00:00Thanks Ross, they'll certainly be taking a few deep breaths after that first 40.
00:06Five tries scored by Glasgow and we're really seeing the depth of their squad here.
00:11Bear in mind, there's just one player playing for Glasgow tonight
00:15who is wearing the same number on his back as he did a week ago, that's Josh Mackay.
00:21But Hugh Jones, his first appearance of the season
00:26and playing alongside Tioni Turpilottu in the midfield.
00:29It's the first time they've played together competitively since the summer,
00:34the Test match for Scotland against the United States in July.
00:40Well, they're wearing 22.
00:42Tinus De Beer is on.
00:44Another alteration that's been made is Ed Byrne
00:48is on on the loose head side of the scrum in place of Corey Domichowski.
00:56Carried there by Jack Dempsey.
01:03That's huge. What a carry from the start.
01:06Look at the ground he's made.
01:11Can win it.
01:17Also, you can see they're wearing 21.
01:20Ellis Bevan, who started for Wales
01:24throughout the summer on their tour.
01:31There's Bevan.
01:32Onto Tinus De Beer.
01:34De Beer is through now.
01:36And there's the offload.
01:38Bevan, cunning infield.
01:42Then Thomas, looking for support inside, but there was a foot in touch.
01:47Instant impact from Tinus De Beer.
01:49Played virtually every game last year.
01:52Yet to take the field.
01:54Just outside, Johnny Matthew, hand off.
01:58And maybe gave it a little bit early to Ellis Bevan.
02:03But I think it was the right time to get the subs on.
02:08The 9 and 10.
02:12Also, you can see they're wearing 18.
02:14Rhys Litterick.
02:17And Evan Lloyd as well.
02:20Matt Sherratt.
02:22Not quite emptying the bench, but going pretty close to it at half time.
02:30I think there's no other option.
02:3221 points behind.
02:34You have to roll the dice and try something different.
02:37In Cardiff, I think they're going to have to change up their game plan a little bit.
02:40They can't keep trying to get the ball wide because that Glasgow defence
02:44is so good, it's just eating them up.
02:46They might have to be a little bit more direct.
02:48Might have to turn to a kicking game.
02:50But they're going to have to score tries, Ryan.
02:54Well, this is it.
02:55We talk about what's the DNA, what's the sort of rugby they want to play.
02:59But you can't let teams get away from you that far away.
03:03Because then you put yourself under pressure.
03:05You're trying different things.
03:06You've got to try and make big wholesale changes and change up your game plan
03:11halfway through.
03:13I think they stick at it.
03:15They stick what they're trying to do.
03:16They've been putting the phases together, have Cardiff.
03:19It's just the accuracy.
03:21And when they make those mistakes, Glasgow have been so,
03:23so quick to pounce on them.
03:25Time back on.
03:3033 points to 12.
03:35Glasgow, who will be down again in these parts on one of the weeks off
03:43during the Six Nations when they play the Dragons down the road at Rodney
03:48Parade.
03:52So, Johnny Matthews.
03:53And that one didn't go to plan.
03:58Bevan.
04:02Ball being presented there by Evan Lloyd.
04:05Bevan.
04:07Tinus De Beer, a little chip over the top.
04:10Mackay gets it at the second attempt, but De Beer chasing him hard.
04:15Looked like there was penalty advantage there that was given for Johnny Matthews
04:18coming over the top.
04:20Referee had his arm out.
04:22Well, now the ball's loose.
04:26Glasgow have it.
04:28Matt Ferguson.
04:30Just getting his hands onto it, but then he's spilt it.
04:34This is big now for Cardiff.
04:35This is big now for Cardiff.
04:37You can see the crowd have all of a sudden increased their volume.
04:43A little bit of confidence they've taken at the start of the second half.
04:49You have to say that's sloppy from Glasgow, especially Matt Ferguson.
04:54So careful at the base of that route, but it's a really good opportunity for
04:59Cardiff.
05:01They've made a lot of changes.
05:02Front row, new front row, new halfbacks.
05:07This is where we see it, because that scrum really had the dominance in the
05:10first half, didn't it?
05:11That Cardiff scrum there too, they're just bulldozed Glasgow off the ball.
05:16We'll see here how it fares, but it goes the same way they keep it in.
05:20If not, they've got a good opportunity to strike here.
05:23They've got two on the right, just floating in behind is De Beer.
05:27You can imagine he'll be looking to come down this short side.
05:36Tinis De Beer will feel that he's a player who has much to prove.
05:41As Tom was saying, he was ever present last season.
05:48Shunted to one side because of the arrival of Callum Sheedy.
05:51Now he has an opportunity, 40 minutes to shine.
05:57It's a bit of a no-lose, I guess, for De Beer, isn't it?
06:01Yeah, nothing to lose.
06:0321 points behind, going there, trying to change the game up a little bit,
06:06trying to do something different.
