The Vodacom Bulls produced a stunning comeback at Murrayfield, keeping Glasgow scoreless in the second half to book their place in the final. Meanwhile, Leinster survived a fierce challenge from the DHL Stormers in Dublin to keep their title defence… pic.twitter.com/fWtbXz2QmL
Credit to Bulls for winning in Glasgow. Rewarded by getting to pop over to Dublin.

SA teams have added new dimension to URC, in a good way. But the travel involved for their games hurts attendances and financial/commercial viability of league. Just isn’t sustainable long term.
Thought Brace was excellent! Davidson less so - but neither caused the one side to win and the other to lose! Bulls deserved it as did Leinster.
