    Glasgow Warriors boss Franco Smith speaking to Viaplay Sports: "We are really pleased with the victory. Scoring four tries in these conditions was also very important.

    "I am so satisfied with the way we played.

    "I think Benetton played really well and we made a lot of errors.

    "The players didn't want to disappoint but credit to Benetton there is a reason why they were not beaten before tonight.

    "The players show their hearts, our defence stands out and I think we just need to get the confidence back.

    "I am really pleased with the way the players worked for one another."

    A change for Franco Smith with just under five minutes left of the half.

    Their last replacement sees Ross Thompson come on - Glasgow fans I'm sure happy to see him back on the field after his struggles with injuries - with Tom Jordan giving way.

    It doesn't look like they can.

    Glasgow's back line are holding so firm despite a promising Benetton attack and eventually Sean Kennedy kicks the ball clear.

    The final change for Benetton as Gideon Koegelenberg comes on for Niccolo Cannone.

    With ten minutes left to play, can they make something of this game?

    What did I tell you?

    What can't this man do?

    A great ball by Josh McKay for George Horne, he steps back inside his man and finishes it off nicely.

    He steps up to take the conversion as well and doesn't miss this time round.

    Stafford McDowall steams through the Benetton back line. It looked like he was going to go all the way but he's stopped just short of the five metre line.

    That was impressive.

    After a mishit from Benetton, Sebastian Cancelliere urges his side to play the ball quickly and they take full advantage.

    George Horne can't quite manage the conversion which sails past the post.
