Glasgow will, however, be boosted by the return of some key Scotland international players, as they seek to bounce back after the disappointment of a 34-26 defeat in Galway.
"We were poor," admitted assistant coach Peter Murchie in the Evening Times. "It was a poor performance and it was definitely frustrating. We turned the ball over 23 times, which is a huge amount and they got the better of us physically in the first half. We were pretty fortunate to be ahead at half-time and we had the wind with us, which was more than a ten-point wind.
"We were better in some aspects in the second half but our attack didn't really click until the last 10 or 15 minutes. We were better defensively in the second half but they physically got on top of us in the first half, which we are disappointed with.
"Sometimes things go against you, especially away from home with a partisan crowd. We couldn't really get anything going in our game and sometimes things can compound themselves. You've got to switch momentum and there are loads of ways that you can do that like Kyle Rowe's try. It was a classic momentum shifter from a restart but we just didn't double down on that and kick on.
"We continued to make mistakes after that and it's about learning how to become better at managing the game when things are going against us in all forms. So it doesn't take until half-time to get the message up to the guys to sort a few issues out, we'd prefer to get it sorted immediately and we'd probably see a different scoreline."
