Glasgow aim 'to prove people wrong' - Matthews

Written by

"We spoke about this week that pressure is a privilege and a lot of people maybe from the outside are talking us down - and that's fine.

Glasgow, historically as a club and as a city, have had backs against the wall and fought out of it. So, we're relishing the challenge.

"We know when the Scotstoun crowd is behind us we're a pretty tough side to beat here and we just can't wait to prove quite a few people wrong."

Back-to-back defeats by the Bulls and the Lions in South Africa and a below-par performance in victory over Zebre have added to the sense Glasgow may have lost form at just the wrong time.

However, Matthews believes the regular season counts for little in the play-offs and says the team are determined to learn lessons from last seasons quarter-final defeat in the URC.

"We came up against Munster, who were probably perceived to be at the other end - we were on the rise and they were dropping," Matthews, the leagues top scorer this season with 14 tries, added.

"They turned us over and went on to win the competition. So, they proved that it doesn't matter.

"They were on the road three times and won all three and ended up winning the competition, which is something to be admired and something that we're going to try and replicate this season if we have to do that later on.

"We're all just chomping at the bit to right the wrongs of last year."
