Key Matchups

Aki’s first start asks a harder question of Glasgow’s midfield than the May teams did. The starting props and the timing of Bealham’s introduction matter, while Horne can change Glasgow’s attacking speed from the bench. Starting-unit edges are qualified selection judgments; they are not retrieved scrum, lineout or player-performance measurements. Glasgow’s six-forward bench brings Cummings’ supporting options Brown and Oguntibeju, plus Horne for tempo. Connacht answer with Bealham, Murphy and Gilbert; those counters keep the general depth score neutral.
