Henry: We’re out to turn graft into glory

GLASGOW scrum-half Henry Pyrgos believes the time is finally right for the Warriors to claim their first piece of silverware.

The Scotland No.9 has watched from close quarters as head coach Gregor Townsend has shaped the Scotstoun outfit into one of Europe’s most consistent sides over the last three years.

But so far they have failed to take the next step and turn their steady form into trophywinning displays.

Twelve months on from losing their maiden Guinness PRO12 final, however, they will get a second chance as they take on Munster in Belfast tomorrow.

And Pyrgos says Townsend’s side are now ready to become champions.

He said: “It would mean everything to win this final. We have worked really hard over the last few years.

“In the five years I have been here I have seen the club grow year on year.

“We have given ourselves another chance to get this title and we want to go there and put in a massive performance.”

Beaten by Leinster in Dublin last year, Pyrgos and company will have to overcome another Irish province this weekend.

And Pyrgos is in no doubt Glasgow will be in for a tough battle. He added: “We are going to have to match Munster physically. They are a hugely physical side.

“They’ve got a great set of forwards and dangerous backs so we are going to have to go there and meet the physical challenge in the contact area.

“If we can get speed of ball and get our attack into the game, we have some very dangerous runners who can cause them problems.”
