Intensity key for Glasgow in Bulls semi-final, says Steyn

Kyle Steyn isn't fussed whether Bulls regard facing Glasgow Warriors at Murrayfield rather than Scotstoun as an advantage.

All the Warriors captain cares about is making sure his side are ready to match the South Africans' intensity when the sides collide on Saturday for a place in the URC final.

Speaking on the BBC Scotland Rugby Podcast, winger Steyn said: "I'm not really too bothered about how they see it, to be honest.

"The challenge is going to be there anyway. We've come up against them twice this season [two Glasgow home wins, in URC and Champions Cup] and they've both been really physical, tight games and we're expecting nothing less.

"They're a team that thrives on this and we're just excited to see what we can bring to that and how we rise to that challenge at home.

"The set-piece battle is huge, the kicking game is going to be massive and then just the physicality, they pride themselves on that, we pride ourselves on that. That's what you get when you get two teams that really want to stamp their mark on that.

"The intensity of the collision on both sides of the ball just goes up a notch, then you add the fact that it's a semi-final and that's the way those games go.

"We're not underestimating it in any way, but we're really focused on how we're going to bring that level of intensity to our game."
