Warriors record to give them belief against Leinster

We've been there, we’ve done that.

That’s the message from Glasgow Warriors assistant coach Pete Murchie to his side ahead of the daunting task of taking on four-in-a-row URC winners Leinster.

The teams meet in the quarter-finals at the RDS on Saturday (3.15pm, live on RTÉ2) with Leinster looking to salvage something from their season following a devastating Heineken Champions Cup final defeat to La Rochelle on Saturday.

Leo Cullen’s side have ruled the domestic roost but Glasgow’s recent record against Leinster will give them belief.

Although they were beaten earlier this season in Scotstoun, 31-15, the Warriors claimed home and away wins in the 2018/19 season and came out the right side of a Rainbow Cup match 12 months ago.

"We have won there before," said Murchie, whose side conceded 13 penalties in their final regular season game two weeks ago, a 28-11 loss to Edinburgh.

"There are guys in this team who have won before, numerous guys.

"Yeah, they have got a good record, but we have got to have the mindset of putting out our best performance.

"We have players who have won there and that’s invaluable. We have got to feed off that.

"We have just got to give it absolutely everything we have got and leave nothing in the tank.

"We have lots of guys who have gone all the way – guys who have won it, guys who have made finals, semi-finals consistently.

"Leinster are pretty experienced in that as well but having guys who know what it takes to win these knockout games is important."
