    John Barclay
    Former Scotland captain on Viaplay

    It's better for Glasgow to have their reality check now than later in the season like they experienced last season in the quarter final, funnily enough against Munster

  3. 'Positives to take'published at 21:46 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2023

    FT: Munster 40-29 Glasgow Warriors

    Glasgow Warriors boss Franco Smith speaking to Viaplay Sports: "Everything I said before the game was true.

    "We know it was a big, important game for Munster especially after the victory last year. Defensively they have shown some really good reactions. It was all round a very good performance from them.

    "We are going to take a lot of positives from that game. We needed something like this to help us prepare for next week.

    "We proved that we can score but we gave away too many penalties tonight. There were small things, individual errors and as a collective we are going to have to rethink a few things.

    "But we will take a lot of positives from this and bounce back and see what we can use to do better."

    Munster played really well tonight but the turnovers were costly.

    Their maul defence is going to need a lot of work

    Everyone wants to take Glasgow down, they have a target on their back. They need to watch the discipline

    Tom Ahern played really well tonight and he is a great line-out option

    John Barclay

    The discipline was abysmal and it cost them.

    Glasgow have conceded 10 tries this season but tonight they conceded 6.

    Ask and you shall receive Ryan Wilson...

    With just a few minutes on the clock Angus Fraser touches down following a lineout maul and Duncan Weir finally nails his conversion.

    Will we see another from the visitors before full time?

    Glasgow need to pick up the pace to get 2 tries to get their bonus point...

    Glasgow have themselves another penalty but the referee plays the advantage before bringing it back.

    Duncan Weir kicks to the corner once again.

    Munster 40-22 Glasgow Warriors

    Glasgow Warriors are really pushing to try and narrow down this scoreline. A lengthy attack eventually comes to nothing as the ball is knocked on.

    Munster 40-22 Glasgow Warriors

    Sione Vailanu kicks into space and leads the charge after the ball and Glasgow do manage to win it back but they can't make it count and give away yet another penalty.

    Just under three minutes left on that Munster yellow card as well, Glasgow need to make this advantage count...

    Those points only count if you can keep Munster out and keep the penalty count down and they've just not done that.

    Munster respond by increasing the gap once again.

    They get themselves back into the Glasgow half and get themselves a penalty before John Hodnett crosses the line from close range.

    Jack Crowley doesn't miss with his conversion.

    Johnny Matthews gets the ball driving forward for Glasgow and he breaks to the touchline but there's no one there to help him.

    Glasgow have a penalty within 10 metres now, though...

    Another great maul set up by Glasgow. When Munster aren't clinical enough Glasgow are so dangerous.
