Glasgow Warriors head coach Sean Lineen has branded tomorrow night's Magners League clash with Connacht a 'can-win' as he targets the Warriors' second away victory of the season.
"The Connacht game isn't a 'must win', it's a 'can win'," he said ahead of their departure for Galway.

"They beat us last year over there in stormy conditions and they'll be hurting after a heavy defeat to the Scarlets last week. Connacht will be targeting this as a win but so will we."

Lineen has made four changes to the team that lost to the Ospreys last Friday with Opeta Palepoi replacing the injured Tim Barker (back) in the second row and Stevie Swindall comes in for Kelly Brown at blindside flanker. As a result, Brown moves to No. 8 and John Beattie drops to the bench.

In the backs, Max Evans has recovered from a dead leg to replace Andrew Henderson whilst Hefin O'Hare takes his place on the right wing ahead of Lome Fa'atau.
