Glasgow Warriors and Ulster played out a thrilling 33-33 draw in the United Rugby Championship at Scotstoun. Ulster, seeking their first win in Glasgow in over five years, led 19-14 at the break. The Warriors scored three tries in a nine-minute spell while Ulster had two players sin-binned to take the lead. However, Glasgow were reduced to 13 players in the final 10 minutes, and Juarno Augustus' try, converted by Nathan Doak, levelled the match. Despite being two players down, George Horne had a chance to win but his penalty hit the post with four minutes left.

Ulster started strongly, taking the lead when Bryn Ward scored in the fourth minute, converted by Jack Murphy. Glasgow responded through Josh Mc Kay, with Horne converting to level. Ulster regained the lead when Ethan Mc Ilroy scored after pressure, and later Murphy crossed via an offload from Mc Ilroy to make it 19-14 at half-time.

After the break, Chay Mullins scored Ulster's bonus-point try, extending the lead to 12 points. But indiscipline saw Ben Carson and Mc Ilroy sent to the sin-bin, allowing Glasgow to fight back with tries from Jamie Dobie and Sam Talakai, both converted by Horne. Despite late sin-bins for Rory Darge and Talakai, Augustus' try and Doak's conversion levelled the game. Horne's late penalty missed, and the match ended in a draw.
