'It's personal for us' - Tuipulotu plots Harlequins revenge

Sione Tuipulotu says Glasgow Warriors are motivated to avenge last season's Champions Cup exit to Harlequins when they visit the Stoop on Saturday.

Warriors booked their place in the knockout stages thanks to a bonus-point victory over Racing 92 on Friday night, with Tuipulotu scoring a try and turning in a man-of-the-match performance.

The target for Franco Smith's men is to secure a home quarter-final and to do that they must overcome the side that knocked them out in the last 16 last season.

"I want to get that one back from last year, they're 1-0 up against us, so I really want to go back there and to win that game next week," Tuipulotu told BBC Scotland.

"It's something that I suppose is a little bit personal for the group. I'm actually really looking forward to seeing (former Glasgow coach) Danny (Wilson). I'm real close with him. I need to get that one back against him."

Warriors delivered a scintillating first-half performance against Racing, running in four tries, before dropping off near the end to allow the French side to give the full-time scoreline a different complexion at 29-19.

"We can't compete with the top end if we don't show 70, 80-minute performances," said Scotland captain Tuipulotu.

"I think the positives are that our first 40 minutes, teams are going to find it pretty hard to live with us.

"We know we've got athletes out there, we know we've got footie players out there that can really make a defence hurt. We've just got to be able to have the maturity now to hold that for 80 minutes and we can put any team under pressure."
