Glasgow Warriors assistant coach, Shade Munro, believes that this year's Heineken Cup campaign will see Glasgow confirm their status as one of the top teams in European rugby.

Last season, the Warriors defeated Biarritz and Viadana to ensure a qualification show-down against Saracens at Firhill Arena.

Although the win eluded them that day, Munro is confident that it is Glasgow's time to stand up and be counted at Europe's top table.

The former Scotland second row, who is currently in Chicago guiding the Scotland 'A' team pack ahead of the Barclays Churchill Cup final on Saturday, said: "We were a win away from qualifying last year so our aim this year is to qualify out of our group. It's Glasgow's turn to step up to the plate as they say here in the States.
