LIVE: DHL Stormers v Glasgow Warriors

2 years ago Uncategorized

The DHL Stormers are in Glasgow for their first-ever Vodacom United Rugby Championship match at Scotstoun Stadium against the Glasgow Warriors. You can follow all the action live, right here with our updates.

The DHL Stormers claimed a comfortable 32-7 win when the two teams met at DHL Stadium last season, but today will be a different prospect altogether against a Glasgow team that has won their last five matches and have a formidable record at home.

Blue skies at Scotstoun, so conditions look good for an early kick-off. It is chilly but we should see a good game of rugby.

0 – Kick-off at Scotstoun where we are up against the Glasgow Warriors.

2 – Great defence early on as Glasgow take it through the phases but the ball is knocked loose so we have the first scrum on the 22.

4 – Carried up to halfway, but it is knocked on by Dayimani so Glasgow have a scrum this time.

6 – We get it back and Willemse breaks up the middle. Cross-kick from Libbok and Glasgow taken into touch in the 22.

8 – Glasgow push the maul into touch and then kick long. They get it back and score on the counter-attack in the corner to make it 5-0.

11 – Blommetjies taken out in the air and Glasgow shown a yellow card for that.

17 – Glasgow respond with their second try as skipper Kyle Steyn scores to give them the lead back at 10-7.
