The Lions, led by captain Francke Horn, will look to leverage their strong home form and dynamic style of play, combining forward power with attacking intent across the backline. Glasgow, meanwhile, arrives with a balanced squad and will aim to control tempo while matching the hosts physically.
Head coach Franco Smith acknowledged the scale of the challenge awaiting his side.
“The Lions pose one of the toughest away tests in the BKT URC, defending a strong home record as they chase a place in the playoffs,” he said. “It is a test that we have prepared for in training this week, and one that we know we must be at our best to meet.”
With both teams clear on the demands, the contest is set to be a stern examination of execution and resilience.
