SLAYING THE BULLS

Warriors surge to URC summit by seeing off South Africans

- 

GLASGOW blitzed the Bulls to move to the top of the URC table.

Franco Smith's side were fired up for this grudge match with the South Africans.

It was a thriller that ebbed and flowed before Warriors pulled away in the second half to seal a precious victory.

Glasgow captain Kyle Steyn said: "It was a really tough one as the Bulls kept firing shots.

"I thought we played a lot of good rugby in the first half and maybe didn't get the rewards for it.

"But I was really proud of the boys. When it got tough and got tight, that’s when they stood up and made it happen."

The home side almost got off to a flier. Scott Cummings made a brilliant burst down the middle before passing to George Horne. It looked certain that the Scotland scrumhalf would get over the line only to be stopped by some last-gasp defending.

But Glasgow kept up the early pressure and it eventually told.
