Cardiff left stunned by Horne’s precision kicking

shrug off the memory of last weekend’s record home defeat against Ulster, but Glasgow soon established control up front and were rewarded with points on the board.

Glasgow were given another penalty following a long kick downfield by flanker John Barclay and from almost the same angle, Horne doubled the lead.

He repeated the trick three minutes later, with the Blues struggling to get into the opposition half.

The home side were being pinged repeatedly at the scrum and Italian referee Giuseppe Vivarini soon provided an opportunity for Horne to kick his fourth penalty.

The home side began to show some fire, with Josh Navidi prominent — but it was still Glasgow who scored next.

Vivarini ruled that the Blues had transgressed at the breakdown and the impeccable Horne kicked a 45-yard penalty.

Thehomefans werehappier when the official decided that it was time Glasgow took the blame for a collapsed scrum, but Halfpenny’s kick was wide.

And it was soon back to the familiar pattern as the Warriors destroyed the home pack to give Horne another three points.

Glasgow were reduced to 14 men when hooker Dougie Hall was yellowcarded for a professional foul, while Horne proved that he was only human when he drove a penalty wide of the posts.

Not that it mattered. Glasgow kept the Blues penned in their own half until the final whistle heralded a solid victory.
