Friday 29 May 2026

Match of the Day

Glasgow defeat Connacht to book semi-final slot

The Warriors punched their ticket to the semi-finals of the URC after overcoming Connacht on Friday. The victory immediately set up a clash where the Glasgow Warriors will host either the Bulls or Munster next weekend. While the semi-final pairings are set, the post confirmed that this result means the Bulls' home semi-final hopes have been dashed.

Glasgow cemented their status as tournament contenders following the win, setting up a massive home fixture that pits them against the remaining finalists from the quarter-finals. The action has been relentless, with the league going through an opening five rounds and showcasing genuine footballing skill. Meanwhile, the Stormers are preparing for their own marquee quarter-final showdown against Cardiff Rugby in Cape Town on Saturday.

The Welsh contingent, meanwhile, is getting closer to optimal condition for their own highly anticipated tie. Corniel van Zyl’s squad has fought to return to near full strength, despite having played the Stormers previously without key players, including Alex Mann, Josh Adams, Josh McNally, Mason Grady, and Callum Sheedy. Adding depth to the Cardiff camp, scrum-half Johan Mulder is joining the squad for the quarter-final, having secured a new long-term deal.

Talking Point
The preparation and roster depth of Cardiff Rugby, who are rapidly assembling themselves for their quarter-final showdown with the Stormers.
