Franco Smith has a reputation as being a bit of a stern figure who has no time for light-hearted banter, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nobody has done more than my old head coach at Glasgow in giving us a glimpse of what life is like behind the scenes at Scotstoun. He’s allowed Premier Sports — and me in particular — access to areas you wouldn’t ordinarily get to see on live television.

Leinster away from home in a Champions Cup quarter-final is about as tough as it gets but I genuinely believe Glasgow Warriors can go to the Aviva on Friday night and cause an upset. I got stick from folk last season for tipping my old club to go all the way in the URC and we saw how that one turned out. And I have a feeling again that Franco Smith and the boys have what it takes to go to Dublin and land another big win.

I’ve heard a lot of chat from people tipping Glasgow as dark horses for the Champions Cup this season and I can’t see any reason why they shouldn’t be up there challenging. To be honest, as the reigning URC champions, I’d say my old club are better than just dark horses. They deserve to be up there among the favourites based on that achievement alone when you consider they beat the best of Irish and South African rugby along the way.
