Scott Barrow starts for Glasgow
Glasgow Warriors coach Sean Lineen has made four changes (one positional) to the starting line-up and a further four to the bench (two positional) from the team who lost out to Leinster in their last outing.
The team is missing five internationalists due to injury.

Centre Scott Barrow, prop Justin Va'a and hooker Scott Lawson all join the starting XV while Andy Henderson is moved from inside to outside centre. Kevin Tkachuk and Fergus Thomson move from the starting XV to the bench while James Eddie and Sean Marsden both return from long term injury (ankle and hamstring respectively) to take places on the bench.

Sean said: "This is going to be a very tough match. Narbonne always go out to play rugby and actually have the third highest attacking stats in the French league. They have a quality about their set piece and have a good track record in this competition. Both the top pojnts scorer and try scorer in the French league - Rosalen and Candelon - play for Narbonne so we know we'll have our work cut out for us. We are looking for our fifth straight home win and I have been impressed with players' attitude and renewed effort as we enter a challenging two month period."
