14 Minutes to go in the match, as the Warriors knock…
Ox Nche subbed… so too I think Ruan Pienaar…
Dweba also subbed…
Cheetahs hard on attack again…
Warriors have no answers to the open free-flowing Cheetahs game tonight…
Try Sias Koen, Cheetahs!
Rampant!
Cheetahs 48 / 14 Warriors
Warriors penalty… playing again in the completed tackle
Maul held up, turnover Cheetahs scrum.
Quite a comprehensive Cheetahs performance in the game.
The hunger is clearly there… the handling sublime… opportunities taken…
7 Minutes to go in the match
7 Tries to 2, so far.
Cheetahs run it from near their own line…
The Cheetahs have thrown this ball around tremendously tonight… the Warriors have had no clue where to stop the leaks..
We must remember that the Glasgow Warriors were finalists in last season’s PRO14!!
Seconds to go…
Game over… with the Cheetahs almost in for another try…
Toyota Cheetahs (24) 48 / 14 (7) Glasgow Warriors (Final Score)
Well done Cheetahs on comprehensive win.
Ouch that was a big pakslae. Very disappointed in the result. In spite of all the mitigating factors against us tonight I still felt the team were capable of coming away with at least 1 or possibly 2 bonus points from this one. For all the players missing through World Cup and injuries the starting pack was still quite an experienced one apart from number 2 and 4, It just shows the difference between where the Cheetahs who must be close to their peak having confidently won a watered down Currie Cup and have added to that squad are and Glasgow who are just starting out the season with a few pre-season friendlies under the belt and are probably 6 months at least away from when they will peak.

Hi Gbs, a number of the players who played tonight played last season but overall this was a very different squad to the one that got Glasgow to the final and played in the final. At a quick glance there are 28 players from last season who for various reasons were not in Bloem tonight,
This is the Glasgow Warriors match day squad from last season’s final:
Hogg, Seymour, Steyn, Johnson, van der Merwe, Hastings, Price, Bhattie, Brown, Z. Fagerson, Cummings, Gray, Harley, Gibbins, M. Fagerson.
Replacements: H. Jones , P. Horne ,G. Horne, Kebble, Halanukonuka, Z. Fagerson, Gordon, Stewart, Wilson.
7 out of that 23 played tonight
