Glasgow team to face Saracens

Posted by Editor on January 18, 2007 11:41 AM | 9 comments | Print | E-mail author

Andy Henderson returns for Glasgow
Glasgow Warriors head coach Sean Lineen has made six changes – two positional - to his team for the crucial European Challenge Cup visit of Saracens tomorrow.

The Warriors can claim a historic quarter-final berth with a win over the English side at Hughenden, where the game starts at 7.30pm.

Rory Lamont moves to full-back in place of Sean Marsden from the side which defeated GRAN Parma last weekend.

Hefin O'Hare replaces Lamont on the wing with Colin Gregor and Andrew Henderson returning to the starting XV.

At scrum-half, Graeme Beveridge is restored to the team to replace Sam Pinder, who starts on the bench.

Lineen makes just one change to the Glasgow pack with prop Justin Va'a returning to the front row in place of Kevin Tkachuk, who moves to the bench.

Good to see a near full side available for this one. Leonelli had better get well soon because Lamont has been playing very well at 15. This game should be a real cracker. Their pack is a huge threat and I bet Gregor gets some special attention at outside center. Can hardly wait for this one tho!

ALLEZ GLASGOW!!!

should have played Barrow Marsden at 13. Gregor will struggle. Are they injured?
Glasgow play better with a midfield of Parks, Barrow, Henderson.

Agree-the Saracens midfield must think it's payday! Gregor is a good scrum half and a better stand off, but he showed over the last few games that he is not a full back & I suspect he might not be a centre in this company-hope I'm wrong. Saracens look ominously strong, especially in the forwards-it's going to be a very difficult game to win by more than 7 points.

Gergor at outside centre is a massive, massive call by Lineen. It's either going to look like genius or idiocy. I can understand what he's trying to do, long pass to Henderson in centre field to set up the ruck then Colin can act as scrum half to get the ball out quick. So that we keep the ball as far away form the Saracens pack as possible.

The one thing I can guarantee thoug is that there is no way Colin will be lining up at outside centre on defense, if hefin sin't in the 13 channel then I'll eat my hat.

ALLEZ GLASGOW,
If Castaignède is not in the team, Sarries without the French flair...

Loads? I hope there's not train loads or you'll be screwed! No trains, bad roads and the venues getting changed. Sorry Chris but I'd stay down south if I were you....
