Robert Harley starts for Glasgow
Head coach Sean Lineen has named the Glasgow Warriors team to play Connacht in the Magners League at Firhill tomorrow night (ko 7.30pm).

Flanker Robert Harley, who has impressed off the bench in recent weeks, will get his first start of the season when he runs out the Firhill tunnel alongside captain John Barclay.

On the young prospect, Sean said: "Robert is being rewarded for all his hard work. He's got a fantastic attitude and has made a big impact every time he's come on."

Although the Warriors haven't lost at home to an Irish side since Ulster on 17 April 2009, they will face a Connacht side that are coming into the encounter off the back of two straight wins.

Speaking about tomorrow night's opposition, Sean continued: "Tomorrow night will be a huge physical test.

"Connacht are coming into the game with some momentum, so we know we're going to have to really front up."

HoH is going to have his hands full. That blonde headed winger of theirs looks like the real deal.

Fionn Carr - 3 tries already this season, 7 last and 8 the season before. Good player.

Saw him in the Leinster/Connacht game when over there last season.. impressive speed merchant.. surprised he hasn't moved on. Take him down, Glasgow!

OK, so .. change that now to "should have taken him down, Glasgow" .. and we would have won the game!
