Euan Murray returns to action for Glasgow
Glasgow Warriors have made five changes to the starting line up for their trip to Dublin to face Leinster in the Celtic League this weekend.

Scott Barrow is promoted from the bench to replace the injured Andy Henderson while scrum halves Sam Pinder and Graeme Beveridge swap places. Injury to Kevin Tkachuk and captain Jon Petrie sees Euan Murray and Paul Dearlove in the starting XV with Dan Parks taking over the captaincy.

Tim Barker joins the second row to make his first Celtic League appearance for Glasgow as Dan Turner drops to the bench while Graeme Morrison and John Barclay make up the other two bench changes from last week's loss to Newport Gwent Dragons.

15 Colin Shaw

14 Rory Lamont
13 Andy Craig
12 Scott Barrow
11 Mike Roberts

10 Dan Parks CAPTAIN
9 Sam Pinder

1 Euan Murray
2 Scott Lawson
3 Lee Harrison
4 Tim Barker
5 Craig Hamilton
6 Steve Swindall
8 Paul Dearlove
7 Andrew Wilson

SUBSTITUTES

16 Fergus Thomson
17 Stuart Corsar
18 Dan Turner
19 John Barclay
20 Graeme Beveridge
21 Calvin Howarth
22 Graeme Morrison

Unavailable for selection due to injury: Jon Petrie (shoulder), Kevin Tkachuk (shoulder), Ben Prescott (shoulder), Andrew Henderson (nose), Donnie Macfadyen (knee), Iain Kennedy (knee).

Warriors head coach Hugh Campbell said: "We've made a fair number of changes, some through injury and some according to the kind of game we want to play. For this particular game, we've chosen to start with Sam at scrum half as he offers a slightly different style of play to Graeme which we feel is more suited for this opposition.

"I thought Stuart Corsar played exceptionally well when he came on last week and John Barclay performed well for Stirling County against Currie so I'm delighted to have both of them available to us from the bench and I'm also pleased to welcome back to the front row Euan Murray who has trained fully this week."

Agreed. Plus, it's good to see Graeme Morrison back - he's had a tough time.

Speaking of changes, I have been out of the country for quite a while so I may have missed a meeting but where are these cheerleaders I keep hearing about? I certainly didn't see them at the Dragons game last week and I was REALLY looking! All I saw was the funny looking cartoon headed mascot who took an unfortunate yet highly comical tumble about fifteen seconds after kick off and then sent himself for a presumably red-faced early bath. If anyone happens to capture sight of one of these mysterious cheerleaders could they please take a grainy black and white, hastily shot photograph of them standing beside Bigfoot and post it on this sight. Alternatively shout up the stairs to the bar when they prance onto the field and I'll look for myself.
And another thing. Where has the beer tent gone?!!
This is probably an old topic but I am a new joiner so patience, please

I presume no cheerleaders as the University term hasn't started. As for the beer tent - bit of a mystery. I suggest mounting an exhibition or bringing in any member of the 1978 scotland world cup team as the seemed to be able to sniff out a beer anywhere according to MR Gemmill.
