Glasgow have come to life once again! A lovely wrap around from George Horne releases Kyle Steyn off at a gallop down the nearside.

A neck roll on the visitors and the attack comes to an end though.

Sharks seem to have woken up as they push Glasgow back to their 22. Unfortunately for them, a knock on hands Glasgow the put-in at the scrum.

The visitors have their first opportunity of the evening with a line-out just shy of the Glasgow five-metre mark, but it's very scrappy and a knock-on gives Warriors the put in at the scrum.

Henco Venter gives away Glasgow's first penalty of the evening for not rolling away as the South African looks to try and one up his former club.

With an advantage going their way, Glasgow are looking for quick ball and a gap in the South African defence...

Glasgow's Facundo Cordero is taken out in the air an, once again, we'll have a Glasgow line-out on the Sharks five-metre mark.

Sharks head coach John Plumtree will be wary of that penalty in the opening stages as once again Glasgow have a penalty and a kick to the corner.

A knock on in the line out and Sharks win a scrum on their own five meter line.

The hosts look to go for their trademark rolling maul, but Sharks are switched on and steal the ball in the line out.

Facundo Cordero tries to go cantering down the far side but is taken down by the visitors. Glasgow have the first penalty of the game after Sharks fail to release.

In stark contrast to so many games at Scotstoun this season, it's a beautiful evening for a game of rugby.

Sharks have been picking up steam in recent weeks - as Edinburgh have found to their cost - but with a load of Springbok stardust left back in South Africa, Glasgow have to be going all out for four points here - and maybe even five.

A top-two finish is well within their reach if they can finish the regular season strongly, starting here tonight.

Oli Kebble's 100th Warriors appearance will be a "huge compliment" to the prop, says head coach Franco Smith.

Kebble will reach the milestone should he come off the bench this evening.

"I'm very happy to be involved with Oli and to have him contributing for the hundredth time," Smith said.

"He's been a stalwart and a key part of the team for such a long time. To be rewarded with his 100th cap is a huge compliment to the big man."

The South Africa-born prop first made his debut for the club back in 2017 against Connacht.

Sharks head coach John Plumtree has named an entirely brand new starting XV to take on Warriors.

Many of their Springbok stars have been rested, including Lukhanyo Am, Makazole Mapimpi, Eben Etzebeth, Ox Nche, Bongi Mbonambi and Vincent Koch.

Grant Williams and Vincent Koch are the only two Springboks included.

Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith has made two changes to the side that lost 28-24 to Harlequins last time out.

Scotland co-captain Rory Darge drops out of the match day squad and is replaced at openside by Henco Venter. The rest of the pack is unchanged from the trip to London.

In the backs, Facundo Cordero comes in for Josh McKay, which sees Kyle Rowe switch to full-back.

Meanwhile, Oli Kebble could make his 100th appearance for the club if he comes off the bench.

Glasgow Warriors: Rowe, Steyn (capt), McDowall, Tuipulotu, Cordero, Jordan, Horne; McBeth, Matthews, Z Fagerson, Williamson, Cummings, M Fagerson, Venter, Dempsey.

Replacements: Hiddleston, Kebble, Sordoni, Manjezi, Miller, Gordon, Dobie, Thompson.

Sharks: Chamberlain; Keyter, Koster, Venter (capt), Dyantyi; Bosch, Williams; Mchunu, Jooste, Jacobs, Rahl, Grobler, Mavesere, Labuschagne, Hatton.

Replacements: Mbatha, Mona, Koch, van Heerden, Tshituka, Wright, Masuku, Hooker.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of tonight's round 14 of the United Rugby Championship as second-top Glasgow Warriors host 13th-placed Sharks.

This is the first time Sharks have made the trip to Glasgow since October 2021 and are coming with a point to prove. They previously beat fellow Scottish side Edinburgh and will be looking to carry that momentum.

Let's have a look at how the teams line up.
