    Really good execution of the lineout play down the front. It's great hands from Ali Price to free Kyle Steyn, and he's got good pace and power.

    Is it too little, too late?

    Kyle Steyn

    A lifeline for Glasgow!

    Rory Darge, finally on the park, darts down the short side after a lineout, and offloads to Ali Price, also on as a replacement.

    The Scotland scrum-half finds Kyle Steyn on his left shoulder, and he weaves his way in and out of a few would-be tacklers to score.

    It's a wonderful finish from the captain, and George Horne addas the extras.

    How they needed that!

    Johnny Matthews, you are a lucky, lucky boy.

    His lineout throw sails over all his teammates, and Charles Ollivon pounces to score from a few yards out.

    Luckily for Glasgow, the French flanker was offside and the try is chalked off.

    Glasgow are self-destructing. This is a horror-show, a catastrophe, a shambles.

    Cancelliere came on a short line when he's got 15m outside him. Just let Ollie Smith go into that space and go on the outside. He's on the outside of his defender. It's a two on one.

    Again Warriors come away with nothing.

    Glasgow have to score, and somehow don't.

    All Sebastian Cancelliere has to do is hold his width, and he has a walk-in, but he inexplicably comes infield and gets in Ollie Smith's way.

    As my colleague has just said, that's schoolboy stuff.

    Glasgow could, probably should, have scored a few tries of their own tonight.

    Glasgow 0-21 Toulon

    Mathieu Bastareaud is on for Baptiste Serin, who injured himself in the closing stages of the first half - yet to see who is lining up at scrum-half for Toulon.

    Another Glasgow chance goes begging as a maul goes to ground, and the French side get the decision.

    It must be absolutely infuriating for Glasgow fans.

    Glasgow have flown out of the blocks - Franco Smith's words ringing in their ears.

    They win a penalty inside the Toulon 22, which Domingo Miotti kicks into the corner.

    Not starting Richie Gray has backfired on Franco Smith big time. When is he going to bring him, Rory Darge, and Jonny Matthews on?

    I think that would give them a chance.

    It was dreadful from Glasgow. Handling errors through the roof, lineout an absolute catastrophe, no composure, getting in each other's way.

    When it went to 14-0, Glasgow were panic-struck. They started forcing it.

    It comes to nothing - Domingo Miotti's kick is too far in front of Sebastian Cancelliere.

    A half to forget for Glasgow, who you expect will be getting a rocket from Franco Smith very shortly.

    They've had their pants pulled down...

    A big scrum wins Glasgow a much-needed penalty just inside Toulon's 22.

    Have to make it count before half-time - they opt for another scrum...

    Both sides have had five visits to the opposition 22 now.

    Glasgow have zero points, Toulon have 21 - says it all.

    Zander Fagerson knocks-on from the base of a ruck, and Toulon celebrate like they've scored themselves.

    Your internationals simply have to be better than that in crunch situations.

    Waisea Vuidravuwalu boots clear from the base of a ruck, but it just goes out on the full, brushing the whitewash as it lands.

    Glasgow have a lineout inside Toulon territory, and a chance to make something happen.
