THE PREDICTION
Glasgow Warriors were not embarrassed in a 20-13 defeat away at La Rochelle last Sunday, one of the tightest defences in Europe. They have enjoyed some strong performances in the United Rugby Championship so far this season, especially at home to South African sides, but they have stuttered against inferior sides in parts and now face the opposite in visiting Exeter. Rob Baxter’s side thrashed in-form Montpellier 42-6 last Saturday to back-up a huge 18-15 result over Saracens in the Premiership and, with their form looking like returning, covering -7 on the road looks an achievable target here.
