Glasgow battle past Bulls to reach quarter-finals
The visitors led 14-12 at half-time as a stiff breeze at their backs helped Bulls dominated territory, with Johan Grobbelaar scoring a try and Handre Pollard booting three penalties. When the sides turned around, Glasgow's greater ambition triumphed - just. Schickerling's try was pivotal, coming when the majority of Scotstoun thought they should have taken an easy three points from a penalty.
Their fourth came soon after from McDowall. The Warriors were eight points ahead with eight minutes left, but Marco van Staden's converted score a few minutes from the end set up a dramatic end. The last act fell to Adam Hastings with a penalty as the clock was running out.
He banged it over in front of the posts and a richly deserved four-point win was secured. Scotstoun wasn't hit by the worst excesses of Storm Dave, but it was hardly pleasant out there either. The wind swept, the rain hit and the game was a mighty battle.
Feyi-Waboso stars as Exeter hold off Munster charge Bulls backed their way into the last 16, qualifying for the knockouts despite losing three of their group matches, conceding a half century to Northampton and 61 points to Bristol. They picked hybrid teams for those contests. Here, they were mob-handed with 14 Springboks in their party, an amount of grunt which they unleashed on their hosts from early on, their reward coming from Pollard's boot.
The visitors were in Glasgow with a conservative gameplan, all power and phases and pressure. Glasgow tried to play, as is their custom. To say it was a clash of styles was putting it mildly.
