- Glasgow Warriors and Ulster drew 33-33 in the URC at Scotstoun, with George Horne's penalty hitting the upright with four minutes left to settle the match as a draw after a chaotic finish.
- Ulster led 19-14 at halftime, but Glasgow scored three tries in a nine-minute clinical spell when Ben Carson and Ethan McIlroy were both sin-binned, leaving the visitors temporarily down to 13 players.
- Jacob Stockdale was forced out of Ulster's starting XV in the warm-up before what would have been his 150th cap, with Carson drafted in as a late replacement.
- Chay Mullins marked his Ulster debut with the visitors' bonus-point try just six minutes after the restart, continuing the momentum from McIlroy's earlier score and an Ethan McIlroy offload.
- Glasgow were then reduced to 13 themselves inside the final 10 minutes when Rory Darge and Sam Talakai were sin-binned, and Juarno Augustus crashed over — converted by Nathan Doak — to level the scores at 33-33.
- Glasgow next host Connacht on Friday, while Ulster face Munster in Belfast on Saturday in their respective third matches of the URC season.
Why it matters: The draw extends Ulster's winless run in Glasgow to more than five years and costs Glasgow points at home, where they lost only once all of last season. With both sides seeing two players sin-binned and a match-winning penalty bounce off the post, the result underscores how discipline and composure — rather than attacking quality — decided the outcome.
