Rassie Erasmus happy 4G pitch won’t hand advantage to Glasgow

Munster director of rugby Rassie Erasmus is satisfied that the synthetic 4G pitch at Scotstoun will not make any appreciable difference in favour of Glasgow Warriors when the sides clash in tomorrow’s all-important European Champions Cup game at Scotstoun.

In fact, with the weather forecast anything but favourable, Erasmus is happy that the game will still take place on a dry, firm surface which did little harm to his side when they eked out a late 16-15 PRO12 victory at the same venue on December 2.

On that occasion, a late drop goal by Ian Keatley was the difference with all indications that the outcome will be just as close this time round.
