The RCT faces Glasgow this Friday, May 19 at 9 p.m. in the final of the Rugby Challenge Cup. Both teams are aiming for their first title in this competition.
Glasgow was stopped in its tracks against Munster during the last meeting they played on May 6 (5-14) after having chained 7 wins in a row. The Warriors are aiming for a first victory in this Challenge Cup after having dismissed the Scarlets in the semi-finals (35-17). “This is bound to be one of the greatest games in Glasgow club history,” Warriors second-row Richie Gray said.
For the Toulonnais, the dynamic is less good than their evening opponents because they have won only one of their last four matches. This only success was in the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup against Treviso (23-0) despite a red card received by Charles Ollivon in the 6th minute of the game. “A final is a 50/50 game. Glasgow are a good team, they deserve to be in the final and in a final it doesn’t matter if you play good rugby or not, you have to win” , said Sergio Parisse.
