went over for Glasgow's sixth try

No sooner had Glasgow's rather more modest display faded away than fly-half Dan Parks launched himself almost horizontally to intercept a pass from Lee Jarvis.

Miraculously he held on and ran 40 yards to score under the posts and then convert it. Glasgow 7-0 up after two minutes? Let me check that league table again.

The Welsh side looked rattled by this opening. But while the Scots looked dangerous, all those long flat passes were destined for another interception and this time it was Gareth Baber who made it. A heroic tackle by Sean Lamont was not enough to stop him getting the ball to Percy Montgomery to score after ten minutes.

But Montgomery missed the conversion and from then on, Glasgow never looked back. They disrupted the Dragons’ lineout and pressure on the Dragons scrum on their own line led to Jarvis’ clearance being charged down and Donnie MacFadyen barrelling over with the loose ball.

Only a Montgomery penalty was forthcoming before Glasgow’s Rory Kerr skinned Ben Breeze for pace and with flanker Andrew Wilson in support, romped home from 70 metres.

To add to the Dragons’ misery, Parks laid on an immaculate chip into the corner for Kerr again to run onto which he duly did. A further long-range penalty from Montgomery was all Dragons could manage in the half.

There was major surgery to the Welsh at half-time. But it didn’t make much difference. Glasgow chased everything and another charge down, this time by scrum half Sam Pindar which he followed up himself to score put Glasgow firmly in the driving seat.

Only the boot of Montgomery kept the Dragons in the hunt, and then, only from long range.

Donnie McFadyen took another interception, made 70 metres and slipped it to David Millard for the final score.
