Glasgow Warriors won their final two games of the regular season before they took on Connacht in the quarterfinals. The win against Connacht came by the margin of 12, but Connacht had brought it back within seven points with eight minutes to go, but Kyle Steyn scored his second try of the game to seal it by 12.

The Bulls are potentially the inform team in this competition. They have won seven games in a row and have won 10 of their last 11 matches in the URC. In the quarterfinal against Munster, they controlled the game from the opening few minutes and led to the end. They led 31-14 at halftime, and while they only scored two tries in the second half, they didn’t concede.

These teams have met seven times since the Bulls joined the URC, and the home team has won five of those games. The biggest winning margin in any of these games has been 14 points, and four of the last five games have been decided by a score or less.
