Glasgow Warriors have named their side for tomorrow’s BKT United Rugby Championship semi-final against the Vodacom Bulls at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, with Kyle Steyn starting on the wing and captaining the team. Greg Hiddleston is selected at hooker, Rory Darge will lead from openside flanker and Josh McKay is at full-back as Glasgow chase a place in the final.
The selection lands after Glasgow beat Connacht 33-21 at Scotstoun last week, a win that carried them into the last four and underlined why they have been able to keep this campaign moving toward another title push. Steyn crossed twice in that quarter-final, and his form has given Glasgow a dependable edge as they prepare for a one-off match that now stands between them and the BKT United Rugby Championship Final.
That is what gives the Glasgow Warriors vs Bulls meeting its edge. Glasgow arrive with confidence and home advantage, but they are facing one of the URC’s strongest sides in a semi-final with no margin for a slow start or a missed chance. The match also sits inside a bigger pursuit, with Glasgow chasing back-to-back URC titles and needing one more sharp performance to keep that hope alive.
The friction for Glasgow is simple enough to see from the team sheet. They have momentum, a scorer in Steyn who already proved decisive against Connacht, and a captain in Darge who can anchor them at the breakdown. But Murrayfield will not reward reputation alone, and the Bulls have enough quality to punish any lapse over 80 minutes. Glasgow have named the side; tomorrow will tell whether that selection is enough to carry them into the final.
