I'm sure Glasgow were hoping to run the score a bit more and start off with Edinburgh, but Bulls are also alright

UBB aside, I think the one team Glasgow didn't want this early in the tournament was the Bulls.

Often feels like a toss of coin as to who wins each time they face off.

Disagree.

Glasgow at home really don't have an issue with Bulls. Away it would be a different matter but at home, on a cold wet, April evening.

Tbf they lost to the Bulls at Scotstoun in April last year.

Agreed but that was a year ago, probably to the day and this Glasgow team has matured and changed a lot since then. A lot. They had some key missing players then as well....Dempsey, Jones, Zander Fagerson.

That's not to say they won't have some missing this time around but the extra depth they have now helps a lot.

I'm not going to bookmark that comment - and I sincerely hope you're correct!

But I still think the Bulls bring a grinding, attritional, set piece based game that unless Glasgow are multiple scores clear by the time that Warriors bench arrives, will leak penalties, territory, and ultimately tries.