06:07It wasn't working as it was.
06:10The biggest thing Cardiff can do is first up tackles.
06:12They've got to be made, especially on the danger man that Glasgow have got.
06:18Glasgow have got three on this right-hand side.
06:21So Cardiff's won.
06:23And you can see De Beer is going through a lot of conversations with Ben Thomas there.
06:29And what they do...
06:30Well, there we go with the free kick.
06:31Beg your pardon, Ryan, they go with the free kick now.
06:33And of course, there is a law change here, isn't there?
06:37In front of it, yeah.
06:39There is.
06:40So here they go.
06:41They're going to take this quick tap.
06:43Whether it's a trickery.
06:44No, just straight up the guts.
06:48Thomas.
06:49Plops it up.
06:50Within a metre here.
06:51Cardiff.
06:52Oh, and it's popped out backwards.
06:55There goes Lloyd.
06:57Ben Thomas, jinking.
07:00Matthews makes the tackle.
07:01Evan Lloyd is down and hurt.
07:04Carry there from Ed Byrne.
07:07Lawrence, spinning and turning.
07:09Now, can he get it down?
07:10He can't afford to be held up.
07:12He has been.
07:13Going back for offside.
07:14But we are going back for the offside.
07:17Just trying to see who that is.
07:19That is Evan Lloyd.
07:21Well defended here.
07:22Scott Cummins just manages to get in behind.
07:24Josh McKay, Talakai, the lot of them.
07:27They're all fighting in there.
07:28Just to get that held up over the line.
07:30Yes.
07:31Just early, so no control on the set and make him go to ground.
07:35Sorry.
07:37I appreciate it all.
07:44I appreciate it all.
07:50Massive and a big hit.
07:52Evan Lloyd has been down for a while.
08:00Kyle Rowe, one of the try scorers.
08:02Just to tidy up another bit of news.
08:10Ray Lilo is back.
08:13He left us for a dozen minutes because of a head injury assessment.
08:17So he came back on at halftime in place of Gab Hamer-Webb.
08:25Yes, just a little bit of inaccuracy there.
08:27Bobbles out the back.
08:28But Evan Lloyd does well to pick it up.
08:31Try and pirouette round and get them going on the front foot.
08:34It looked innocuous though, didn't it?
08:36Just passed the ball.
08:37Yes.
08:38I was trying to see if we had missed something.
08:41Maybe it was the contact before.
08:44Just monitor him, yes.
08:46Guys, just hold on.
08:48We're still waiting for that play as well.
08:55He's clearly still hurting.
09:09Offside.
09:14Go, go.
09:16Dan Thomas pops it up.
09:18Lawrence in there once more.
09:26Last feet.
09:30Josh McNally.
09:32They've come offside.
09:33The gloves go, so it's another penalty advantage.
09:40Out there for Bevan.
09:43Just a few flecks of plastic short.
09:46Lawrence.
09:48Another advantage.
09:50We're getting into yellow card country now, aren't we?
09:55Out and over the line at last.
09:57Three tries now for Cardiff.
10:06The Glasgow players don't think.
10:08It's gone over.
10:09Josh McKay thinking he's got his hands under it.
10:11The referee saying, I've clearly got it on the line.
10:13I just want to see that free kick from the beginning.
10:17Did they send Evan Lloyd back in to that first carry?
10:21Yes, they sent him back in.
10:22He just buckled on the floor because he's not right.
10:27You'd think one of your mates would step up and go,
10:29do you know what?
10:30I'll take this.
10:31I'll run this into 15 blokes rather than you,
10:33who've just been lying on the floor for the last five minutes.
10:37Nice work from Ed Byrne there.
10:38Gets really low.
10:39You can see Evan Lloyd on the screen there.
10:43He'll definitely be coming off now.
10:45But that was important.
10:46Cardiff took that opportunity,
10:47just trying to claw this lead that Glasgow have got back.
10:51They deserved it, didn't they?
10:52From that man there.
10:54He's made a bit of a difference, as to be it.
10:56He's come on.
10:57Made a nice little break.
10:58And then that chip and chase over the top,
11:00which got them in the position where they got the scrum
11:02and found themselves in that free kick territory.
11:04So knock away at the door.
11:06Knock away at the door.
11:08Glasgow will be frustrated at that.
11:09They want to start the second half well.
11:13Ed Byrne, a new arrival from the other side of the IRC,
11:16gets his first try for Cardiff.
11:21Alterations being made.
11:25High Glasgow.
11:28Jamie Batty's on.
11:37No problem with the hands there of Lawrence.
11:50There goes Cam Winnett.
11:56Wearing 19, by the way, is Richie Gray,
12:01rather than Max Williamson,
12:04whose name lashed up on the screen there.
12:06Richie Gray, who we heard in the last day or so,
12:10will be leaving Glasgow at the end of November.
