Edinburgh Rugby Head Coach Mike Blair said: “Intercityderbies are always special occasions and tomorrow night is massive for thisclub, our group of players and the supporters who’ve backed us brilliantlythroughout the season. We’ve talked a lot this week about going out andenjoying the game, but doing that by putting everything into the performanceand playing for the jersey for the full 80 minutes. We want to be sharp in ourskills, detail and physicality from the get-go. Playing at BT Murrayfield isalways a special experience and a lot of our younger guys have never played ina Test match atmosphere before, which tomorrow night most certainly will bewith so much on the line. We’re hoping for a massive crowd at BT Murrayfieldand want the city behind us. The more support and noise our fans bring, themore of an occasion it becomes - It’s going to be a proper derby atmosphere.”

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Danny Wilson said: “We played someoutstanding rugby in the first leg of the 1872 Cup at Scotstoun to earn a 30-17lead, but we know that we'll need to up our level again to get the job done onSaturday. 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 supporterswill turn out in force which is massively exciting and motivating for ourplayers. It’s great to welcome Rufus McLean and Thomas Gordon back into thestarting side. Thomas returns after a short term injury and Rufus has workedreally hard with our performance staff to be ready for this game. Derbies arethe biggest games of the season and with a lot riding on this game it certainlylives up to the billing.”
