Glasgow head coach Franco Smith told Premier Sports: “The rain that came down before the game made it even more complicated. Well done to the boys, we knew we’d be good in the second half if we stuck to our guns.
“We did well keeping them out at the end of the first half. In general it was a great physical effort and the boys applied themselves well tonight.
“We said that if we get the ball, we’re not going to give it back to them easily and that paid off.
“The recovery will be important. We’ve planned it already and the menu we need to get through is shorter. I want them as fresh as possible but everything is planned.”
“We carried the ball well, we have all season. We just asked the guys not to go off-script. We didn’t want to give them broken play. They’ll keep giving us the ball and we’ll do what we need to do with it.”
Glasgow’s player of the match George Horne tells BBC Scotland’s Andy Burke: “We’ve got the beenfit of having this [weather] all year. We do a lot of work on it, kicking into the wind, so I’m chuffed.
“They’re an unbelievable team, so physical. Our big men up front were unbelievable. They stood up to every test. The Stormers were battering at the door and we held them out. Credit to everyone.
“As a group, we’ve not been great at this year – when the going gets tough we’ve gone into our shells. Sione Tuipulotu was barging down doors, Seba [Cancelliere] doing what he does, and that was a huge moment for us. I’m glad they’re on our team.
“It’s a massive challenge, they’re a class team and they’re the reigning champions for a reason. If we front up like we did tonight, why can’t we?”
