Cardiff gave away a string of penalties at scrum time with the former Leeds and Doncaster tighthead prop giving Campese Ma’afu and Fau Filise a torrid time.
The Warriors know they will face a stiffer test when they take on Northampton in the Heineken Cup next week, but they go into the match with the momentum of four straight wins.
“It says there has been a lot of scrums in the game, which there were, and we dominated in that area,” said Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend in the Scotsman. “There were a lot of penalties, but no yellow cards. But it was great.
“The whole pack scrummed well, but Mike at tighthead was obviously key to that. We know Northampton are one of the best scrums in Europe, Cardiff have had their troubles last two weeks in the scrum, so it is a different challenge next week.”
There were some worries with Gordon Reid and Ryan Grant leaving the field with injuries but both are expected to be back in action soon.
Mike told the Scotsman: “We always try and look at the opposition scrum because it is a massive part of the game. We saw Cardiff had a couple of issues, so we looked to take them on up front and did that well today. We tried to keep nudging in front, but got the penalties and that set the tone for taking it forward.
“It is unfortunate the others have some knocks, but that is the way it goes. The Heineken Cup will be massive for us. They are a massive pack next week, they are awesome up front with driving lineouts and attacking the opposition through the scrum.”
