WE STILL BULLY WEE BROTHERS

JACK DEMPSEY hopes Glasgow can continue to be the big brother in the Scottish rugby family.

- BY GRAEME MACPHERSON

Warriors take on Edinburgh at Hampden on Saturday in the first leg of the 1872 Cup.

Franco Smith's men have been the dominant team in the country for the last few years, winning the URC and reaching a European final.

And Dempsey reckons they need to continue to bully the Gunners over the next two weekends.

The Scotland back-rower said: "There is that level of ferociousness and hatred about this rivalry definitely in the physicality of it all.

"It's not personal, I would say, but you make it personal in the 80 minutes you're on the field.

"The cliché is you're just playing up against your little brother or your big brother, depending on who you are. And right now, we're the big brother.
