    Glasgow 21-3 Zebre

    A sloppy start to the second half for Zebre as Giampietro Rimbaldi's lineout throw is called not straight by referee Griffin Colby.

    The Italian side come forward again, but a handling error brings an end to the attack.

    HT: Glasgow 21-3 Zebre

    The players are back out ready for the second half at Scotstoun.

    I've fixed myself some sausage pasta and a warm beverage during the break, so I'm well fuelled for the next 40 minutes...

    So none of the sloppiness in Glasgow's game that allowed Zebre to make a game of it when the sides met back in May.

    Warriors have not been spectacular but are firmly in control and it would be something of a miracle if they fail to secure the maximum five points here.

    Jack Dempsey has had some monstrous carries, Jamie Dobie and Huw Jones finished their tries well and there's a sense that as comfortable as they are, Glasgow can move it up a few gears if required.

    In other news, there's a very entertaining game of touch rugby going on at half-time. End-to-end stuff!

    Huw Jones

    Glasgow hammer on the Zebre door and eventually Huw Jones finds a way through.

    It's patient stuff again from Franco Smith's side, going through the phases, stretching the Zebre defence and then finding a gap.

    Adam Hastings continues his perfect record off the tee.

    Giacomo Da Re

    After the ball falls off his tee, Giacomo da Re keeps his head to put it back in place and split the posts before the timer reached zero.

    Zebre are on the board.

    Glasgow 14-0 Zebre

    Glasgow are starting to really assert their dominance here.

    Jamie Dobie

    Stafford McDowall sends Jamie Dobie over in the corner for Glasgow's second try, but it was all about the initial break.

    Huw Jones bursts through a tackle, before George Horne exchanges passes with Kyle Rowe.

    He's stopped just short, but Glasgow keep their cool, and score a couple of phases later.

    Adam Hastings adds the extras from out wide.

    Johnny Matthews

    There he is!

    Glasgow stay patient, and eventually their maul starts rolling menacingly towards the Zebre line.

    The visitors can't stop it, and Johnny Matthews goes through the middle to score.

    He has two hat-tricks and a double in his last three home games against Zebre, just in case you were wondering...

    Adam Hastings converts.

    Glasgow 0-0 Zebre

    Simone Gesi skips past one defender and makes his way into the Glasgow 22, but the Zebre winger is eventually hauled into touch.

    Promising from the Italian visitors, but the Warriors' cover defence has the answers.
