Henry Pyrgos says the Warriors never stopped believing
Glasgow left it late before snatching victory in Friday's PRO12 semi-final but Henry Pyrgos says the Warriors never stopped believing in themselves despite the stranglehold Ulster had on them for much of the game.

Speaking in today's Scotland on Sunday, Henry said: “I think we believed the whole game. Obviously the set piece was tough. We didn’t get a lot of ball. They are a top side, we knew that coming in and they put us under pressure. But with the character in the team we managed to stay in the game when we weren’t playing well and at 8-6 down at half-time, we hadn’t really done a lot.

“There was a lot of confidence in the changing room. If we could just get a bit of ball and put them under pressure, which we hadn’t really managed to do – we spent a lot of time in our half – we could get in the game. Obviously we managed to get some ball and built a number of phases. Their defence was unbelievable, they kept us out, it was tough but a great pass from Finn [Russell], DTH [van der Merwe] was obviously in the right place and it was a great [conversion] kick. That was it really.”
