A champion performance from the champion team in this season’s United Rugby Championship. As the final whistle sounded in this pulsating Grand Final against the Bulls in Pretoria, it was Scottish voices who could be heard roaring in celebration.
Just as it was Scottish hands which were clutched around the trophy by the time Warriors skipper Kyle Steyn hoisted it high into the night sky. Despite the odds being stacked firmly against them, Franco Smith’s men produced a show of defiance to claim a seismic victory away in South Africa . Mark this down as a result for the ages.
The greatest win in Glasgow’s history, there is no question it tops their victory over Munster when they won the trophy back in 2015. At great altitude on the Highveld, this was the Warr.
