Glasgow Warriors head coach Sean Lineen has stuck with the same line-up that beat Narbonne 51-7 last Friday for the return European Challenge Cup fixture in the South of France this weekend.
With tries from Andy Henderson, Kevin Tkachuk, Graeme Beveridge, Scott Barrow, Thom Evans and man of the match Rory Lamont and the rest of the points coming from the boot of Dan Parks (with the exception of a Colin Gregor conversion), the Warriors will be keen to repeat their winning score line as they head to Parc des Sports et de l' Amitie.

Sean said: "We were all very pleased with Friday's performance which kept our home winning streak going and meant that we scored 120 points at home from just our past two games. We're under no illusions though that it'll be a different matter when we take on Narbonne on their patch on Saturday. They'll be smarting from last week's result and will want to make amends for losing more than 50 points on their visit to Scotland.

"Saturday's match will be one of the toughest we've faced this season and I know our guys are up to the test. It's a big ask for the likes of Moray Low but given his excellent performance last Friday, I have no doubt that he's up to the challenge and I'm confident that he's well prepared for another start. The team have an added air of confidence about them for this fixture and that's one that we want to continue to build upon, particularly with our next home game being at home against Edinburgh (Hughenden, Fri 22 December, 7.30pm)."
