  2. 'Everyone has bought in' - Smithpublished at 19:36 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    FT: Glasgow 73-33 Dragons

    Glasgow head coach Franco Smith has also been giving his thoughts to Viaplay after another hugely impressive result from his side:

    "Good to have got the result," he said. "We didn't get the restarts done which allowed Dragons in, so there's work to be done, but offensively we were good.

    "We've got to stay focused. We're going to play some top teams going forward, and we take the best from this game into next week.

    "The way Allan Dell slacked off [for Johnny Matthew's second try] was very good. As a prop, he dropped his pace and allowed people to catch up.

    "I've been criticised before for being too attack focused. We want to avoid giving away tries, but it was important at the start of the season to look at Glasgow's DNA, and that is attacking rugby - I think everyone has bought into that."

    Johnny Matthews was always going to be Player of the Match, but praise too for George Horne.

    Electric with ball in hand, always in support, accurate off the tee - the heartbeat of this Glasgow side.

  4. Player of the Matchpublished at 19:26 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    FT: Glasgow 73-33 Dragons

    Here's the man of the moment and the Player of the Match, Johnny "five tries" Matthews:

    "All the credit's got to go to the boys at the front of the maul, they did all the work and I've just been on the end of it.

    "It's great, you don't do it for the records but I'm buzzing. The main thing is that we're into the quarter-finals. We got ourselves into positions where we could execute.

    "It's brilliant for us to get through, but we won't get ahead of ourselves. We'll reset and go again next week.

    "Some of the tries we scored, fantastic team tries as well as the forwards doing the work up front."

    Glasgow 66-26 Dragons

    Glasgow's scrum-half deliberately slows down Dragons ball and is shown yellow.

    The visitors want to at least finish strongly here.

    Glasgow 66-26 Dragons

    Glasgow's support lines have been so impressive all afternoon.

    So many players offering themselves, and Dragons have had no answer.

    Kyle Steyn

    Try number ten for Glasgow!

    Dummy runners aplenty, but George Horne fools everyone and darts down the blind-side.

    Kyle Steyn is in support, and Horne times the pass perfectly to put his captain away to score.

    The conversion slides wide on this occasion.

    Glasgow 61-26 Dragons

    Lucio Sordoni gets over the ball to win Glasgow a penalty on halfway.

    The hosts kick into Dragons' 22, but it's a long way out for the rolling maul.

    Still a good chance though...

    One to keep an eye on in the last 15 minutes.

    Glasgow's highest ever points total in a game is 70, against Zebre in the 2015/16 season.

    10 more to get...

    Glasgow 61-26 Dragons

    Dragons have a rare bit of possession and territory, but Glasgow just about survive, and clear via a goal-line drop-out.

    Huw Jones

    I'm struggling to keep up here - Glasgow are running riot!

    This might be the best of the lot you know. Rory Darge picks a gap and finds Kyle Steyn on his left shoulder.

    Glasgow's captain finds George Horne, who does superbly to offload to Huw Jones, and the centre is positively beaming as he saunters over to score Glasgow's ninth try of the game.

    Horne knocks over the conversion once more.

    They are in again!

    Jack Dempsey breaks a tackle, offloads to Ollie Smith and Cole Forbes is in support to streak clear and score under the posts.

    George Horne makes no mistake from slap bang in front.

    Another Glasgow lineout, another Glasgow rolling maul, and another Glasgow try!

    George Turner couldn't let Johnny Matthews have all the fun, and crashes over to score.

    George Horne adds the extras.

    Incredible stuff.

    Just when Dragons start to make ground from a rolling maul of their own, Rory Darge gets hold of the ball-carrier and wins Glasgow a scrum.

    He's so, so good.

    Franco Smith brings off his entire front row, which means that Johnny Matthews trots off.

    He's rightly given a standing ovation, but he'd have been desperate to stay out there and potentially grab one of two more.

    Elliot Dee, on as a replacement for Dragons, smashes over from close range.

    Over goes the conversion too.
