“The Scottish weather has been pretty good, so coming over in January when it is snowing would probably have been nice, but there are pros and cons around touring. We have 29 guys here who will be a lot tighter. We will have a lot more time together to tidy things up,” he noted.

“We have left a chunk of guys at home, but we will make the most of the time we have here.

“At altitude there are a few things that go with that but the guys understand how hard it can be.”

The Cheetahs have lost their first two matches heavily, having had to travel to Europe to get things under way again, facing first Munster and then the Ospreys this time around, conceding half a dozen tries in each of those matches and a combined total of 84 points.

However, that represents a marginal improvement on the way they set out last year, when visits to Ulster and Munster saw them concede 93 points and no fewer than 14 tries, and the important lesson for Glasgow to take from that is the way they performed as soon as they got back to home soil.

A defeat of Zebre in their first ever home match initially looked to say more about the perennial Italian strugglers than it did about the Cheetahs, but they made a major statement the following week when they claimed another bonus-point win over Leinster who would go on to make history by becoming the first Celtic team to win both the domestic title and become European champions in the same season.

The Cheetahs’ home set them on course to the PRO14 play-offs, leaving Rennie in no doubt as to the scale of the challenge facing his men this weekend.

“They will be a different creature at home,” he said.

“We beat them with three minutes to go and Munster kicked a late penalty to beat them and Leinster came here and lost. It is a challenge [but] we will be better than last week.”