12:17I know you know, Ryan, and you're not telling us,
12:19but if I mentioned your plan, I wouldn't be far away, would I?
12:23Did you just say into Miami?
12:26The football team?
12:28You mean Miami Sharks?
12:29The rugby team, which one?
12:30Football.
12:31Not quite across your MLR, are you?
12:34You've said every single club.
12:35Just throw that one in there.
12:36No, do you know what?
12:37James O'Connor just signed for Crusaders.
12:39I thought I'd throw that one out there.
12:46There's Dobie.
12:47Tupelo, too.
12:48That little bit of individual genius in the first half,
12:51but that pass was astray.
12:54Kyle Rowe goes back and recovers.
12:56The mullet's off and running.
12:58Throw it in to Liam Belcher.
13:02Dan Thomas just a bit too quickly out of the blocks that time.
13:14See the replay here.
13:18I think there was two.
13:19There was one prior as well.
13:22I think the other one was the ball from Cordero to Josh McKay
13:27where it maybe was a back down.
13:29But you think that would have just released them
13:31and they would have been off.
13:32So you're asking the question, if I was Glasgow.
13:37It was cynical because they looked like they had them
13:39on toast there on the edge.
13:40Glasgow.
13:42Half an hour remaining.
13:44Crowd don't think that was straight.
13:46Referee's happy.
13:47And it's his view that matters.
13:48And Tupelo, too, has burst through more Cardiff tackles.
13:54Matthews.
13:55Here's Fagerson.
13:58Well, the missed tackle.
13:59He's got it.
14:00He's got it.
14:01He's got it.
14:02He's got it.
14:03He's got it.
14:04He's got it.
14:05He's got it.
14:06He's got it.
14:07He's got it.
14:08He's got it.
14:09He's got it.
14:10Well, the missed tackle count will be a source of grave concern
14:14I would have thought to get in Jenkins tonight.
14:16It really has cost Cardiff.
14:19Here's Dobie.
14:21Hugh Jones.
14:30Matthews.
14:36It's been turned.
14:38Fantastic work on the floor.
14:40Win it.
14:42Sends Josh Mackay back towards his 22.
14:46Mason Grady just romping down the arms park.
14:51Fall back.
14:5217.
14:53Nice.
14:54Josh Mackay there.
14:57Tyson, bit of play.
14:58You just see Glasgow getting into that 22,
15:00and you think something's going to come from it.
15:02But Cardiff again make an absolute mess of the breakdown.
15:07I don't know.
15:08Is that a tackle?
15:09I mean, the way the ref's been going,
15:11nothing's allowed at their breakdown today.
15:13So we'll just give it, will we?
15:17They clear their lines, but Josh Mackay putting a shift there
15:21to get back and clear his lines.
15:23But this is where the legs start to go.
15:25Ryan, are you not entirely chuffed with Mornay Ferreira this evening?
15:31Probably put it quite well there.
15:33Not entirely chuffed, yeah.
15:35I think the breakdown's been a little bit all over the place.
15:39I know it's a tough place to be, right in the middle.
15:43But some of the breakdowns, it's clearly a factor that Cardiff are going
15:47after that Glasgow breakdown to slow it down.
15:50It's not going to change much in terms of the course of events
15:53because Glasgow already have the bonus points,
15:55so we'll be happy with that.
15:58There's still an opportunity for Cardiff to sneak another one in.
16:03They've managed to get themselves a bonus point.
16:05Tom, they're not going to die wondering, are they, Cardiff?
16:08No, they're not. They'll throw everything they can at it.
16:10But at the moment, what they're throwing and the game plan they're trying to play
16:14in those wide channels isn't working because of the high press
16:18that Glasgow are pushing.
16:20There is space out there, but there's one thing having space out there,
16:23the other thing is trying to get the ball there.
16:26But the biggest thing they need to do is one-up tackles.
16:30You know, Tua Pallotto there going through again, you cannot have that.
16:35But that's the thing, I think.
16:37Defensively, Cardiff will look back and go, yeah, we've had a load of missed tackles,
16:40but there's been one dominating factor.
16:42They've all been on Tua Pallotto, so maybe it's just the fact he's untackable.
16:45Tack-a-tack-a-la-ble? Tack-a-la-ble.
16:48Is that even a word?
16:49Untackable? Tack-a-la-ble?
16:52Give me it.
16:53Tack-a-ble.
16:54It is a word, I knew it.
16:56But he has been an absolute...
16:58I'll put it that way.
16:59He has been an absolute monster this evening in terms of carrying.
17:03Seeing him in their nightmares tonight.
17:05That 10-12 combination of Tom Jordan and Tua Pallotto.
17:10He's so good.
17:11The Warriors off.
17:13Liam Belcher.
17:15I'm going to test the scrums now.
17:17Two hookers off.
17:23This is where front rows pretend they got it.
17:25Just to inform you guys.
17:26Captain.
