    FT: Glasgow 28-25 Munster

    That's all from me tonight as Glasgow close the gap to league-leaders Leinster with a bonus-point win against Munster.

    Franco Smith's side were far from their best, but Nathan McBeth's late try proved to be the decisive score.

    Leinster are away to Pretoria Bulls on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

  2. 'We were our own enemies for most of it' - Smith

    FT: Glasgow 28-25 Munster

    Glasgow head coach Franco Smith tells Premier Sports:

    "Fortunately we got it done, even if we made it hard for ourselves again.

    "We were our own enemies for most of it, but I'm happy to win even if it wasn't our best performance.

    "We've had more than 20 boys away with the national team, only had two sessions leading up to this game. We need to add these boys to gel again. Next week the rest of the boys will come back and we'll face the same challenges.

    "We missed touch three times from penalties, lost the gain-line most of the time tonight, couldn't get our attack shape, but credit to Munster - they are a well-coached team. We'll take that compliment in winning anyway tonight."

  4. FT: Glasgow 28-25 Munster

    Glasgow wing and player of the match Sebastian Cancelliere tells Premier Sports: "We knew they would come after us after losing against Edinburgh, but we needed to bounce back as well after losing against Ospreys. The boys showed character."

    Glasgow captain Kyle Steyn adds: "It's always tough against Munster so it's good to get the win."

    There are no pictures on the scoreboard, and it's five points for Glasgow.

    It wasn't slick but the bench made a big impact and Glasgow found a way to win.

    A big result.

  13. Glasgow 21-25 Munster

    Sebastian Cancelliere looks certain to score after Ben Afshar drops a box kick into open field, but the ball bounces over his head and Munster somehow survive.

    Munster are taking their time over every set-piece and every clearing kick, much to the frustration of the home crowd.

    Converted try Glasgow 14-25 MUNSTER

    Sean O'Brien

    That might be a telling blow.

    Centre Tom Farrell appears to be heading only towards the touchline but he offloads cleverly inside for Sean O'Brien and the visiting wing evades four would-be tacklers to score his second try of the game.
