In a gripping encounter at Scotstoun, the Glasgow Warriors and Ulster played to an electrifying 33-33 draw in the United Rugby Championship on September 30, 2023.

Ulster, aiming for their first win in Glasgow in over five years, led 19-14 at halftime. They initially took control when Bryn Ward scored in the fourth minute, converted by Jack Murphy. However, the Warriors responded with a try from Josh McKay, leveling the match.

Key moments included:

  • Kyle Rowe scoring to give Glasgow a temporary lead.

  • A late first-half try from Murphy, giving Ulster a five-point advantage at the break.

The second half saw Chay Mullins score on his debut for Ulster, extending their lead to 26-14. Yet, indiscipline plagued Ulster as they faced two yellow cards, allowing Glasgow to capitalize with tries from Jamie Dobie and Sam Talakai, putting them ahead 33-26.

With time running out, Glasgow’s advantage evaporated as Juarno Augustus leveled the match for Ulster. In a dramatic finish, George Horne had a chance to win it but hit the post with a penalty.
