Glasgow's Samoa date in doubt

Glasgow's hopes of playing Samoa next month in a return to the traditional touring matches of the past could be scuppered by the SRU's financial belt-tightening.

The Scotsman reports that the Glasgow game against Samoa had been pencilled in for Sunday 13 November, the day after Scotland play Argentina at Murrayfield, and was confirmed by the Samoans yesterday as part of their touring schedule. They also indicated that they were hoping to play another game in Scotland, on 11 November, prior to the Test match with Scotland's national team on 20 November.

The SRU declined to comment on the fixtures, but it is understood that Samoa were seeking financial assistance from the union to help with their tour and the SRU is unable to provide it.
