Glasgow’s victory over Edinburgh at Scotstoun last Friday night was their fourth win on the bounce in all competitions, which is a feat they last achieved in May 2019, and if they manage to back that up with a fifth consecutive triumph in this Friday’s 1872 Cup second-leg clash then that will equal a run they last achieved in March 2019.
The men from the west have not beaten Edinburgh at the national stadium since December 2016, so history is not on their side, but Warriors playmaker Tom Jordan believes that his team will feel like they have home advantage on this occasion because they have played at Murrayfield more recently than their opponents.
Edinburgh haven’t played there since last season’s 1872 Cup clash in May, while Glasgow had their Challenge Cup fixture against Perpignan moved there two weekends ago due to a frozen pitch at Scotstoun – and the fact that they won that game 26-18 provides further confidence.
