One change for Glasgow


Sean Lineen makes just one change to his starting XV
Glasgow Warriors head coach Sean Lineen has announced his team for the first leg of the Greaves Sports 1872 Cup at Firhill on Sunday (ko 3.05pm).
Sean said: “These games are huge and I would urge as many people as possible to come along and enjoy a great game of rugby between the Magners League’s top two sides.

“We’re not usually at home for the first leg, but that gives us no real advantage, it’s what we make of it.

“There are some terrific match-ups all over the field, but it’s not about individuals, but about how we work as a team.”

Sean has made just one change to the side that faced Gloucester in the Heineken Cup at Kingsholm last weekend.

Thom Evans returns from a knee injury and replaces Dave McCall on the wing, swapping back to his preferred left side. DTH van der Merwe moves to the right wing.
