Glasgow Warriors, leaders, with 12 wins from 16
Lions, 10th, have eight wins
FT: Lions 44-21 Glasgow
That's all from me on live text duties today, as Glasgow fall to a humbling defeat in Johannesburg, a result that sees them drop to third place in the URC.
Thanks for your company. Catch you later.
Lions 44-21 Glasgow
Glasgow cough up possession, the ball is booted into the stands and a miserable afternoon for the Warriors finally comes to an end.
Lions 44-21 Glasgow
Glasgow have possession from the restart and are looking for a bonus-point try that would see them take at least a point back to Scotland.
Hanru Sirgel
Hanru Sirgel ghosts through a gaping hole in the Glasgow defence for Lions' sixth try of the game.
This is an afternoon that Glasgow will want to quickly put behind them - they have been absolutely battered in Johannesburg.
Sanele Nohamba
Sanele Nohamba takes his time over the most straightforward of penalties, but makes no mistake from bang in front.
Lions 36-21 Glasgow
Glasgow are pinged for offside as their stretched defence is forced into yet another error.
I have to keep reminding myself that Lions are playing with 14.
Lions 36-21 Glasgow
Lions are hammering on the Glasgow door here.
They want to finish with a flourish.
Lions 36-21 Glasgow
Glasgow look to run it from deep inside their own half, but a careless pass goes to ground and Josh McKay knocks-on as he attempts to gather.
They have been miles below the high standards they have set themselves this season.
Josh McKay
Josh McKay crashes over from close range after a sustained spell of possession, but surely it's too little, too late...
The conversion is good - Glasgow need 16 unanswered points in just under 11 minutes.
Lions 36-14 Glasgow
Watching this, you would not know that Lions were the team down a man.
Glasgow look absolutely out on their feet.
As I type, the Warriors cough up a penalty at the breakdown. Nothing is going right for Franco Smith's side.
Sanele Nohamba
This is getting really embarrassing for Glasgow.
Sanele Nohamba reads Duncan Weir's pass, flies out of the line and has a clear run under the posts.
He converts his own score and Glasgow's winless run in South Africa will go on.
Lions 29-14 Glasgow
Eight minutes ago, Glasgow led by six points.
How quickly a game can turn on its head.
JC Pretorius
Glasgow are getting absolutely torn apart by a Lions side that are down a man.
It's another brilliant team try. Morne van den Berg makes the initial break before some gorgeous offloading puts Erich Cronje away down the right.
He unselfishly passes inside to JC Pretorius, and the Lions flanker goes under the posts.
The conversion is good, and the hosts lead by 15 points.
Rabz Maxwane
Wow.
From absolutely nowhere, Lions score again.
The hosts pinch possession from a Glasgow ruck, and take full advantage as Rabz Maxwane races away to score out wide.
Sanele Nohamba adds the extras, and Glasgow have it all to do in Joburg.
Edwill van der Merwe
A wonderful individual score pegs Glasgow back.
Edwill van der Merwe gets the ball out wide after Glasgow cough up possession in the hosts' 22, and the winger races after his own chip over the top to score under the posts.
The conversion is good and momentum swings back towards Lions.
Lions 8-14 Glasgow
The bounce of the ball saves Glasgow.
Right when Lions looked nailed on to score, the ball takes a wild bounce to the side and evades the onrushing Quan Horn.
Euan Ferrie
The pressure tells and Glasgow lead once more.
The forwards go through the phases and eventually Euan Ferrie crashes his way over from close range.
It's not a try that will make an end-of-season highlights reel, but Glasgow won't care in the slightest.
George Horne's conversion sails through.
Lions 8-7 Glasgow
Another penalty goes Glasgow's way after a late tackle, and Duncan Weir belts the ball deep into the Lions 22.
Big chance for the Warriors.
Lions 8-7 Glasgow
Despite their numerical disadvantage, it's been Lions who have had the possession and territory so far in the second half.
Glasgow win a penalty at the breakdown though and will look to start an attack of their own.
Lions 8-7 Glasgow
Duncan Weir kicks long, and we are back under way.
Kyle Rowe got Glasgow's opening try

Glasgow Warriors missed the chance to return to the top of the United Rugby Championship after losing heavily to a depleted Lions side in Johannesburg.
Kyle Rowe hacked a loose ball through, gathered cleanly and scored Glasgow's opening try and George Horne converted.
Lions had to play the following 10 minutes a player down after Ruan Venter, who had replaced Emmanuel Tshituka early on, was shown a yellow card for a late tackle on Tom Jordan.
Rowe, tightly clutching the ball, thought he had scored again while being tackled by two Lions players but the TMO ruled there had been no grounding.
Jordan Hendrikse kicked Lions' first points with a penalty.
And, from a Glasgow penalty inside the Lions 22, the visitors fell behind for the first time as Rabz Maxwane was released on the right to touch down.
The hosts then lost Venter for the rest of the match after he caught Jordan high and was shown a red card.
Lions' discipline continued to let them down as Francke Horn was sin binned for a deliberate knock on.
Warriors found a way through early in the second period as Euan Ferrie touched down just over the line and Horne converted.
But Glasgow again conceded from an attacking position. Lions got a turnover after Rowe had been held up near the line and Edwill van der Merwe chased his own chip to go over behind the posts. Replacement Sanele Nohamba converted.
And it only got worse for the visitors as Maxwane finished a sweeping move on the right and Nohamba added another two points.
Lions smelled a bonus point and got one when JC Pretorius took Erich Cronje's pass and ended another enterprising move on the right, with Nohamba's conversion creating a 15-point gap.
Nohamba intercepted a Duncan Weir pass to speed away and score the hosts' fifth try under the posts before converting.
Play off-bound Glasgow were stunned but Josh McKay went over from Sione Tuipulotu's offload and replacement Weir converted to bring Franco Smith's side back to within 15 points.
However, Nohamba's penalty quelled any realistic chance of a comeback and Hanru Sirgel clambered over for a late sixth try.
Glasgow finish the weekend fourth in the standings, level on points with off Leinster and three points off leaders Munster.
