Glasgow Warriors return to URC action to face the Dragons on Saturday evening, in a matchup, on paper, that should be won by the home side.

The Welsh side has struggled for years to shake its reputation as perennial underdogs, while Glasgow has consistently sat in the league’s upper tier.

The stats underline it:

• Glasgow have won 8 of the last 9 meetings with Dragons.
• Their average winning margin in those games sits at around 20 points.
• Dragons’ last win against Glasgow came back in 2018.

And yet — sport doesn’t always respect statistics. Dragons can be awkward, gritty, and combative. Glasgow has greater depth and quality across the park, but complacency is a killer. Franco Smith’s men will know that an early slip in the season could undo all the momentum they’ve been building.

What’s your call: a routine Glasgow win, or do the Dragons finally bite back and spring an upset?
