    Tom Jordan tries a cross-kick, but there's no Glasgow takers and Sebastian de Klerk boots down the field.

    He races after it, and beats Jordan to the ball, popping to Kriel from the deck. There's no knock on and the try will stand!

    The Bulls just starved them of oxygen. That all came from fine defence.

    This is getting very hairy for Glasgow now.

    Their error count is rocketing and that Bulls try had its origins in a silly spillage from Sione Vailanu after Glasgow had stolen a Bulls lineout.

    Sloppy and destructive. A 12-point game.

    I don't like the way this is going at all from a home perspective. Glasgow have none of their usual flair. They're injury-laden and flat. Line breaks are a rarity and they look like boxers on the ropes.

  3. Penaltypublished at 55 mins

    Glasgow Warriors 7-19 Bulls

    Glasgow's discipline stayed inside the sheds at half time. Alex Samuel has conceded a penalty inside his own 22m.

    That was after 5 ft 8 in George Horne was pinged for a high tackle on 6 ft 6in Jannes Kirsten from the restart.

    The hosts have fallen apart.

    Boan Venter

    Through one, through two, through three and over!

    Venter powers his way through the Zebre defence and reaches desperately for the line. A lifeline for the visitors.

    Ross Thompson can't add the extras. That could be costly.

    Johan Grobbelaar

    It looks like the Bulls' maul is heading into touch but the red scrum cap of Johan Grobbelaar turns inside and he's shunted towards the line by a few colleagues.

    Over the line he goes and the Bulls have clear daylight between themselves and their hosts.

    Johan Goosen slots from out wide. Of course he does.

    Glasgow Warriors 7-9 Bulls

    Another handling error from Glasgow, after they steal a throw in.

    An opportunity for the Bulls to make mincemeat of Glasgow's scrum, which they've done a few times tonight.

    Glasgow win a penalty, and they go for the corner. That was a kickable position.

    Instead, they miss touch! Disaster!

    Games are won and lost on moments like these.

    Has anyone told Clyde about Nigel Carolan's new Scotstoun moniker?

    After just three second-half minutes, Nathan McBeth and Patrick Schickerling are off.

    Jamie Bhatti and Sam Talakai are on. Can they deal with the Bulls scrum any better?

    That's us back under way at Scotstoun, too. Sione Vailanu is also on for the Warriors, replacing Jack Mann.

    The Bulls start brightly, but the Warriors defence is holding up at the moment.

    What a start to the second-half for the hosts!

    They go from right to left, then back again, and Simone Gesi bursts through a seam before popping out. It's then fizzed to Trulla, who goes over in the corner.

    The kick from Giacomo Da Re isn't bad either.

    The try was our sixth entry into the Bulls 22m, so I'm glad we came away with something. I've not seen the Bulls blitz as quickly as they have during this game.

    It's good we've figured out their defence but it was tiring by the end of the first half. They'll come out firing in the second half.

    How many times did they catch someone out the back and bury them? The boys wore a few sore shots, but we've figured it out.

    Glasgow's attacking DNA pays off, but kickable penalties are not their bag. They turned down a second one of the half and go for touch. Thankfully, they executed.

    Excellent skip pass from Stafford McDowall to finally break through a ferocious defence.

    Goosen's penalty to make it 9-7 Bulls is another reminder that Glasgow can't give away penalties in kicking range. Goosen is landing everything. This, you feel, is going to the wire.

    HT: Zebre 12-6 Edinburgh

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on Premier Sports

    The game management from Zebre, when they had the yellow card, was excellent and it lead to the try. There was passive defence from Edinburgh.

    Edinburgh were 35 minutes into the game without having much concerted pressure at all.

    The second Fusco try is so simple, yet again.

  15. Half-time Glasgow Warriors 7-9 Bullspublished at 20:26 British Summer Time 25 April

    It's the Bulls who have the lead at the 'slaughterhouse' thanks to the boot of Johan Goosen.

    Three of his penalties have his side ahead of the Warriors, despite Jamie Dobie's solitary score for Glasgow.

    A real wrestling match at times. Who will have more left in the tank with 10 minutes left?

    Reaction on the way.

    Glasgow's scrum goes down under pressure and the Bulls win another penalty.

    They could go for another scrum, force the issue, and maybe force Nathan McBeth from the pitch. Instead, Johan Goosen goes for the sticks.

    We know he has the distance, but it's not as central as he'd like...

    Well he's got the driver out! Nailed it!

    That's a beauty of a pass from Stafford McDowall.

    An absolute pearler.

  18. Half-time Zebre 12-6 Edinburghpublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 25 April

    Not the ideal first half for Edinburgh, then.

    They've gotten into a few good positions but have been unable to break through the Zebre lines.

    Meanwhile, Alessandro Fusco has poked two holes in the visiting defence with opportunistic scores of his own.

    Jamie Dobie

    He's only just on the pitch and he's scored!

    Stafford McDowall hurls a huge pass out to the left, Dobie flies onto it and scurries over. There's a TMO review, checking for a forward pass, but it doesn't last long.

    George Horne slots the kick - scoring his 501st point for the Warriors in the process.

    Alessandro Fusco

    More sniping from Fusco!

    This time it's on the back of a maul, as he receives the ball from his hooker just a few yards out and carries over. I thought you were a number nine?

    The kick from Da Re is off the post and over.
