The Scots led at the interval only to be overhauled by three quick Cardiff tries after the break.

Glasgow made a slick start, and, after Colin Gregor narrowly missed a 40-metre penalty attempt, Glenn Metcalfe and Jon Petrie combined to send centre Alan Bulloch across for the opening touchdown in ten minutes.

The Blues hit back to level seven minutes later with a converted try from Jon Vaughton, but the visitors edged back in front against the run of play thanks to Bulloch's second score of the night. Sean Lamont did the initial damage with a surge out of defence, and the ball was recycled from Graeme Beveridge to Bulloch via Gregor with home tacklers nowhere to be seen.

Vaughton then displayed his pace again to complete his own double, and when Nick Walne cruised in eight minutes later there was no way back for the Glasgow. Nick Robinson converted his own try soon afterwards, making sure of the bonus point. Sub Joe Beardshaw managed a late consolation try for the visitors.
