ONE CHANGE FOR WARRIORS
Tuesday, 16 March 2010
Ruaridh Jackson
Glasgow Warriors have made just one change to the starting XV that drew with Connacht (19-19) at the Sportsground in Galway almost two weeks ago.
The solitary change comes on the right wing where Hefin O'Hare replaces Colin Shaw who is with the Scotland 7s team preparing for this weekend's IRB Sevens World Series event in Adelaide.
The Warriors, who are without 14 members of their squad due to injury or international duty, will face a Leinster side on Thursday evening (18 March, kick-off 7.30pm) who have not been beaten at the RDS in the Magners League since September 2008.
Warriors head coach Sean Lineen said: "Considering injuries and call-ups, I've been really pleased by how the players have responded.
"I was impressed with how the players stepped up against Connacht, and since then, they have trained outstandingly well ahead of what is another significant step up against European champions Leinster."
