Glasgow Warriors scored a last-gasp try to snatch victory in a Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash against the DHL Stormers on Sunday evening.
It is a heartbreaking loss for the Stormers, who three times clawed their way back into the contest just as it seemed to be getting away from them and led 12-10 at the break. The visitors had their opportunities to go a potential winner and particularly had the upper hand for a period after replacement flank Junior Pokomela powered over in the second half.
However, Franco Smith’s Warriors showed better composure when it mattered most and got the better of the defending champions’ replacement front row late on in the match. Ex-Stormers centre Huw Jones put his former side under immense pressure in a Man of the Match performance for the Scottish international.
The Stormers will next make the short trip to England to take on London Irish in the Champions Cup on Sunday afternoon.
