The Glasgow Warriors are fully focussed on climbing the Magners League table as they go into the final five games of the season, beginning with league leaders Leinster at Hughenden on Friday.

Coach Sean Lineen has made just one change to the side that narrowly lost 23-19 to Saracens in the European Challenge Cup quarter-final last Sunday as Scott Barrow comes in to replace centre Andrew Henderson who has been ruled out with a damaged left elbow.

Lineen said: “We’ve got a point to prove this week and we want to continue the form from our game against Saracens, particularly from the second half last Sunday.

“We haven’t beaten Leinster in a while and both teams are now fully focused on the Magners League. We’ve got five games left of our season and a lot to prove. We’re hoping for a good crowd as it’ll be a great night for fast running rugby,” he added.
