Glasgow Warriors Down Munster At Thomond Park To Book BKT URC Final
The Glasgow Warriors defeat Munster Rugby to book their place in the 2023-2024 BKT United Rugby Championship final against the Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria.
Franco Smith’s Glasgow Warriors held on to secure a 17-10 win to bring an end to Munster Rugby’s reign as BKT URC champion.
Pouncing on a loose ball against the run of play in the first half through captain Kyle Steyn, the Warriors showed remarkable steel to close out a historic win.

Scoring a second try in the 50th-minute, courtesy of Sebastian Cancelliere, proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Munster would respond through Antoine Frisch in the 55th minute but ultimately would come up short following several uncharacteristic handling errors.
Unlike in previous fixtures, the Munster bench had a negative impact on proceedings as it simply could not get up to the pitch of the match.
Conceding a silly penalty, while having several handling errors, star second-row RG Snyman would have the final error, as they attempted a risky offload to prop John Ryan, who knocked on and essentially ended the contest.
For Graham Rowntree’s men, the result is a major disappointment, as a win would have secured a home final against the Vodacom Bulls.
Instead, it will be the Warriors who travel to Pretoria to face the Bulls, and if their regular-season clash is anything to go by, it will be an exhilarating contest.
