The Irish side proved a tough nut to crack but Warriors ultimately came through 33-21 winners at Scotstoun, with captain Kyle Steyn leading the way with two tries in a player-of-the-match performance.

"We spoke all week that they weren't going to be a pushover team," Rowe told BBC Scotland.

"They came here and they tested us but I feel like we proved that we wanted it a bit more than them. I'm not saying that they didn't want it, but especially at home we just wanted it that little bit more.

"It wasn't perfect and we'll go again next week. [Steyn] was awesome tonight and the forwards put in a shift. Now we roll on to next week."

Warriors will face either Bulls or Munster in the semi-final at Murrayfield next Saturday, and Rowe is hoping for a bumper crowd in Edinburgh.

He said: "We know the Warrior Nation will be there but we want as many people in Scotland, Scottish rugby fans, to come support us next week and make it a special occasion."