17:31Let's just listen to this conversation.
17:33Just to inform you.
17:34So all their front rows have been injured.
17:36So nobody can come back.
17:38At the next drum they will drop down to 14
17:40because of causing uncontested scrums.
17:43So at the moment we play 15-15.
17:45And at the next drum they drop down for causing uncontested scrums.
17:52And this is where it gets related to the front row.
17:54And this is where it gets related to the front row.
17:55And they pretend they got it.
17:56But really.
17:57Oh yes.
17:58A break.
17:59We can just go and lean on each other.
18:02Is that what you think?
18:03That's what we do.
18:06Alan Lawrence throws it.
18:08Did a rather good job finding Ben Donald.
18:13And now he's got it back.
18:16Maybe the number 8 has found a new mate here.
18:22Look at this.
18:25Half a card it.
18:28Behind the men there in the sky blue jerseys.
18:31They're still going.
18:34Ed Byrne just trying to steer them from this side.
18:38Thomas.
18:39De Beere.
18:40Grady with space here.
18:41And men out wide.
18:43Win it.
18:45Millard.
18:46Inside.
18:48And they get the score.
18:49Ben Donald.
18:53Mackenzie Martin.
18:56What a try.
18:58Welcome back into the game.
18:59Cardiff.
19:00Started with a huge drive.
19:0320 metres.
19:04I reckon they go with that drive.
19:07You can see it here.
19:08Alan Lawrence at the back.
19:09Threw the ball in.
19:12Did a really good job.
19:14Where Alex Bevan there just shouting the orders.
19:17And a look at the space that's opened up.
19:19It's a great angle of view here.
19:21Comes to Ben Thomas.
19:22Behind to Tinus De Beere.
19:24And then makes it Grady on that outside break.
19:26Exactly what you want.
19:28Slick hands there from Cam Winnett.
19:31Lovely offload.
19:33From Harry Millard.
19:34He's just come on Mackenzie Martin.
19:36Might have been his first touch.
19:39I think Mackenzie's had the old Barnett trim since last week.
19:42It certainly hasn't undermined his power and strength.
19:46Just wait for a scrum when it's going to be 14 men.
19:48That's going to be the issue.
19:51It was the pace from Mason Grady though, wasn't it?
19:53Managed to get round Kyle Rowe.
19:55Really caused him a load of trouble.
19:57Once you've got on that outer edge.
19:58Everyone's just chasing across.
20:00And you can see.
20:01Nando Cordero trying to get across.
20:04It's so much easier to step aside.
20:06It's a great try for Cardiff.
20:07But what a way to get back into the game.
20:08It is.
20:09And it's exactly what you want.
20:10We've seen Mason Grady.
20:12Grady's playing the centre.
20:1312-0 win.
20:14You don't want him running until he's tight.
20:17Little avenues.
20:18You want him with a bit of room.
20:19So he can use his pace and use his size.
20:2359 points.
20:2454 minutes.
20:25There could be another one here.
20:26Teddy Williams.
20:27Oh!
20:28And that is better than Spelting.
20:31Oh dear.
20:32Oh dear.
20:33Didn't need to do that.
20:34Didn't need to take his time.
20:35He was trying to.
20:37You need to keep his depth there.
20:38You need to hold your feet.
20:39Especially after Brela.
20:40You're blinking quicker.
20:42With Teddy Williams.
20:43You're at nine.
20:44Just need to slow your feet down a little bit.
20:50Well, he just lifted his eyes.
20:53And he saw the Glasgow defender.
20:56And in a moment it slipped through his fingers.
20:58And now we have the scrum.
21:00And now we see Cardiff losing the player.
21:03Going down to 14.
21:04And it is the try-scorer who's leaving us.
21:08Guys, let's get on a mock.
21:10Right.
21:12Everybody to remain bound, please.
21:16Yeah.
21:17Everybody, please remain bound.
21:18Well, this is where rugby goes theatrical.
21:25Guys, you have to be eight in the scrum.
21:26It looks like a scrum.
21:27Yeah, but somebody needs to come in.
21:28You have to be eight.
21:29But really it's not, is it?
21:30Well, the Glasgow players are asking here.
21:32Does they have to put eight in the scrum?
21:34They can't not have eight in the scrum.
21:36Because it's going to have to leave a bit of space somewhere else.
21:39But Cardiff don't seem to be agreeing.
21:41They don't know who to bring in.
21:43Yeah, 100%.
21:45Let's go.
21:46Time back on.
21:47Just tie it up.
21:52Guys, let's form proper form, please.
21:56And Crouch.
21:58Gone without a nine, basically.
22:00And set.
22:02So, the rugby role play.
22:05Use it.
22:06Dempsey presents it there to Dove.
22:09Here goes Tirpilotu.
22:11They start playing rugby again.
22:13Dove.
22:15Dempsey just getting over halfway.
22:17We've still got 25 minutes to go here.
