FULLTIME SCORE: DRAGONS 32 – 22 WARRIORS

All the action, as it happens, live from Rodney Parade as Glasgow Warriors embark on their 2008/09 Heineken Cup campaign against Newport Gwent Dragons.

Glasgow centre Graeme Morrison will make his 100th appearance for the club today against a Dragons side looking to reverse the result from the opening game of the domestic season when the Warriors posted a 12-6 win in Newport.

Timeline
0 mins: The Dragons kick-off the 2008/09 Heineken Cup campaign in glorious sunshine at Rodney Parade - a far cry from the torrential downpours from the last time the two sides met in Newport.
3 mins: Dragons pin Glasgow inside their 22 metre area. A slight lapse in defence sees a Dragons jersey nip through but the ball was spilled over the line at full stretch.
5 mins: TRY – Lome Fa’atau – DRAGONS 0 – 5 WARRIORS
Dragons struggle to release the ball in the contact area. Eventually, a long pass left was anticipated by Lome Fa’atau who had enough gas in the tank to cross unchallenged.
7 mins: CON – Colin Gregor – DRAGONS 0 – 7 WARRIORS
12 mins: PEN MISS – James Arlidge
21 mins: PEN - Colin Gregor – DRAGONS 0 – 10 WARRIORS

39 mins: Kelly Brown is sent to the sin bin for ten minutes
40 mins: TRY – Gareth Wyatt – DRAGONS 11 - 10 WARRIORS

48 mins: Kelly Brown returns to the field from the sin bin.
51 mins: TRY – Max Evans – DRAGONS 17- 15 WARRIORS
The Warriors set-up camp inside the Dragons’ danger zone with a scrum five metres from the line – their first attempt at a score being held up. A pass right from Mark McMillan found Max Evans whose step fooled the defender and he piled over to bring the Warriors back into the game.
53 mins: CON – Colin Gregor – DRAGONS 17 – 17 WARRIORS
56 mins: TRY – Gareth Wyatt - DRAGONS 22 – 17 WARRIORS
The Dragons came straight back at Glasgow from Evans’ try only three minutes earlier. An attempt to touch down at the root of the right post was thwarted, but they spun the ball right in the second phase to find Wyatt out in wide.
57 mins: CON MISS – James Arlidge
57 mins: Canadian international Kevin Tkachuk replaces Justin Va’a and Ruaridh Jackson comes on for Mark McMillan. As a result, Jackson takes his place at stand-off and Colin Gregor moves to scrum-half.
62 mins: TRY – Colin Charvis - DRAGONS 27 – 17 WARRIORS
The game starts to slip from the hands of Glasgow as the Dragons go ten points clear. The hosts pile over the line and the ball pops out with Charvis on the end of it.
