No, the Glasgow Warriors were not banished from Scotland after the Investec Champions Cup quarterfinals. But they are going about as far away as a Scottish team can go this week.
After a disappointing early exit in the Investec Champions Cup, the United Rugby Championship table leader, who was the No. 2 seed in the ICC, heads to Johannesburg, South Africa, and the famed Ellis Park for a massive showdown with the — checks notes again — Fidelity SecureDrive Lions in Round 15.

The Lions are one of the biggest stories in club rugby this season, and not just because of a mid-season club name change. The club from South Africa’s largest city is trying to qualify for the Investec Champions Cup field for the first time and make the URC playoffs.
They could do a lot more than that if they can hang with the Warriors.
Despite the shocking loss to Toulon in the Champions Cup at Scotstoun Stadium, the Warriors are still 11-0-3 with a four-point lead over the No. 2 club, the DHL Stormers. The 2024 URC champions have a history of winning in South Africa, beating the Vodacom Bulls in the URC Grand Final that year.
The Lions have never lost to the Warriors in South Africa, but the last time the two clubs met, Glasgow beat the Lions 42-0 in Scotland. But this Lions team is different. The club has scored 421 points this season, more than any club in the league.
However, they also have the 14th-ranked defense.
Can the Warriors bounce back? Will they even send their A-team? Can the Lions move up the table and secure a top-eight finish with just four rounds to go?
This is why Fidelity SecureDrive Lions vs. Glasgow Warriors is the FloRugby Match of the Week.
