Defeat not an option for Glasgow

Dan Turner scored a try in Glasgow's win over Connacht in November
Glasgow travel to Galway desperate for a win to keep up their challenge for a Heineken Cup spot for next season.

Connacht have lost their last three matches, whilst they have lost their last two games at Galway Sportsground to Edinburgh Gunners and the Ospreys.

The Warriors win over Llanelli Scarlets at Firhill two weeks ago put an end to an unwanted six match losing streak in the Celtic League.

The two sides have met on seven previous occasions in the Celtic League with Connacht victorious just twice: at Hughenden in 2003 and at Galway last season.

Referee: Nigel Owens (WRU). Touch Judges: Peter Fitzgibbon (IRFU), Andrew Baird (IRFU).
