GAME DAY I Lions raise themselves for one last effort against unbeaten Glasgow

The Lions' difficult tour ends on Friday in Glasgow where they have the unenviable task of playing one of the URC's top teams.

GAME DAY I Lions raise themselves for one last effort against unbeaten Glasgow

On Friday night, the Lions will face the unbeaten Glasgow Warriors in Glasgow, three weeks after Hyron Andrews' passing in La Rochelle, which had put the Lions on the plane. Forwards coach Wessel Roux acknowledges the challenging journey but emphasizes the team's focus on preparing for the Warriors. Roux notes that the team's performance in the cold and wet conditions against Edinburgh last week, along with the forecasted weather, has been taken into account.

He stresses that the team has made efforts to overcome the tragedy and focus on their upcoming game. The Lions' squad includes international players and a well-coached team led by Franco Smith, known for their attacking mindset and strong set-piece play. Glasgow Warriors are favored to win, but the Lions will do their best to prepare for the difficult conditions and compete against the top-ranked team.
