Warriors must complete the job

Matt Taylor says the Warriors have to finish the job at the RDS
Reaching the PRO12 Final won't mean anything unless the Warriors go on to overcome Leinster and lift the trophy, according to assistant coach Matt Taylor.

Warriors, who finished second behind the Irishmen in the league table, are the first Scottish team to reach the play-off final, being played in Dublin.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, Matt said: "Everybody plays at this level to play in finals and win finals.

"But, for me, there's no use making a final unless you win it and that's the approach we'll be taking."

The Warriors reached the final after beating Munster in a noisy semi-final at Scotstoun, taking advantage of their first-ever home tie at that stage to end a run of three last-four defeats.

Now they must take on the defending champions in front of their own crowd, but Matt believes Warriors can overcome the odds.

"It was a sell-out of 10,000 here at Scotstoun and it felt more like 30,000 to 40,000.

"The amount of noise the supporters gave really helped the boys on and got us over the line.

"It's always good to have your supporters there. But, in the end, it's a football field like any other place you play on.

"For us, if we just go there and execute our roles and we perform the strategy we want to do, we will put ourselves in a really good position.

"And I'm sure our supporters, whether it's 2000 or 3000 going over there, will make enough noise to spur us on."
