Scottish rugby giants Glasgow Warriors clinched the Vodacom United Rugby Championship with a pulsating 21-16 triumph over the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria late Saturday.
The Glasgow Warriors delivered an impressive, polished second-half performance to overturn a first-half deficit and be crowned the 2024 rugby union champions.
The Vodacom Bulls led 13-7 at halftime, thanks to fly half Johan Goosen’s two successful penalty goals that separated the two teams at the break.
However, the Warriors successfully turned things around in the second half to score two more converted tries and then showed true warrior spirit in defence to restrict the Bulls to just one penalty goal in a second period that was loaded with drama.
The result meant bitter disappointment for the Pretoria franchise for the second time in three years following their narrow loss to the DHL Stormers two years ago in Cape Town.