22:21Jordan, the dummy.
22:24Snuffed out.
22:26Defensively strong there from Cardiff.
22:27And they get the penalty.
22:31This is turning into a minor classic.
22:35That's big.
22:36That's a huge penalty to win.
22:3840 men on the field.
22:40You can hear the crowd all of a sudden erupt now.
22:43Tom Jordan goes down.
22:46Ray Lilo straight in there.
22:47I think it's Ed Byrne as well.
22:52But hardly any Glasgow players in that ruck.
22:56Needs to get this one in the 22.
22:59You can almost feel the tide turning, can't you?
23:02Play on.
23:03Oh, but he's missed it.
23:04Stop.
23:06Well,
23:08the advantage almost handed back.
23:11Not the best from Josh McKay.
23:12Number six.
23:14Number six.
23:16It's just one of those games.
23:18The beer misses the touch.
23:19Really well taken there by Josh McKay,
23:22but he's dafted that.
23:26Again, we mentioned ironic cheers earlier.
23:29There were certainly some there after he put that one into touch.
23:31Ewan Ferry is on.
23:33He replaces Gregor Brown.
23:37Well, it was when Benetton lost the player last week
23:40that Glasgow really turned the screw.
23:45On the strength of what we've seen so far,
23:47it's inspiring kind of.
23:49Teddy Williams.
23:50There's Ellis Bevan.
23:51On to Tina Stapir.
23:53Here's Dan Thomas.
23:54Ben Thomas.
23:56Ray Lilo.
24:01Well, the ball is out, so it's the referee.
24:09But it is Cardiff who'll get it back.
24:14Sort of making calls, aren't they, the players?
24:16Yes.
24:17Tennis players.
24:18Tennis players.
24:20Tennis players.
24:21Tennis players.
24:22Sort of making calls, aren't they, the players?
24:23Yes.
24:24Tennis players.
24:25Just says play on.
24:29Again, I don't think that's out.
24:31I get it.
24:32He's trying to do the same for both teams,
24:33but it doesn't look like that ball is fully out of the...
24:37out of the rack, but...
24:38I suppose he's sticking with the same...
24:42Let's go, guys. Let's speed it up.
24:43Sticking with the same for both teams.
24:46It's just a messy game, isn't it, now?
24:48Full of mistakes towards the end,
24:50but you just feel like...
24:52I wonder if they're going to come out on top at the moment,
24:54for some reason.
25:01We have yet to reach the hour.
25:03Agree.
25:05They're just not going to be able to do too much
25:06off the back of the scrum,
25:07because there'll be a man down,
25:08because they've got to have eight in the scrum,
25:10so Harry Millard has come onto the blind side.
25:13Find set.
25:16Bevan.
25:18Mason Grady at first receiver,
25:20goes hard and straight.
25:22Well, was he picked up beyond the horizontal?
25:24That's certainly what the crowd here certainly think,
25:26but the referee's comfortable.
25:30Bevan once more.
25:32There goes Byrne.
25:36Both sides have tied up the...
25:39try bonus point.
25:41It's now about claiming the most important four points of all,
25:45and then there was a Glasgow hand in there.
25:49But it's a penalty.
25:50Now it's a time for cool heads.
25:52Three points for the taking,
25:54if they want them straight in front,
25:56and they are going to take them.
25:58I think that's definitely the right decision.
26:01They're a player down.
26:03They haven't got a hooker to throw the ball in.
26:08And it's just Jamie Batty there,
26:09I think he's gone through for the counter right,
26:11but he's played the arm.
26:17This'll be huge now, I'm proud of it.
26:21He's got Jonny Matthews mistaken for Jamie Batty,
26:25the referee there.
26:26But you can see clearly,
26:28good counter-ruck initially,
26:30but you cannot play the nine
26:32once you've come through there.
26:33And I'm with you, Shanks, I think.
26:35Knock these over,
26:36try and reset,
26:38exit well,
26:39find yourself back up there,
26:40and you could get another three points.
26:46Continuously appears kicking,
26:48has been exemplary.
26:51Oh, no!
27:02Devon finds touch.
27:04They're really smart from Glasgow,
27:05they know that Cardiff are under the pump,
27:07so why not get down there
27:09whilst they switch off for a moment,
27:11just go quick,
27:13put it as deep as possible,
27:14and they've got an attacking platform now
27:16to try and strike off.
27:18Can they be clinical though?
27:19Time is off, just keep holding.
27:21Number two, stop.
27:28Glasgow making the change at hooker,
27:30so Jonny Matthews will hand the ball
27:33onto Gregor Hiddleston.
27:38Yeah, another Gregor that made a lot of tackles
27:40in that Ulster game.
27:42Came on,
27:43I think he made something like
27:4522 tackles in 20 minutes as well.
27:50Turpulatu feeds the ball on.
27:57Makai,
27:59offload from a single hand
28:01onto Kyle Rowe.
