## Season overview
### League expansion

With the addition of two South African sides, the Pro12 expanded to become the Pro14 for season 2017–18.
The format of the league changed to accommodate the extra teams. It was split into two conferences and matches played in a conference system with the addition of 2 derby fixtures. The play-off system also changed with the winners of the conferences hosting a Semi-Final and each conference runners up and 3rd place teams playing off in Quarter-Final fixtures.
For the Pro14's inaugural season, Glasgow Warriors were placed in a conference with the Ospreys, Cardiff Blues, Munster, Connacht, Zebre and Cheetahs.

### New coach, new captain

Dave Rennie was installed as new Head Coach in August 2017. One of his first decisions was to scrap the co-captaincy enjoyed by Jonny Gray and Henry Pyrgos. Ryan Wilson was picked as Warriors captain for the season.
