"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

The fact Glasgow scored on halftime, against the run of play, was a huge momentum shifter.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were also some poor mistakes from the Bulls in the dying minutes of the match when they had a chance to still sneak a win despite being rocked back for the better part of 40 minutes.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flyhalf Johan Goosen hoofed a penalty over the dead ball line instead of finding touch and a huge opportunity was missed.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if he had found touch though, the Bulls maul was stopped time and time again by Glasgow’s superb defence, so there was no guarantee the outcome would have been different.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then, in the last minute, the Bulls were awarded another penalty. It was in the midfield just inside Glasgow’s 22 with the visitors down to 14-men with flyhalf Tom Jordan in the sin bin for a dangerous tackle.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that they were getting no joy from the lineout maul, it was a gilt-edged chance for the Bulls to go for a scrum, with the Warriors a man down in the backline. But the Bulls went for touch again. And again they were unable to splinter the Glasgow defence from the ensuing rolling maul.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heroic Scottish forwards held the Bulls at bay for the umpteenth time in the match to seal a famous win.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/united-rugby-championship-final-vodacom-bulls-v-glasgow-warriors-3/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2243085\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/TL_2229364.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1390\" /></a> <em>Glasgow Warriors captain Kyle Steyn was a constant threat with the ball in hand as his side pulled off a sensational 21-16 URC final win over the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld.

(Photo: Gordon Arons / Gallo Images)</em></p>\r\n<h4><b>Third winners</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glasgow became the third different URC champions in its third season following Munster and the Stormers. Franco Smith’s team also had to do it the hard way, winning their semifinal away to Munster before toppling the Bulls at their Loftus fortress.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the outcome will sting for the Bulls, especially after their sensational 25-20 win over Leinster in the semifinal, Glasgow’s victory is a boost for the tournament and for Scottish rugby.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glasgow lived up to their title of “Warriors” with a spectacular display from just before halftime until the end of the match after appearing to be out of the contest at 13-0 down inside 25 minutes.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The visitors were full value for their victory with three tries to the one of the Bulls as they found deep wells of resolve on the highveld to stun the pre-match favourites.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A try on the stroke of halftime for Glasgow, scored by lock Scott Cummings from their titanium rolling maul, shifted the momentum the way of the Scots.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That narrowed the deficit to 13-7 at halftime after Marco van Staden scored a try and Johan Goosen converted and landed two penalties to give the Bulls a good lead.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After halftime, it was all Glasgow as they took the game to the Bulls. They dominated possession and territory in the second half, starving the home team of the ball.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From that base, dangerous runners such as fullback Josh McKay, wing and captain Kyle Steyn and centre Sione Tuipulotu broke the line regularly.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bulls scrambled on defence but they were always on the edge and started conceding a slew of penalties. They also missed 37 tackles in all, underlining how stressed they were.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, replacement Warriors hooker George Turner burrowed over from a rolling maul to narrow the deficit to two points after Goosen had added a penalty against the run of play.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centre Huw Jones then scored what proved to be the winner on 63 minutes when he sniped in and scrumhalf George Horne landed his third conversion.</span>\r\n<h4><b>Scorers:</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bulls – Try: Marco van Staden. Conversion: Johan Goosen. Penalties: Goosen (3).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glasgow – Tries: Scott Cummings, George Turner, Huw Jones. Conversions: George Horne (3).</span>",
