Franco Smith’s side host the Irish outfit at Scotstoun in the first of four quarter-final fixtures
The regular URC season is over and this weekend will see the first round of play-off matches taking place as the quarter-finals get underway.
It all starts at Scotstoun on Friday night when Glasgow Warriors host Connacht as Franco Smith’s side look to lift the trophy for a second time in three years. If they can then they would become the first club to win the competition twice since it rebranded back in 2021.
Standing in their way at the first hurdle are the Irish outfit who secured their spot in the knockout phase with a win away to Edinburgh last time out. They face Warriors, who finished top of the regular season standings, by merit of coming in eighth place.
