'Richer, classier, hungrier Glasgow eye more history against Toulon'
For Toulon, who are in 11th place in France's Top 14, this is their one shot at glory. That desperation is something Smith spoke about on Friday after he named his team. Toulon's rage to save their season is not lost on him.
Definitely lost for Warriors is George Horne, the heartbeat at scrum-half, who has not recovered from an injury he sustained when beating the Bulls last weekend. Ben Afshar is in and 22-year-old Jack Oliver is on the bench. Oliver has seen about an hour's action this season.
Horne's absence could be a problem, but Smith talks like it's an opportunity. If you're expecting the South African to exhibit even a scintilla of concern about his injured nine then forget about it. He didn't blink when asked.
Not once. "As much as we tried to get him [Horne] ready for this week we've made the clever decision to trust the boys that we've got," he said, before revealing that Horne could be fit again in the next week or two. "Both Ben and Jack have proven over the last six, seven months that they're ready to take that baton and I'm very excited about that.
I've honestly got all the confidence in the world [in them]. " Glasgow have never had home advantage at this stage of the Champions Cup. Their previous quarter-final appearances being heavy defeats away from home.
