FT: Glasgow 20-9 Stormers
Glasgow head coach Franco Smith on Viaplay:
"The amount of opportunities we created [was a positive]. Disappointed we couldn't get the fourth try but our guys really stayed in the fight.
"I feel there were a lot of the same errors as last week, but now we go on to the next game."
FT: Glasgow 20-9 Stormers
Glasgow centre Sione Tuipulotu has been named player of the match, and has been giving his thoughts to Viaplay:
"It's nice to come home and we got a win against a pretty decent side.
"We didn't have to do much defending tonight because the forwards really stood up, especially at set-piece. There's still a lot to work on and hopefully we can kick on.
"Franco wasn't too happy about last week so we got a bit of a kick up the bum in training."

With time ticking away, Stormers cannot afford errors like that.

Glasgow look to their rolling maul again, but it comes to a halt well short of the Stormers line.

If Glasgow are to get over the line here then I'm sure Franco Smith will highlight their defence as the reason.
The Warriors have stood up well to everything the Stormers have thrown at them in this second half.
Having ridden out the storm, can they press on and secure that bonus point with a fourth try?

Just under 10 minutes left at Scotstoun.
How are the nerves?

You could cut the tension at Scotstoun with a knife.
Glasgow's Lucio Sordoni gives away a penalty for a no-arms tackle, but Stormers miss touch and Glasgow can come forward.

Stormers just will not go away here.
They make their way into Glasgow's 22 again, and the hosts need another big defensive set.

Big moment in the game, as Glasgow win a penalty against the head and kick downfield.
That has the potential to be a big momentum swing.

Stormers have opted for a scrum under the posts, but it's been reset countless times now.
Get on with it!

Can the Warriors keep them out?

Jean-Luc du Plessis punches a hole in the Glasgow defensive line, but Zander Fagerson slows the play down well before Stormers kncok-on.
That was a real chance for the visitors.

Brilliant defence from Stormers forces a Glasgow knock-on, and both Evan Roos and Joseph Dweba return to the fray.
