Blame it on the bogey

Sam Pinder is set to play his 100th match for Glasgow
Glasgow will be taking on their Magners League bogey team when they travel to Wales to play the Dragons on Sunday.

In nine previous encounters between the two sides Glasgow have won just once: 48-20 at Hughenden in March 2004.

Glasgow scrum-half Sam Pinder was one of Glasgow's try scorers in the victory that day. Sam will make his 100th appearance for Glasgow on Sunday and he knows just how tough a challenge the Dragons will set for the Warriors.

“I’ve only beaten them once in the whole five years I’ve been here. They seem to be a bit of a bogey team for us because I think they play a similar game to Glasgow.

“They’ve had the upper hand in most battles but we’re definitely looking to turn that around on Sunday that’s for sure.”

The Dragons haven't won a game since their 18-16 victory at Glasgow in the Magners League on 4 January, whilst they've won just once at Rodney Parade in all competitions since October.

Glasgow Warriors’ only win in their last six encounters in the Magners League was 9-6 at home to the Ospreys on 29 February. Glasgow are winless away from home in the Magners League this season, and have not won in Wales since a 57-30 victory at Stradey Park in April 2005.
