Scarlets Head Coach Dwayne Peel said: “One of
our goals is to be top of the Welsh Shield and we have got that to play for
this weekend. It is slightly out of our hands with Ospreys playing on Friday,
but we have prepped for having to win this game. We realise we have a difficult
proposition in the Stormers coming to town, it is going to be a tough game, but
one we are relishing.”
DHL Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said: “We have
had a great run of wins at home and this week is a chance to show what we can
do up here. The players understand what is required against a Scarlets team
that will also be highly motivated. We will need full focus and execution to
get the result that we need."

Edinburgh Rugby Head Coach Mike Blair said: “Intercity
derbies are always special occasions and tomorrow night is massive for this
club, our group of players and the supporters who’ve backed us brilliantly
throughout the season. We’ve talked a lot this week about going out and
enjoying the game, but doing that by putting everything into the performance
and playing for the jersey for the full 80 minutes. We want to be sharp in our
skills, detail and physicality from the get-go. Playing at BT Murrayfield is
always a special experience and a lot of our younger guys have never played in
a Test match atmosphere before, which tomorrow night most certainly will be
with so much on the line. We’re hoping for a massive crowd at BT Murrayfield
and want the city behind us. The more support and noise our fans bring, the
more of an occasion it becomes - It’s going to be a proper derby atmosphere.”
Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Danny Wilson said: “We played some
outstanding rugby in the first leg of the 1872 Cup at Scotstoun to earn a 30-17
lead, but we know that we'll need to up our level again to get the job done on
Saturday. Edinburgh are a side who have gone very well at home this season. We’ve had a number of games on the road recently;
however, as this match is being played just along the M8 we know our supporters
will turn out in force which is massively exciting and motivating for our
players. It’s great to welcome Rufus McLean and Thomas Gordon back into the
starting side. Thomas returns after a short term injury and Rufus has worked
really hard with our performance staff to be ready for this game. Derbies are
the biggest games of the season and with a lot riding on this game it certainly
lives up to the billing.”
