GLASGOW have been handed a significant advantage going into Saturday’s derby thanks to the decision to play the game at BT Murrayfield, according to Warriors assistant coach Nigel Carolan.
The switch of venue for Edinburgh’s home game is primarily for economic reasons: ticket sales for the URC clash at the national stadium are already three times the capacity of the DAM Health Stadium, the capital club’s new home. But some Edinburgh players have said they would have preferred to stay at the DAM for the game, and Carolan thinks the psychological effect of the switch will play into his own team’s hands.
