autumn Nations series. It was always difficult to blend the guys back in. I'm very excited that we've got the five points.

    "We tried to slow it down regarding our set-piece. We just overplayed, our DNA says we want to play - sometimes the best way to resolve things is by playing less.

    "I felt the first 20 minutes, we played them off their feet - that was the plan, to get their tight five tired. We started giving away soft penalties. Evenings like that are to keep learning and to grow from it.

    "We've built an understanding of what we want to do, now it's just about becoming more accurate and having more control."

    It was a little bit laboured. They allowed Perpignan back in, but credit Glasgow with some bottle, some composure when they needed to show it.

    Glasgow 26-18 Perpignan

    Perpignan knock-on, and Glasgow have their second win from two games in the European Challenge Cup.

    That wasn't exactly vintage stuff in the second half, but a win's a win.

    We'll have reaction for you as and when it comes.

    Glasgow finally go wide with men queuing up to score, and they secure the bonus point try!

    It's a four against one down the right-hand side, and Josh McKay times his pass well to put Sebastian Cancelliere away to score.

    Tom Jordan, off the bench, drags the conversion attempt well wide.

    A brilliant kick-chase from the restart from Rufus McLean holds up his man, and allows the forwards to pile in.

    Glasgow tie the ball up and win the scrum feed inside Perpignan's 22.

    This is a huge chance...

    Peter Wright's pal Dorian Laborde kicks the penalty, and the lead is cut to just three points.

    A scrum penalty goes the way of Perpignan after Glasgow are deemed to have pre-engaged.

    Perpginan's six-man scrum was clever, or cynical, there, depending on your viewpoint.

    They seemed to pull away at the point of contact, and the referee bought it.

    Glasgow need to remember they're two men up. You don't have to kick for the sake of kicking. Play a bit more heads up.

    An excellent steal from Simon Berghan wins possession back for Glasgow, but the ball spills loose and it's back with the visitors.

    It's been so scrappy since half-time.

    Glasgow secure a vital free-kick after Perpignan engage early.

    Fraser Brown reckons that should be a penalty - I'm inclined to agree with him considering he knows a lot more about scrummaging than me.

    Glasgow 21-15 Perpignan

    Glasgow are forced back into their own in-goal area, and Perpignan force a scrum on Glasgow's 5m line.

    It's all happening at Murrayfield - there's steam coming off my keyboard.

    Posolo Tuilagi was also sin-binned for his part in that penalty try, so Glasgow will now be playing against 13 men for the next nine minutes or so.

    They have to make this count and secure a bonus point.

    The maul is hauled down as it rumbles towards the Perpignan line, and the referee marches under the posts to award Glasgow a penalty try.

    Much better.

    Glasgow hammer Perpignan back, and the visitors rather cynically slow the play down.

    The big lock forward is shown yellow, and Glasgow will come again...

    Better from Glasgow.

    They make their way into the Perpignan 22, and win a penalty which Duncan Weir kicks into the corner.

    A rather indignant fan roars out, "come on Glasgow".

    They might have listened...

    Ali Price takes the dummy from the scrum-half. That's shocking from an international player.

    Lucas Dubois

    Hello. Glasgow need to wake up here, and quickly.

    Boris Goutard snipes down the side of a ruck, and finds Lucas Dubois on his right-hand shoulder.

    Dubois skips away from a desperate attempt at a tap-tackle, and sprints clear to score.

    The conversion sails over, Perpignan lead, and their little pocket of fans wave their yellow and red flags in delight.
