Glasgow Warriors enter their Champions Cup quarter-final against Toulon as clear favourites after a dominant season. The Scottish side have won 16 of 19 games this campaign, including five consecutive Champions Cup victories at Scotstoun. Toulon, struggling in the Top 14 with just two away wins in 12 attempts, face an uphill battle against Glasgow's relentless attacking rugby.

Franco Smith's side boasts Europe's stingiest defence, conceding the fewest tries in this season's tournament. While Glasgow's ambition and elan define their play, their defensive solidity has been equally impressive. The absence of scrum-half George Horne is a blow, but Smith remains confident in replacements Ben Afshar and Jack Oliver. Toulon's desperation for silverware in a disappointing season adds intrigue to the clash.

Glasgow's transformation from European minnows to genuine contenders has been remarkable. Their previous quarter-final appearances ended in heavy away defeats, making home advantage crucial. Smith acknowledges Toulon's pedigree with three European Cups but notes their reliance on foreign stars contrasts with Glasgow's development-focused approach. The Warriors aim to reach their first semi-final, likely against Leinster, continuing their historic run in what promises to be a defining moment for Scottish rugby.
