The fixture features two teams with real ambitions to make a title push this season. 

Glasgow has made six changes from the side that beat Ospreys, aiming to close the first block of fixtures on a high. 

The Bulls, meanwhile, welcome back captain Ruan Nortje following his return from Springboks duty. 

Referee Craig Evans (WRU) will take charge, assisted by Mike Adamson and Ru Campbell, with Keith David as TMO.

Glasgow head coach Franco Smith said his team expects a physical contest against one of the league’s deepest squads.

“We know we must be at our best this weekend, as we look to finish the first block of fixtures on a high,” Smith said. “The Bulls possess one of the strongest and deepest squads in the BKT URC… We know we must be at the right level physically and mentally in order to meet their challenge tomorrow night.”

Bulls head coach Johan Ackermann called the trip to Glasgow “another opportunity to measure ourselves” against one of the competition’s most consistent sides.

“It’s a challenge playing Glasgow at home,” Ackermann said. “They have been one of the most consistent sides the last couple of years under Franco Smith… Glasgow have been one of the best attacking sides in the competition, but I want us to focus on ourselves.”

Why Glasgow Warriors vs. Vodacom Bulls Matters

This Round 4 clash pairs two teams with strong starts and long-term title aspirations. 

Glasgow has proven dominant at home under Franco Smith, while the Bulls’ traveling pack — led by Nortje and Marcell Coetzee — makes them one of the most physical sides in the competition.
