Glasgow style suits Tjiuee

Tjiuee Uanivi says Glasgow's style of play suits him
Tjiuee Uanivi says the brand of rugby played by the Warriors was a big factor in his move to Scotstoun.

The Namibia international believes the running rugby Glasgow play under head coach Gregor Townsend is similar to what he is used to from his time in South Africa with the Sharks.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, Tjiuee said: "The brand of rugby here, what they believe in, what they believe in, is very appealing,"

"I know they've had a lot of success in previous years. They've been doing very well in the PRO12.

"The PRO12 in particular I don't know, but what Glasgow play I think is pretty similar (in style to Super Rugby). They try and up the pace of the game, make the opposition make mistakes. It's always exciting for any player to play a high-tempo game and running rugby.

"I enjoy the high-tempo games, contributing towards that. My line-out work is something I pride myself on and hopefully I can bring that across here.

"Gregor Townsend was obviously a great player in his day. Whenever a coach who used to be a great player talks to you and thinks you can come here and contribute, you want to go. He can teach you something because he knows what it takes.

"When you come to a club like Glasgow Warriors there's a winning habit here, everyone wants to win and be successful."
