- The upcoming festive league derbies and international commitments will challenge both teams' strategies in the months ahead.
In Scotland, the URC (United Rugby Championship) regular season has progressed to a third completion, with key fixtures interspersed due to international commitments. The Edinburgh and Glasgow teams are currently challenged by their differing forms in the early weeks of the season, as they prepare for a busy schedule ahead. Franco Smith's coaching debut with Glasgow has faced obstacles, though their performance has shown signs of improvement, particularly with standout player Sione Tuipulotu. Conversely, Edinburgh has struggled to find their rhythm during this initial phase. With the ongoing Autumn internationals and the upcoming Six Nations, the league schedule will experience a fragmented approach until March's conclusion, leaving teams navigating a tough path during this transitional period. As the festive league derbies approach, both teams will need to adapt to maintain competitiveness in the league.
