Warriors Bring Their Heavy Hitters

Glasgow Warriors certainly couldn’t be accused of taking the game against Munster lightly travelling as they do with eight of the side that played in the international defeat of Ireland at Croke Park last Saturday.

It’s an even split between backs and forwards with Man of the Match that day Dan Parks, scrum-half Chris Cusiter, Max Evans and Graeme Morrisson included in the Warriors line-up alongside Richie Gray who came on as a 52nd minute replacement and the back row trio of John Beattie, John Barclay and Kelly Brown.

Glasgow are in third place just above Munster though on the same points (34) and last time the sides met in Firhill back on the opening day of the campaign, five Parks penalties helped Warriors to a 22-9 victory.

Glasgow Warriors: Bernardo Stortoni; Peter Murchie, Max Evans, Graeme Morrison, DTH van der Merwe; Dan Parks, Chris Cusiter; Jon Welsh, Dougie Hall, Moray Low; Richie Gray, Dan Turner; Kelly Brown, John Barclay capt, Johnnie Beattie. Replacements: Fergus Thomson, Kevin Tkachuk, Tim Barker, Richie Vernon, Mark McMillan, Colin Gregor, Hefin O’Hare.