28:03They're inside the 22 at Glasgow.
28:06Richie Gray.
28:10There you can see Afshar,
28:11the replacement scrum half.
28:17Turpulatu
28:20Here's Hugh Jones once more.
28:22Good tackle from Mason Grady.
28:26Onto Hiddleston.
28:30Richie Gray.
28:39Josh Makai just being held up there by Ben Thomas.
28:43He's got down.
28:50That's Richie Gray
28:52wearing 21.
28:53That is Ewan Ferry.
28:57Penalty load at Glasgow.
29:01A chance to stop the bleeding.
29:03What will be the call here?
29:07They've got the manpower advantage.
29:10What do you do, take the three?
29:13There's no chance they'll be taking the three.
29:15Some people might say it'd be the good idea,
29:17but it's not the Glasgow Warrior way.
29:19The Glasgow Warrior way is
29:21to get as close to that try line as you can.
29:25Go in with that rolling ball,
29:26which is also dangerous.
29:29And try and batter away at them.
29:33You can get it close to the corner.
29:35You've got a one-man advantage up front.
29:38And it's such a big weapon.
29:41It's a big weapon.
29:43And it's such a big weapon Glasgow have got.
29:49That's why Jonny Matthews has scored so many tries
29:51from situations like this.
29:53I know he's not on the field, but
29:56just pointing out how many tries Glasgow do score
29:58from driving nine.
29:59That's just a huge amount.
30:03Gregor Hiddleston.
30:07Binding Ferry.
30:09Here is that driving ball,
30:10and it's all going well so far for Glasgow.
30:17Just for a moment.
30:19I thought they might have turned it,
30:21but they did so illegally.
30:23Josh McNally just getting dinged.
30:25In at the side is what the referee said.
30:27Number four.
30:33And they'll go again.
30:34But if I was Cardiff,
30:35I'd be trying to put someone in the air here.
30:37Puts you under a bit more pressure.
30:39One man down as well.
30:41Number 11.
30:43But you saw that last throw there.
30:44It was just on the chest of Ewan Ferry.
30:47Trying to put the young man under pressure.
30:55You just feel like if they can win this ball,
30:57Glasgow are going over.
31:01And they've got it.
31:03And here it is this time.
31:05And it lands.
31:07It looks as if they've got it down.
31:08That's exactly what the referee thinks.
31:13And now, Glasgow.
31:18They've created an advantage,
31:19which is more than the converted try.
31:21Matt Fagerson getting up.
31:23They put two men up, don't they, Ryan?
31:24But then that just takes you out defensively.
31:27It does, and Glasgow win it in a really dangerous place.
31:31Anything around that 12-30 metres.
31:34Especially when you've won it in behind the pod.
31:38Those men then have to transition,
31:39try and get down underneath it.
31:42And it all splinters.
31:43You look at that.
31:44Matt Fagerson's nodding.
31:45He knows he's got that over.
31:47They can't have taken a big gamble there,
31:49putting two up.
31:50Got to try and come away with something.
31:53Yeah, looks like it's touched the line.
31:56Well, Fagerson got a try against 14-man Benetton last week.
32:01Same story here against Cardiff.
32:08You're Tom Jordan on target with the conversion.
32:16Just settled Glasgow down completely.
32:18They're about to absorb most of the pressure
32:20in this second half.
32:24It's really all Cardiff.
32:26It's all about the team.
32:28It's all about the team.
32:30It's all about the team.
32:32It's all about the team.
32:34It's all about the team.
32:35It's really all Cardiff so far,
32:37but they've got to try for it now.
32:38It just gives them a bit more of a cushion.
32:42We need to change that score line.
32:43Here it is.
32:44I think we're doing it.
32:45There we go.
32:4640 points to 29.
32:5115 minutes remaining.
32:5411 points the lead.
33:00Glasgow have been tested in this second half.
33:06They have regained their equilibrium there.
33:11Ben Archer, former Scotland under-20.
33:17Win it.
33:18He was challenged, but he got there just.
33:24Teddy Williams standing up at first receiver.
33:26Mackenzie Martin is on.
33:29You look now.
33:30Cardiff received that ball,
33:31but they've got no attack in four out wide.
33:35So they just look like they've just got to kick it in behind again.
33:37Exactly what they're doing.
33:39Well, that was neatly picked up.
33:42Fantastic work by Tom Jordan.
33:45He's had a great game today.
33:49That's Patrick Schickeling.
33:55Schickeling, a new face at Glasgow.
33:58Here's Dempsey.
34:06A catch there from Winnett.
34:13Williams.
34:14Good offload out of the back of the hand.
34:16There's Mackenzie Martin.
34:21Tinus De Beer.
34:22Ben Thomas.
34:32Well, it's Jamie Derby who's guilty.
34:35Yeah, it was.
34:36I thought Ewan Freire was a little bit unlucky.
