FULL TIME: GLASGOW 27-10 STORMERS
Goal kicking costs the Stormers again as Libbok's yips returned at the worst time. The Stormers didn't have the right gameplan or mindset. Glasgow deserved this win.
CONVERSION, GLASGOW, HORNE, 27-10:
Horne kicks another conversion to add the icing for the Warriors.
TRY, GLASGOW, THOMPSON, 25-10:
Thompson charges down the kick and the Stormers cannot regather and he scores.
It has been announced that Horne is the man of the match and his efforts controlling the contest are deserving while his boot has been the difference between the sides.
Glasgow snatch the ball off the Stormers again and the momentum is right behind the Warriors now. Steyn bursts forward and from the next breakdown, they win another penalty and that should be the final nail in the Stormers coffin.
CONVERSION, GLASGOW, HORNE, 20-10:
Horne slots another kick.
TRY, GLASGOW, VENTER, 18-10:
Venter uses his great reach to stretch and score after Glasgow use the maul well again.
Glasgow are on the edge of the 22, and the throw to the lineout is perfect. The maul is good and it rumbles on and leads to another penalty.
The scrum goes down in midfield and it will be a Glasgow penalty on halfway but this is too far to kick in this wind, and Jordan nudges it into touch.
Jordan strains but gets through a gap to get Glasgow back on the front foot and threatening. The Stormers reorganize and this one looks like it will remain tight.
Libbok has rather incredibly missed another kick, banging this one into the uprights from a much easier angle.
TRY, STORMERS, DE WET, 13-10:
De Wet gets in to score as the Stormers come right back at Glasgow.
TRY, STORMERS, DE WET, 13-10:
De Wet gets in to score as the Stormers come right back at Glasgow.
Glasgow have to deal with a lineout throw five metres from their own line after a great kick from the Stormers.
CONVERSION, GLASGOW, HORNE, 13-5:
Crucially Horne adds the extras.
TRY, GLASGOW, CANCELLIERE, 11-5:
Tuipulotu dances through four tackles before offloading to the Cancelliere who breaks out of another tackle and lunges for the line to score.
Libbok misses the kick for the lead. That is his third miss of the night.
TRY, STORMERS, LOADER, 6-5:
The Stormers had been threatening and this time Feinberg-Mngomezulu spotted the gap that Glasgow offered and his offload is incredible allowing Loader to slide over in the corner.
TRY, STORMERS, LOADER, 6-5:
The Stormers had been threatening and this time Feinberg-Mngomezulu spotted the gap that Glasgow offered and his offload is incredible allowing Loader to slide over in the corner.
Mckay is forced to dot dead as a kick that looked long from Libbok just holds up enough. Glasgow Warriors dropout from the goal-line.
YELLOW CARD, STORMERS, MOERAT:
Well this is some call as Moerat is sin-binned for his clearout on Macbeth.
Play has to be halted as the Stormers threaten the Warriors 22 again. Macbeth is down after a rugby collision and will have to go off for an HIA.
GLASGOW SUBSTITUTIONS:
On: Nathan McBeth and George Turner
Off: Jamie Bhatti and Johnny Matthews
STORMERS SUBSTITUTIONS:
On: Andre-Hugo Venter, Marcel Theunissen, Neethling Fouche.
Off: Joseph Dweba, Willie Engelbrecht, Frans Malherbe.
Engelbrecht spills it as he is hit hard in the tackle on the Glasgow 22. The Stormers cough up the ball and play comes back for a scrum to Glasgow.
The Stormers repel the Glasgow attack after Jones ghosts through their line, he might have had a passing option there but winds up coughing up the ball as the Stormers counter-ruck strongly.
Steyn bursts away for Glasgow but gets a little isolated, however Jones wins it back or at least would have if the Stormers had not infringed. Glasgow have the penalty.
Glasgow start with intensity and fire and Dweba gets monstered in a clearout from Fagerson. The Warriors are moving forward with the ball in hand.
Libbok restarts the match and the weather seems to have eased over half time just a bit.
HALF TIME: GLASGOW 6-0 STORMERS
Glasgow have weathered a late storm to take a lead into the break. It will be interesting to see if the game changes in the second half given how much the wind has been a factor. Then Stormers might rue a pair of missed kicks.
The Stormers maul is stopped short of the line but there was no infringement says the referee. The Stormers keep coming in attack until a crossing penalty gives the Warriors the chance to clear their lines.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu produces another fine kick and while Jordan gets across to cover he opts not to kick and ends up being tackled into touch within five of his own line.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu turns Glasgow again but eventually Jordan provides a clearing kick that will take all the pressure off the hosts who are using the wind well in the first half of this match.
Hartzenburg snatches the restart for the Stormers but as they try to attack Libbok's kick in behind is too deep for Loader and eventually Glasgow scramble it clear.
PENALTY, GLASGOW, HORNE, 6-0:
Horne slots the penalty after the Stormers are blown up at scrumtime. Not sure that was the right call but Horne is good from the tee and Glasgow lead by six.
Glasgow have another attacking chance from a lineout deep in the Stormers half but Matthews feeds it skew and the Stormers will have the scrum feed.
Glasgow are the team who look more composed even if the conditions are making it hard for either side to play in their usual manner.
Steyn survives a review where the officials appeared desperate to find something to clear him. In the meantime, Libbok has lined up the penalty. He has also missed the penalty and this could be a major problem for the Stormers.
Steyn has gone into a high-ball situation recklessly and taken out Gelant and the TMO wants the referee to have another look at this one and Glasgow could be in trouble here.
PENALTY, GLASGOW, HORNE, 3-0:
Glasgow make quick work of getting back down into the Stormers half and it tells as they give away a penalty. Horne steps up to slot the kick for the hosts to give them and early lead.
Libbok lines up the shot at goal kicking into the wind but it is a tough ask and his effort is wayward. Perhaps the Stormers should have looked to play the game deeper in the Glasgow half.
Dayimani gets the crucial turnover for the Stormers and it is eventually a double blow as the Stormers first scramble it clear then win a penalty soon after the lineout with Fagerson caught away from his support.
Tuipulotu gets used as a battering ram and now Glasgow have the front foot ball they want but they will be desperate to finish something off after a frustrating start.
The Stormers still cannot find a way out of their own 22. They get the ball to Libbok and he finds a decent touch but Glasgow have the feed and the chance to make the Stormers pay.
Glasgow would be in for a try but for the last pass going a little too high. Massive let-off for the Stormers who have been under the pump from the word go and haven't really fired a shot of their own yet.
The Stormers aggressive defence makes it hard for Glasgow to get any forward momentum. They wind up going back 30 metres in possession with the hits coming thick and fast. However a tactical kick helps Glasgow as the Stormers knock on and they have another setpiece in the opposition half.
The Stormers don't hold their discipline on defence and a side entry allows Glasgow to set up another lineout, this one deeper into the Stormers half.
After a cagey start Jantjies makes the first real mistake of the match, he boots his box kick straight out of play. Glasgow will get a chance to have a go at the Stormers from the lineout.
