    FT: Bulls 16-21 Glasgow Warriors

    More Kyle Steyn: "To go into half-time 13-7 down, we'd have taken that after the first half we had. That settled us.

    "We started the second half really well. We took the intensity up a notch and I'm just chuffed to bits.

    "Franco has been amazing. Anyone can see by the way he does things that he does it with conviction. It's easy for guys to follow him.

    "It was tough in the beginning but he stayed true and consistent. He got the buy-in from players and we've seen the results."

    Unbelievable. Just amazing. Kyle Steyn's dad snuck his way onto the pitch. An unbelievable team.

    There's just no comparing 2015 to this. Those boys have been unbelievable, the last three weeks. That last five minutes with everything against them, to come back and go again and again.

    To come to Pretoria and do it in front of 50,000 fans is incredible. An unbelievable feat.

    Glasgow captain Kyle Steyn tells Premier Sports: "I'm so proud of the guys. Credit to the Bulls, they came out firing in front of their fans and put us under pressure.

    "I'm so proud of the belief of my guys, no matter what's been thrown at us in the last three weeks. No matter what's been thrown at us, they've stuck at it.

    "The defensive shift at the end there, some of the hits up front... I'm over the moon."

    Wow. Utterly incredible. Quality, guts, composure, discipline - time and time again.

    They were asked so many questions, they fell behind, had a yellow card late on.

    The physicality, the brilliance in attack. Three tries to one. No missed goal kicks.

    Everything had to be right.

    Glasgow!!! Epic, absolutely epic.

    What a team, what a season, what a title, won in the hardest of places.

    Class and character.

    The first silverware in Scottish Rugby for almost a decade.

    This Glasgow team is special. An away win in Munster, an away win in Pretoria.

    Reaction to come.

    Glasgow Warriors have won the United Rugby Championship.

    They have won in South Africa. They have beaten the Bulls in Pretoria.

    There are bodies all over the place, there are tears, there are fireworks.

    That was an utterly incredible second-half.

    The maul is held up... and so is the ball!

    The full time whistle goes!

    Akker van der Merwe's throw is good. It's messy, but the clock goes red.

    The ball is knco*ked on, but Glasgow collapsed the maul.

    They thought they'd done it, but they'll need another big set.

    George Turner concedes a penalty right in front of the sticks, with 30 seconds left. He was off his feet.

    Johan Goosen kicks into the corner. That was very close to going dead, but it's good according to the touch judge.

    The URC season comes down to the final play.

    Devon Williams takes aim and puts the ball out near Glasgow's 22m line.

    This needs to be a monstrous defensive set from the Warriors. If anyone can do it, it's probably them.

    This is embarrassing because that's twice now the same clip has been shown. This is why people think TMOs and VAR should be binned.

    Bulls 16-21 Glasgow Warriors

    As soon as we saw the correct replay, Glasgow knew they would be finishing this game with 14. It didn't matter if it was red or yellow.

    Jordan was far too high there. It wouldn't do much damage but it's shoulder to head. He has to drop in height.

    They're showing us a new tackle now and it's Tom Jordan on Francois Klopper.

    Oh dear. That looks red to me. Andrea Piardi is looking for mitigation.

    Either way, Glasgow might have to do this with 14 men.

    It's Jack Dempsey who I think has infringed. An upright tackle, perhaps? Andrea Piardi is in front of the screen with his touch judges, awaiting the images.

    We are shown Henco Venter and Tom Jordan making a tackle - but apparently it's not the right tackle.

    Or is it? Confusion reigns.

    Akker van der Merwe makes a break but his offload is poor and Glasgow force the turnover. That could be the ball game!

    It's Huw Jones who forces it. But there will be a TMO check...

    Glasgow have the ball on the edge of the 22m again and Huw Jones... kicks it out on the full?

    A bizarre decision from the centre but at least not much ground is lost. You'd think the Warriors want to hold onto the ball.

    It's a big maul from the hosts and they're up on the halfway line already.

    Glasgow need their defence to hold firm.

    Bulls are playing a one pass game. They need more adventure.

    If Glasgow can hold their discipline and just don't miss their tackles...

    Glasgow had the ball back on the edge of the 22m but they concede the penalty.

    Johan Goosen tries to boot it into touch but he gets it all wrong as he rushes his kick. It's massively inside the pitch and then it bounces dead.

    A massive, massive mistake.

    Wow has Jack Dempsey showed up after half time.

    He's a great player, so much power, always working hard.