34:38He looked like he got himself in a good position over the ball there.
34:44Mourne Ferreira just said play on.
34:46You can see Jamie Derby there.
34:47Number nine just comes in from the side.
34:53I think the angle with Ben Donald there
34:56just gives the ref enough of an angle to go to Jamie Derby
35:01and say, no, you're definitely in the side there.
35:04Small mistakes.
35:05Those little things that you chase can put you under the pump
35:08and you've got another opportunity.
35:10We spoke about it, didn't we?
35:11End-to-end.
35:13My goodness, it has been in both halves as well.
35:15End-to-end and super complicated.
35:21So complicated.
35:22Why is rugby so complicated, Martin?
35:28Can't be that complicated.
35:29I understand it reasonably well.
35:31Lawrence.
35:33Guarding Teddy Williams.
35:37Oh, have they got over?
35:39Just held up.
35:41There's the ball.
35:42One more surge.
35:44They've got another score of guarding.
35:48What a game we've got on.
35:50Ben Donald.
35:54I mean, this is brilliant to watch.
35:56You've got a team down of 14 men because you can't put a front row out
35:59so they've lost a player.
36:02They've come back from 33-12 at the moment.
36:04They've just scored another try.
36:06This is all action game.
36:10It's that breakout there which gets Cardiff close to the line.
36:12Then it's just a little bit of composure.
36:18Good pick-up.
36:20Nice little latch on the side of him, behind him and over.
36:24Saw the shots there of Ellis Bevan.
36:26He's pumped up.
36:27A defence coach's nightmare, this one.
36:41Every kick absolutely crucial.
36:48Lawless so far.
36:52Tinnis to do it.
36:54Go on, Tinnis!
36:58Same again.
37:06He's done really well there though, hasn't he?
37:08Managed to pick up and get the man down.
37:11Just drive over.
37:12Found themselves back into the game.
37:15You don't want to see that side.
37:17Sione Tuapalotu is walking off the field.
37:19He has been absolutely monumental this evening for Glasgow Warriors,
37:23has Sione Tuapalotu.
37:25Can't wait to see the stats and tackle breaks and metres made from him
37:29through contact.
37:32We tend to read during the week about world rugby,
37:36wanting to make various changes to the laws to make it more entertaining.
37:41I'm not sure they need them, do they?
37:42Just need more matches like this.
37:44Two sides going at it, hammer and tongs.
37:51The champions have been stretched here.
37:55Still 10 minutes to go.
37:56There could be four more tries, Sione.
37:59In for a few more.
38:01We've seen tonight why Glasgow are the champions.
38:06We've seen Cardiff stare deep into their souls.
38:11And they brought absolutely everything out.
38:13But here goes Dempsey.
38:15Dempsey looking for a couple of mates.
38:18Teddy Williams knocks him down.
38:20Dempsey looking for a couple of mates.
38:23Teddy Williams knocks him to the ground.
38:26Afshar's got his hands on it.
38:29Kyle Rowe slips in through.
38:31Tinas Dabir goes back and Rowe's got another.
38:40Immediately, the champions bite back.
38:44But it starts with this.
38:45Ewan Ferry delays that pass really well.
38:48But Jack Dempsey, fresh back from winning the URC.
38:52It's his first game in a Glasgow jersey since that match over in Pretoria.
38:56And he puts him through.
38:57And then Kyle Rowe just stabs that one through.
39:02And the bounce of the ball is cruel.
39:04It's all over the shop.
39:05And you just weren't trying to work out who's going to pick it up and go over.
39:08But it starts from that brilliant little delayed pass by Ewan Ferry.
39:13There's so many players out there to mark.
39:15And really well delayed.
39:17Just a hole opens up.
39:18Ben Thomas, not sure who to take.
39:21Jack Dempsey, there's some pace on him as well.
39:25Blame it on the backs, I reckon.
39:28Some high knees as well.
39:30Right up there.
39:31The Saves recently had a back problem.
39:34What a sign of that there.
39:48Duncan Wear, slots the conversion.
39:51The man who goes back as far as Glasgow.
39:53A concern all the way back to the Firhill days.
