We've been there, we’ve done that.
That’s the message from Glasgow Warriors assistant coach Pete Murchie to his side ahead of the daunting task of taking on four-in-a-row URC winners Leinster.
The teams meet in the quarter-finals at the RDS on Saturday (3.15pm, live on RTÉ One) with Leinster looking to salvage something from their season following a devastating Heineken Champions Cup final defeat to La Rochelle on Saturday.
Leo Cullen’s side have ruled the domestic roost but Glasgow’s recent record against Leinster will give them belief.
Although they were beaten earlier this season in Scotstoun, 31-15, the Warriors claimed home and away wins in the 2018/19 season and came out the right side of a Rainbow Cup match 12 months ago.
"We have won there before," said Murchie, whose side conceded 13 penalties in their final regular season game two weeks ago, a 28-11 loss to Edinburgh.
"There are guys in this team who have won before, numerous guys.
"Yeah, they have got a good record, but we have got to have the mindset of putting out our best performance.
"We have players who have won there and that’s invaluable. We have got to feed off that.
"We have just got to give it absolutely everything we have got and leave nothing in the tank.
"We have lots of guys who have gone all the way – guys who have won it, guys who have made finals, semi-finals consistently.
"Leinster are pretty experienced in that as well but having guys who know what it takes to win these knockout games is important."
Meanwhile, Leinster assistant coach Robin McBryde insists that his team won't take anything for granted, even if the bookies make them 16-point favourites to progress to a semi-final against either the Bulls or the Sharks.
"Everybody is bitterly disappointed with the result." he said.
"However, you've got to get back on the horse as quickly as you can.
"Glasgow give us that opportunity and it’s a must-win game for us.
"There is a duty on everyone to shake it off and get on with it 'cos Glasgow are going to pose a might challenge.
"They will have gained a bit of life, a bit of belief from our match on Saturday against La Rochelle.
"There was a few uncomfortable meetings yesterday, we can’t hide away from that. It’s important to finish the season on a high ‘cos the last result tends to stay with you for a couple of months.
"We’re got an opportunity to put thing right, things we were found wanting a little bit on Saturday.
"We’re not taking anything for granted. They’ve had two weeks to build up for this."
