Glasgow Warriors suffered a 36-15 defeat away to Ulster in the PRO14 tonight, a result that leaves Edinburgh’s progress in the competition still in doubt.
While Glasgow have already secured a semi-final place, next Saturday’s 1872 Cup decider against Edinburgh at Murrayfield takes on additional significance.
Edinburgh could be pipped for a play-off place if they were to lose to Glasgow in the inter-city clash, while at the same time, Conference B rivals Ulster will be squaring up in their remaining match against Munster at Thomond Park, trying to secure a bonus-point win.
In Belfast, Ulster outscored Glasgow four tries to two, both of Warriors scores coming from skipper Callum Gibbins as the hosts dominated the second half having been 16-10 up at the break.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
