Glasgow Warriors reached the final once in 2015, while Toulon have four final appearances to their name between 2010 and 2022.

On all five occasions combined, Glasgow and Toulon have been defeated. That record changes this weekend.

Toulon won Pool A, while Glasgow claimed second place. The French side cruised through three knockout rounds with little trouble, dispatching Pool B runners-up Benetton 23-0 in the semi-finals.

Glasgow racked up 73 points against Dragons in their first knockout encounter before seeing off the Lions and, most impressively, Pool B winners Scalets in a confident 35-17 triumph to reach the final.
