Glasgow Warriors coach Danny Wilson lays down target in Scottish-Italian pool of United Rugby Championship

Danny Wilson has set an initial target for Glasgow Warriors of finishing top of the Scottish-Italian pool in the new United Rugby Championship.

The club’s head coach would also like to see them retain the 1872 Cup and it’s fair to say the twin aims are inter-linked.

The URC kicks off on Friday for Glasgow with a game against Ulster in Belfast, a tough starter for the Warriors who lost home and away to Dan McFarland’s side last season.
