Glasgow Warriors secured a hard-fought 17-16 Champions Cup quarter-final victory over Bulls at Scotstoun, with Max Williamson and Jack Dempsey's first-half tries proving decisive. Despite battling a stiff breeze and torrential rain, Glasgow's tactical flexibility shone as they converted penalties into touch, avoiding lineout risks. The match saw eight points swing in the final eight minutes after Marco van Staden's conversion cut Glasgow's lead, but Adam Hastings' late penalty sealed the win.

Bulls, fielding 14 Springboks, dominated territory early but succumbed to Glasgow's relentless phase play and strategic gamble on touch over goals.
