Bulls once again in Glasgow’s path to URC gloryImage source, SNSImage caption, Glasgow Warriors captain Kyle Steyn is expecting another tough battle with BullsByAndy BurkeBBC Sport Scotland Senior ReporterPublished21 minutes agoIn a campaign where Glasgow Warriors have at times looked like redefining what is possible for a Scottish side, it seems unthinkable they could end the season empty handed.Trophies have to be earned, however, and Warriors know from previous experience this season that for all the hard work and fantastic wins that lay a path to glory, one off-day can bring your challenge to an abrupt halt.After a perfect four bonus-point wins from four Champions Cup pool stage matches – including thrilling victories over Toulouse and Saracens – and a gritty win over the Bulls in the last 16, Warriors were fancied to take care of Toulon at home to secure a first European semi-final in the club’s history.The French giants had other ideas and edged a tight, attritional affair to end Glasgow’s European adventure.It was a loss that seemed to knock Franco Smith’s side off course. In the aftermath, two chastening United Rugby Championship defeats in South Africa by the Lions and the Stormers left Warriors in a slump that threatened to consume their season.”Up until then, it had been a really strong season for us. We probably hadn’t run into too much trouble,” Glasgow wing Kyle Steyn told the BBC’s Scotland Rugby Podcast.”Rugby is pretty good at that, it brings you back down to earth pretty quickly. Those three weeks definitely did.”I was really proud of the fact that the group didn’t really overreact. We knew that it’s that old cliche saying, you’re never as good as you are when you win and you’re never as bad as you are when you lose.”Having been through that before in seasons and understanding that it is a long season and things like this happen, it’s about how do you refocus as quickly as possible?”Bulls overpower Munster to reach URC semi-finals
