There have been so many near-misses already in this game.

Dracy Graham is hauled down just short after a mazy run, before Cardiff's defence stands strong in the face of multiple strong carries.

Edinburgh now have a scrum five metres out and will try again.

A really good game this.

Gabriel Hamer-Webb must think he's going to score from a clever kick through, but Ali Price does superbly to get back and secure possession.

Duhan van der Merwe gets put into open space after a strong carry from Matt Currie, but the giant winger's pass inside doesn't go to hand and Cardiff just about scramble back.

Back on the field, Cardiff are into Edinburgh's 22 for the first time.

However, scrum-half Aled Davies loses it forward slightly unfortunately and Edinburgh will have a scrum and a chance to clear their lines.

Edinburgh: Goosen, Graham, Currie, Tuipulotu, Van der Merwe, Thompson, Price; Venter, Harrison, Rae, Sykes, Gilchrist, Crosbie, Muncaster, Bradbury.

With the quick turnaround between the two games today, and a match report to write, I appreciate there wasn't much build-up to this one.

With a slight lull in play, here's a look at the teams...

Through it goes, and Edinburgh deservedly lead.

Edinburgh keep the ball for phase after phase, and win a penalty with the Cardiff defence stretched.

Ross Thompson will kick at goal.

We are up and running in the second game of the afternoon...

Glasgow captain Sione Tuipulotu tells Premier Sports: "Massively proud of the effort, but we came here to win this game.

"We put ourselves in a position to do that, but there were a couple of moments we let slip and they will punish you for that.

"There was a period after half-time where we lost the kicking battle a little bit. We'll try to take what we did in the last 10 minutes into next week."

We'll try get you some reaction from Durban shortly, before we turn our attentions to our second game of the afternoon, as Edinburgh host Cardiff.

Stay with us!

Yes, Glasgow will think they could have won that if their discipline had been a bit tighter, but they can take huge heart from that result and performance.

To score four tries and come so close against a team packed with Springboks is credit to them.

Some rushed hands means the attack breaks down, but Sharks are pinged for offside and Adam Hastings goes to the corner once more.

Adam Hastings kicks a penalty to the corner.

Can Glasgow finish with a flourish?

A clever lineout routine allows Johnny Matthews to make ground down the left wing for Glasgow, but a handling error follows and Sharks are in no hurry for the upcoming scrum.

Franco Smith's side have battled valiantly this afternoon, but the sheer quality and physicality of this Sharks side has worn them down.

Glasgow won't go down without a fight.

Aphelele Fassi thinks he's put Eduan Keyter away in the corner, but some brilliant scramble defence from Tom Jordan and Henco Venter hauls him into touch.

The resulting penalty sails through, and that might be a telling blow.
