Rain starting to fall heavily in the Sportsground leading to a lot of handling mistakes from both sides.

PENALTY CONNACHT. Dan Parks defies the swirling wind to land his sides opening points from albeit only 15 metres out. 7-3 Glasgow the score.

It appears Gabriel Ascarete was the man who touched down for the early Glasgow try.

Mark Bennett attempts a huge penalty from nearly his own 10 metre line but can't steer it through the posts. Still 7-0 Glasgow.

Always an early try conceded by Connacht, have to cut that out

TRY GLASGOW! Only five minutes in and Glasgow crash over for a try after some great work from the pack. Confusion over the scorer but we will inform you once we know.. Duncan Weir converts so 7-0.

Glasgow get good field position to start the game after a Connacht knock-on in just outside their own 22.

Duncan Weir get's us underway, game on!

@Ryan it's not being broadcast on TV. RTE Radio 1 are covering it though.

What channel is it on?
