The Warriors fought back from 13-0 down to become the first Scottish side to lift the URC Championship in its current form.
Glasgow were tonight celebrating the greatest win in their history after they fought back from 13-0 down to beat the Bulls in the URC Grand Final.
It took the Bulls barely 90 seconds to open the scoring. Jack Dempsey was penalised for not releasing, and Johan Goosen coolly knocked over the penalty from out wide. But the touchdown was only delayed, as five minutes later Marco van Staden drove over on his own from the back of a maul. The back-row forward was half-held at one point, but he got back to his feet and powered on across the line. Goosen’s conversion made it 13-0.
But the Scots hit back within two minutes. George Turner, playing his last game for the club before moving to Japan, finished off from the back of a lineout maul after a penalty had gone to touch. Horne’s conversion closed the gap to 16-14.
