FT: Glasgow Warriors 50-8 Zebre Parma

Try Glasgow

From the scrum, Glasgow drive forward play two phases and then replacement hooker Fraser Brown dives over for the last try of the game.

Glasgow penalty

Zebre take out Jamie Dobie off the ball handing Glasgow a penalty. They opt for the scrum.

Both teams parked in Zebre’s 22. No momentum either way with the ball changing hands often.

BKT Player of the Match: Johnny Matthews

It was never really in doubt, a first-half hat-trick, and an assist. Our hooker, Johnny Matthews.

Zebre break

Zebre still trying to create something here. They make 50 metres on the north wing, but there is no support and the offload goes to nowhere. Cummings dives on it and the McDowall then sends the ball back down the pitch.

Try #7

It’s another try for the hosts. This time Sione Vailanu collects a brilliant pass from Jamie Dobie, then he breaks the line and has Thomas Gordon in support. Gordon’s timing is ideal, he collects the offload and dives in under the posts for try number seven.