39:55slots the conversion the man who goes back as far as Glasgow are concerned all
39:59the way back to the per hill days
40:08Richie Gray
40:13and I think the tips of his fingers were well over the height of a basketball
40:16hoop that time
40:1911 points the lead
40:24a step from Matt Ferguson there's another one
40:33Doby
40:37there's Jordan
40:41Roe just getting wrapped up by Hamer Webb seven minutes to go
40:51and that's it now you just feel like Glasgow back in control why did I say
40:57that but you do they just managed to find themselves in the right area of the
41:01field
41:04look at that
41:12there's Donald
41:16leave it now
41:21Rory Thornton wearing the red headgear
41:25a little chip over the top when it's after it so to Thomas good footballing
41:33skills there from Karl Rowe
41:39well he used to play at London Irish perhaps he spent his Saturdays watching
41:44Brentford because those were soccer skills
41:48there goes Schickeling the offload there goes that shot good dummy the
41:53scrum half is through Tinas Tabir waits for it
41:57in the end it was Ellis Bevan who took him down
42:02there's Duncan Weir little dummy the ball out wide
42:06and the try in the corner and Tom Jordan has got another
42:12so fast this game Glasgow just up the tempo and
42:16I think kind of a man down
42:20Ben Afshar there I mean one of these young nines that's coming through at
42:24Glasgow and we talk about the depth they've got but when a game
42:28like this opens up is a nine's dream isn't it Shanks they just love it
42:33because it is just all over the place space everywhere
42:36you shout the Duncan Weir there that delay pass
42:41was beautiful but again you look at Cardiff
42:45under the pump they just can't seem to find themselves
42:48any sort of structure they miss a couple tackles and then they just
42:51there's no way of scrambling Glasgow at least when you break the line slightly
42:56they managed to find a way just to regain a bit of control but
42:59yeah but the style Cardiff want to play with a man down is going to be so
43:03difficult to play you know if they were if they had a
43:06massive pack just relied on a lot of big carries would be so much easier but they
43:10don't their DNA is to play with tempo pace and
43:13width and when you're a man down that's even harder because
43:15you can see why they're trying to put the little kicks in over the top now
43:18just trying to find space somewhere else
43:25oh Duncan Weir's conversion attempt slipping wide
43:29we're a veteran of that 2015 winning team
43:33he was he goes back to the days almost of Chris Custer at nine doesn't he
43:38yep the ball brush does yeah yeah play with Cass back in the day
43:41at Fir Hill it was 2010-2011 sort of days
43:55i can't believe they scored by 36-52 he teed up didn't we Shanks
44:00just every one of it high paced high scoring game
44:04he's got it always advancing it's a penalty to Cardiff
44:09chances of Cardiff actually winning this game now have
44:12all but disappeared however however they will still have their eyes on
44:18doubling the points they've already got the try bonus point can they get the
44:22losing bonus yeah they've got to go for it now
44:24as you go into the corner
44:29and i think if you if you think about everything that's gone on in this game
44:32two points in this game their take
44:39problem is they need to get a converted try here and then
44:46another score so they can't waste time you could argue that was maybe
44:53the reason why they could have taken three there
44:57Teddy Williams
45:01go backwards Bevan
45:05Ben Thomas just getting wrapped up by Matt Fagason and another of his mates it
45:10was Duncan Weir there's the ball
45:14picked up by Lawrence
45:18last feet eight
45:26Thornton little more than two minutes on the clock
45:31no no end they're going to score is going to have to be in the net 60 seconds
45:36or so
45:42Bevan
45:48and the penalty goes against Cardiff and the dreams of that second point
45:53pretty much done
45:58and Glasgow happy with that shows the mindset doesn't it
46:01shows the determination no they've got the game in the bag pretty much but
46:06a defensive set that they can be proud of
46:10and there's a few ropey sets of defense well 90 seconds or so to go it's been
46:16quite a match player of the match time I think Tom
46:20Jordan's been lively Jack Dempsey has been very physical in a
46:25bit of go forward for him but the BKT URC player of the match is
46:29Sione Turpulatu I think he's been amazing he was great
46:34last week I think he's even better this week
46:36he's carried hard he's distributed so well he's just
46:40he's got everything you want from a 12 and he could be
46:44one of the Scottish greats a British and Irish line
46:50he has to be for me the way that he's playing at the moment
46:54he is up there with one of the best centers going
47:00certainly that combo with Hugh Jones expected to shine not just
47:07in the United Rugby Championship but also you would have thought in the
47:12Champions Cup and also maybe for Scotland
47:16Abshon
47:23Kyle Rowe would love to get another try for his hat trick but he's running out
47:27of time
47:31here's Dempsey always combative
47:38use it
47:42Abshon pumps it up into the sky
47:48Dovey misses it eventually slaps it back and then there's the knock on
47:51from Abshon and Mason Grady takes it into touch
47:57and that will bring the final whistle for what has been a thoroughly
48:03entertaining evening for the locals well the result may have
48:07not gone their way but i must say they would disappear
48:11into the card at night and think that this was money well
48:15spent this was rugby out of the top draw yes there were
48:19plenty of errors out there and in the end they played a major part
48:23in determining the result but Tom as an advert for the game of rugby
48:28for this league that was top draw it's exciting i mean
48:31you're not going to get tries without a bit of loose defense
48:34i think card have showed a lot of spirit and they came in at the end of
48:37that first half it was quiet there was an eerie feeling here no one
48:42was really clapping but they came back out and they scored a couple of tries
48:45straight away got the crowd back behind them they didn't give up
48:48yes they lacked a little bit of those first
