Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:34
Glasgow Warriors head coach Sean Lineen has named a strong side to face Connacht in the Magners League on Friday.
The Warriors, who currently lie in second spot in the Magners League table, are unbeaten in their last four away encounters in the Magners League and have never before managed a sequence of five league away games without losing.
Connacht are currently bottom of the league and shouldn't pose too much of a threat to high flying Glasgow, however, Glasgow's only win in Connacht since the 2001 quarter-final was 40-23 at the Sportsground in 2007.
Glasgow Warriors: 15 Bernardo Stortoni, 14 Colin Shaw, 13 Peter Murchie, 12 Peter Horne, 11 DTH van der Merwe, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Mark McMillan (captain), 8 Richie Vernon, 7 Calum Forrester, 6 James Eddie, 5 Dan Turner, 4 Tim Barker, 3 Ed Kalman, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Jon Welsh.
Replacements: 16 Fergus Thomson, 17 Kevin Tkachuk, 18 Richie Gray, 19 Chris
Fusaro, 20 Colin Gregor, 21 Chris Kinloch, 22 Hefin O'Hare.

Venue: Galway Sportsground
