| He said: “We’re all looking forward to the game. The guys have been working hard and have trained well over the past couple of weeks so it’s now just up to us to not leave that hard work on the training pitch but to make sure we transfer it onto the playing field.”
The starting XV sees four changes, three personnel and one positional, from the side that last visited Wales in the Celtic League: Rory Lamont has recovered from fractured jaw to start on the right wing with Hefin O’Hare moving from the wing to outside centre and Spencer Davey drops to the bench. In the second row James Eddie starts and Craig Hamilton moves to the bench while in the back row, John Barclay starts at blindside flanker and Steve Swindall joins the subs list.
That trip to Cardiff a fortnight ago, resulting in the Warriors’ heaviest defeat of the season (31-3) was the catalyst for the coaching team change in Glasgow with Lineen taking over the helm from Hugh Campbell.
