In a dramatic United Rugby Championship semi‑final at Murrayfield, the Bulls erased an 18‑point deficit to edge past Glasgow Warriors 40‑39. Glasgow entered the match after a Champions Cup quarter‑final loss to Toulon, hoping to secure silverware. The South Africans, runners‑up for two successive seasons, needed a comeback to stay alive.

Glasgow, who topped the URC table, struck first when Kyle Rowe fed Steyn for a try, followed quickly by a second Steyn score from a Tuipulotu offload, giving them a 21-10 halftime lead. A penalty try and a yellow card to Ruan Nortje compounded the hosts’ woes, while the Bulls rallied through Johan Grobbelaar’s try and Handre Pollard’s conversion.

The Bulls seized momentum when Embrose Papier dived over early in the second half, then Cameron Hanekom broke the line and Francois Klopper scored under the posts, letting Pollard add a conversion. Nineteen unanswered points put the visitors ahead; a late penalty miss sealed a 40‑39 win and a fourth URC final on 20 June. Victory highlights the Bulls’ resilience and ends Glasgow’s campaign despite topping table.
