The second half did not live up to the standards as set in the first half. However, the Sharks did play a lot better in the second half outscoring the Warriors with two tries to one.
01:22 Glasgow Warriors were immediate on the attack as Sam Johnson goes over for the hosts first try (07-00).
12:45 Dylan Richarson (Sharks) was sin-binned with a yellow card.
13:12 Ryan Wilson scored the Warriors 2nd try as the hosts' attack proves too much for the Sharks (14-00).
19:36 Jamie Bhatti forces his way over the Sharks tryline for the Warriors' 3rd try (21-00).
20:00 The Sharks are on their way to humiliation if they do not stop the wave after wave attack from the Warriors. The Warriors dominates everything at this stage.
25:16 Le Roux Roets scored the Sharks 1st try after the forwards of the Sharks kept on the pressure of the Warriors tryline (21-07).
35:51 Cole Forbes scored the Warriors 4th and bonus point try. The physicality of the Warriors' high-speed attacks proving too much for the Sharks defence yet again (28-07).
40:06 Curwin Bosch added 3 points for the Sharks with a converted penalty (28-10).
40:00 The Sharks are slowly clawing their way back into this match, however, the attack of the Warriors is still proving too much for the visitors. A better 2nd quarter by the Sharks, unfortunately, not enough to beat the Warriors.

54:40 Thomas du Toit forces his way over the tryline to score the Sharks 2nd try (35-17).
60:00 The initial quick pace of the game has taken its toll, as both sides settled to see the game out at a relaxed pace. The game was already won at that stage with nothing to be gained by both teams.
