Glasgow Warriors V RC Toulon Match Preview

In the EPCR Challenge Cup’s championship game on Friday night, Glasgow Warriors will play in their first-ever EPCR final against RC Toulon.

Kickoff is scheduled at 20:00 (UK & Irish time) at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, and it promises to be an exciting game.

Prior to this season, Glasgow had never advanced past the quarterfinals of an EPCR competition, but they had a fantastic campaign that allowed them to beat teams like the Dragons RFC, Emirates Lions, and Scarlets in the knockout round.

In contrast, Toulon has participated in seven EPCR finals, winning three of them (2013, 2014, and 2015) and losing all four (2010, 2012, 2020, 2022) in the EPCR Challenge Cup.

This weekend, a first-time winning team is assured in the EPCR Challenge Cup final.

Glasgow Warriors only made it to the final once, but Toulon made it to four finals between 2010 and 2022.

Glasgow and Toulon have lost on all five times combined. This weekend, that record is altered.
Toulon took first position in Pool A, and Glasgow came in second. The French team easily defeated Benetton, who finished second in Pool B, 23-0, and advanced to the championship game.

Glasgow defeated the Dragons by a score of 73 points in their opening elimination match before defeating the Lions and, most impressively, the Pool B champion Scalets by a score of 35-17 to advance to the final.
