WHILE Edinburgh head coach Mike Blair was at pains to stress that his players will not be worrying about the significance of Saturday’s United Rugby Championship play-off match against the Stormers, Glasgow Warriors assistant coach Pete Murchie indicated yesterday that his team is adopting a very different approach ahead of taking on Leinster in Dublin on the same day.
The former full-back stressed on several occasions that the players are being encouraged to embrace the challenge of playing a winner-takes-all match against the league’s dominant team, and to recognise that the game has the potential to redefine a generally disappointing season.
