The Bulls temporarily moved up to second place on the United Rugby Championship standings after their bonus-point win over Glasgow Warriors at Loftus.
It took a while for the Bulls' engines to start, though. They lost some momentum through the middle of the second half but regained some impetus as the first half drew to a close, but there was little to separate the sides after a penalty try and penalty goal-kick each. The Warriors had failed to get a clean exit after the restart, and, four minutes after they scored the first try of the evening, Burger punished them at the other end.
Glasgow Warriors now face a must-win game against Edinburgh to qualify for the play-offs of the United Rugby Championship.
Bulls kept cranking up the pressure, with their line-out maul particularly profitable, and there was no need to refer it upstairs for a video review when Walt Steenkamp burst past Brown and propelled himself over. That was a big let-off, but Warriors seemed determined to make life hard for themselves, conceding a couple more penalties, which eventually led to referee Nika Amashukeli understandably losing patience and sending Zander Fagerson for 10 minutes in the sin-bin. This approach paid off with the line-out maul being illegally collapsed by Erlich Louw, leading to a yellow-card and penalty try.

Duncan Weir nudged Glasgow back in front with a penalty midway through the half, but a second Steyn penalty then brought the Bulls level at 10-10. Danny Wilson’s side got off to an excellent start in Pretoria, being awarded a penalty try after the home side collapsed a maul just short of their own goal line. Yet despite that rousing ending, the bigger picture showed a second half in which they were steadily worn down by the home side after going in at the break just seven points behind, with a final score of 29-17 in favour of the hosts.

It was an inauspicious opening 40 minutes, in fact, as the Bulls produced arguably their worst first half of 2022.
