    Glasgow 7-12 Bulls

    Bulls play themselves into real bother, but somehow escape unscathed.

    Willie le Roux has two Glasgow defenders right in his face on his own line after receiving an unsympathetic pass, but it goes forward off a Warriors hand.

    Glasgow's defence is wide open and Willie le Roux cruises under the posts after good work from Sebastian de Klerk.

    The conversion is good and Bulls lead by five.

    Glasgow 7-5 Bulls

    I thought the half-time break at Scotstoun had gone on for ages.

    Turns out the coverage I'm watching had dropped out.

    Thankfully, I don't appear to have missed much beyond a change for Glasgow - Jamie Bhatti is off after his struggles at the scrum with Nathan McBeth on.

    A couple of interested spectators this evening before Scotland's autumn internationals.

    Mr Townsend definitely spotted the photographer.

    Most of the game has been Glasgow.

    Sione Tuipulotu has been involved in absolutely everything.

    An attempted penalty goal dies in front of the Glasgow posts and the Warriors head into the break two points in front.

    Finely poised.

    Referee Craig Evans is chatting to Glasgow captain Kyle Steyn about Jamie Bhatti.

    A few penalties have gone against the home prop now at scrum time - "the next one will be yellow" warns Evans.

    Sam Talakai is on in the Glasgow front row for Murphy Walker.

    It appears to be an injury for the starting prop.

    Just under two minutes to half-time.

    Can either side wrestle the upper hand?

    Hoping I didn't jinx it when I predicted there would be more tries!

    The defence from both sides is pretty impressive. Big hits are going in but both sides are filling the field well and space is a lot harder to find than in those opening exchanges.

    Brilliant from Glasgow skipper Kyle Steyn who flies up in defence, hits Bulls centre David Kriel hard and forces a knock on.

    Jeandre Rudolph gets over the ball at the breakdown and halts a Glasgow attack almost as soon as it had started.

    Not much happening.

    After that frantic start, during which the Scotstoun crowd was at its raucous best, the game has slowed down somewhat.

    That's largely due to the number of errors that have crept in, particularly from Glasgow.

    Their handling has been sloppy and it's undermining their efforts to stretch the Bulls defence.

    Glasgow flanker Matt Fagerson knocks on at a lineout.

    The home side will feel they should lead by more given the possession and territory they have had.

    The first real lull in this game.

    I suppose it was inevitable after the blistering start we had.

    That's a bit sloppy though.

    Glasgow engage early at the scrum and gift Bulls a free-kick.

    And the visitors can't deal with Glasgow's defensive intensity.

    Matt Fagerson delivers a thunderous hit, drives Bulls back and Glasgow will have a scrum after holding the ball in contact.

    Adam Hastings drops a lovely kick into the corner.

    Bulls will have to exit from deep inside their own 22.

    The ball-in-play time must be off the scale.

    Glasgow are attacking with a precision and a speed that’s utterly joyous.

    Gregor Brown is having a thunderous game. Good Lord, the guy is everywhere. Another one who surely has to be in Scotland’s 23 for the All Blacks

    Adam Hastings is clattered in a rib-rattling tackle, but the ball went forward off a Bulls hand and Glasgow have a scrum on the 22m line.
