The Warriors return to Toulouse for the first time since they recorded the biggest result in their history back in January 2009, but they do so this season with a squad of players entering the home of the “Rouge et Noir” for the very first time.
Glasgow head coach, Sean Lineen, said: “I’m confident well do a lot better. It’s a fantastic stadium to play at, but the guys just need to focus and make sure we get the performance we need.”
Last weekend saw Toulouse run in three tries to one against the Warriors as a misfiring scrum and lineout proved to be Glasgow’s vice.
“We can’t take much confidence from the weekend because we didn’t play that well,” Sean continued. “Our set piece wasn’t good and our defence wasn’t great. We can’t give them that much ball or that much respect this weekend.”
Both changes are in the backs where the scrum-halves and wings swap places with their respective replacements.
Hefin O'Hare is selected in front of Federico Aramburu whilst Colin Gregor is preferred to Henry Pyrgos in a bid to bolster the experience in the starting line-up
Sean concluded: “We just a little more leadership and experience at scrum-half. We had a good team out last weekend but it’s now about putting our performance right in such a massive game.
“There aren’t many bigger games than Toulouse away in the Heineken Cup.”
