MUNRO WELCOMES HOME START TO NEW SEASON
Thursday, 22 July 2010
Glasgow Warriors have been handed three home fixtures in the opening four weeks of the 2010/11 Magners League following the announcement by Celtic Rugby of the weekends and order of opposition for the new domestic season.
The Warriors will start and finish the regular season against former European champions, Leinster, the first game being at Firhill on the weekend of 3/4/5 September.
Warriors assistant coach, Shade Munro, today welcomed the announcement of the outline fixture calendar and described the curtain-raiser as one which will be of equal appeal to both players and supporters alike.
"I think it will be a massive occasion," said the former Scotland international. "They were European champions last year and it's great that we've got them first-up at home.
"It's a great one for the fans to come and see. It's a massive game for us and it should start the season off with a bang.
