Glasgow v Bulls: What does history tell us?
- Published
What can history tell us about Glasgow Warriors' chances of dispatching Bulls in Saturday's URC semi-final at Murrayfield?
The teams have met seven times in all competitions since South African sides joined the URC in 2021-22, with Glasgow winning four to Bulls' three.
Home advantage has proved key. Glasgow have three wins on their own patch while Bulls have two, with just one away victory apiece. Glasgow's was a memorable one, coming in June 2024 when they triumphed 21-16 in the grand final in Pretoria to secure the title.
This season, Glasgow have racked up two home victories over Bulls, winning 21-12 in the URC in October and then 25-21 in April to reach the Champions Cup quarter-finals.
While Franco Smith's side are at home this weekend, will the switch from Scotstoun to Murrayfield dilute their advantage?
Warriors welcome a Bulls side who have hit form at the business end of the season, winning six successive URC games, while Glasgow have four victories in their past six.
Saturday's fixture marks Warriors' third consecutive appearance in a URC semi-final. Bulls have won all three of their previous semi-finals in the competition, but have lost the final each time.
