URC final: How do Glasgow Warriors beat Bulls?

Another area where Glasgow stood strong against Munster was their set-piece – and they need to again on Saturday.

If Bulls are able to get front-foot ball there, Glasgow will find it incredibly difficult to wrestle back the momentum against a side who have won their last six games on the spin.

“Bulls were dominant at the scrum against Leinster, which is essentially the Ireland pack,” Brown added.

“The Munster game was partly decided by how difficult Munster found it to win clean ball off their lineout.

“Glasgow managed to disrupt their ball and that will be a big part again this weekend. If they can, that will stop a bit of the momentum.”

Then, when Glasgow are in possession, they will be put under pressure by a typical South African blitz defence.

Bulls will look to shut down Glasgow’s options and force them to play narrow.

However, one feature of the Warriors’ attack is the depth with which they play. If scrum-half George Horne can get quick ball, they still might be able to release their in-form back three.

Paterson also thinks Glasgow should look to their talented midfield to get over the gain-line, with Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones once again partnered in the centres.

“If Glasgow are able to break the line in midfield, they’ll get on the front foot,” he said.

“If they can’t beat that flying defence, that’s where they’ll be under pressure”

Glasgow will take the field as underdogs in Pretoria, but they have shown time and time again this season that you cannot afford to write them off.
