Overview
- The Lions will meet Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday night with kickoff at 21:45 South African time and Andrea Piardi appointed as referee.
- Coaches Wessel Roux and Ivan van Rooyen have identified lineouts, mauls and scrums as the specific areas that must improve to generate sustained possession and scoreboard pressure.
- The warning follows a 31-10 defeat to Edinburgh in which the Lions’ scrum held up well but missed lineout calls and timing in wet, windy conditions cost them attacking chances.
- Glasgow arrive in strong form, sitting near the top of the URC table after three wins and a draw, and pose a physical, well-drilled threat that punishes poor discipline and lost possession.
- The squad remains emotionally drained after the recent death of teammate Hyron Andrews and the coaches say finishing the tour positively matters ahead of the URC break for the Nations Championship.
