Season Overview

edit

Glasgow Warriors hoped that this year they would improve on last season's defeat in the semi-final play-off when they finished 3rd in the Pro12 league.

Al Kellock was named as captain again for the eighth season in a row.[1]

A row over the future of the Heineken Cup overshadowed the start of the season.[2] In fact, this was to be the last year of the Heineken Cup in its present format and it was replaced by the European Rugby Champions Cup.

Pro12

edit

Glasgow Warriors had a great start to the season winning their first five matches leaving them top of the league.[17] However the results over the winter period were inconsistent and it wasn't until the spring that the side really got going again.[18] Matches postponed over the winter period against Edinburgh and Treviso really helped give a late charge to the line. Glasgow's victory over Edinburgh in the 1872 decider won the 1872 Cup for the fifth year in a row and they found themselves second in the league.[19] By the end of the league season, the Warriors had comfortably secured second spot. In fact, despite the inconsistent winter period the Glasgow side finished with more wins than first-placed Leinster, with only the Irish side's knack of securing bonus points giving them a slender lead.

This was the last season that a top finish secured a home semi-final and possible home final, so Leinster were favourites in the play-offs. They played 4th place Ulster in Dublin in their semi-final whilst Glasgow Warriors had a bruising match against 3rd place Munster at a packed Scotstoun.[20] Perhaps crucially it was the Warriors first semi-final at home.[21] It was the Glasgow side's 9th consecutive win in the season run-in.[22]

Both Leinster and Glasgow Warriors won through, so Leinster secured their home final as expected. 5000[23] of the Warrior Nation[24] made their way to Dublin to a very tight RDS Arena only to see Leinster take charge of the match in the second half and run out 34–12 winners.[25]

Europe

edit

Despite initial confidence over a decent European run[31] Glasgow Warriors had a mixed European campaign in 2013–14. The first match against Toulon seemed to sum up the Warriors' European experience over the season; good in parts but not consistent enough to win out.

Unfortunately for the Warriors, aside from the opening two games in October, the European matches fell in a winter period when they suffered most from inconsistencies. Losing both matches against Cardiff Blues - a side that finished 7th in the Pro12 that year - really put paid to any hopes and the last match at home to Toulon which could have otherwise ended in a group decider fizzled out with another Toulon victory. Only wins against the Exeter Chiefs gave any solace and the Warriors finished bottom of their group.
