Cheetahs crash to another big home defeat

GLASGOW recovered from a scrappy first half to score seven tries in all and move top of Conference A.

Warriors trailed 19-14 at the break as the hosts ran in three tries but Glasgow capitalised on Malcolm Jaer's yellow card a minute into the new half, with Tommy Seymour and Ali Price touching down.

DTH van der Merwe, Callum Gibbins and George Horne also scored, with Adam Hastings contributing 22 points.

The fly-half opened the scoring with a converted try after just 72 seconds and finished with a perfect record of eight successful goals from eight attempts.

William Small-Smith touched down to cancel out Hastings’ try and down the Cheetahs first another Glasgow turnover while pounding on the Cheetahs line sparked a magnificent counter-attack, finished off by full-back Malcolm Jaer.

Trailing 12-7, Glasgow then lost Alex Dunbar to the bin for a high tackle on Ryno Eksteen.

Despite being a man down Rob Harley found Price in support to score. Nico Lee put the Cheetahs back ahead but Jaer’s yellow for taking Seymour out in the air let Glasgow in with Seymour, Price (2), and Van der Merwe crossing for 35-19.

Jaer went in for his second try but Glasgow replied with 17 more points. Hastings’ penalty and Gibbins’ try made it 4524 and George Horne made it seven tries, and 52 points, before the end.
