    George Horne

    What an impact from the wee man!

    Tom Jordan sets it up with a great aerial take, before offloading to Greg Peterson.

    The lock gets his head up, sees George Horne outside him, and the scrum-half burns away to score in the corner.

    He looks to convert his own try, but it comes up just short.

    Glasgow 24-20 Leinster

    Jack Boyle gets himself over the line, but is held up by Oli Kebble and Huw Jones.

    It's great defensive work, and the hosts can clear through a goal-line drop-out.

  5. Sin-bin Sebastian Cancelliere (Glasgow)published at 49 mins

    Glasgow 24-20 Leinster

    It's a yellow card for the Argentine, but just a penalty for Leinster, which Harry Byrne nudges into the corner.

    Big chance.

    Glasgow 24-20 Leinster

    Leinster look to go blind off the back of their lineout, but are thwarted by a Sebastian Cancelliere knock-on.

    The officials are looking at this to see whether it's deliberate and potentially stopping a try.

    Glasgow 24-20 Leinster

    Leinster clearly got something of a rocket at half-time.

    They have looked a different side since the restart, and have another lineout in Glasgow's 22.

    Lee Barron

    Lee Barron peels off the back of a maul, and crashes over to score Leinster's second try of the game.

    Harry Byrne adds the extras and it's now a four-point game.

    HT: Glasgow 24-13 Leinster

    Brilliant work from Rory Darge at the breakdown to win a penalty - seen that plenty of times in the last season or two.

    It means that Leinster have nothing to show for that late spell of pressure, and Glasgow take an 11-point lead into the break.

    Glasgow 24-13 Leinster

    Leinster are held up over the line, but they had a penalty advantage to fall back on.

    I was expecting a card there for repeated infringements, but referee Craig Evans keeps them in his pocket for now.

    With the clock in the red, Max Deegan wins a penalty for Leinster at the breakdown, and Harry Byrne kicks to the corner.

    Can they capitalise and go into the interval within touching distance?

    Angus Fraser

    Glasgow rumble over, and Angus Fraser scores on his first appearance at Scotstoun.

    The maul was such a productive source of points for the Warriors last season, and it worked perfectly for them there.

    Tom Jordan's kick slides wide though.

    Tom Jordan kicks a Glasgow scrum penalty to the corner.

    Big chance for a fourth try and a bonus point before half-time.

    Glasgow 19-13 Leinster

    Oli Kebble steps away from Liam Turner's attempted tackle and breaks the line.

    The big Glasgow prop is roared on by the home crowd, but gets ahead of himself and knocks-on under zero pressure.

    Probably just shocked by his own silky footwork.

    Huw Jones

    Wow! An unbelievable piece of improvisation from Stafford McDowall puts Huw Jones away to score.

    The ball bobbles out of the back of a Glasgow scrum to the feet of McDowall, and the Glasgow centre chips a deft kick over the top of the Leinster defensive line into the hands of the onrushing Jones.

    He hardly has to break stride, and pins his ears back to score the Warriors' third try.

    Tom Jordan adds the extras, and Glasgow have their lead back.
