Chris Fusaro says there is fierce competition for places in Glasgow's starting XV
Chris Fusaro says there is fierce competition for places in Glasgow's starting line-up for the PRO12 Final against Leinster.

Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend emphasised the difficulty he had in choosing the line-up for the semi-final win over Munster and Chris thinks competition for places will be fierce again.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, Chris said: "I think everyone's back fit now, bar a couple of guys. So there's 40-45 guys training, all going for those 15 jerseys for the starting team.

"When it comes to these big games, it's about trying to keep your routine and everything as consistent as possible.

"We set out at the start of the season to achieve something that no Scottish club's ever done before and now we've got a massive chance to do that.

"It's just a great feeling to be in the final, but we really need to take the next step. It's a chance to make history.

"It's just an incredible opportunity and something we're all really looking forward to.

"Hopefully we'll have a good travelling support over there in Dublin."

Saturday's final in Dublin is Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll's final match before retiring, and Chris added: "It's obviously going to be a very emotional time for him. He's a very big threat in attack and defence."

"Their whole team, they've been playing very well.

"In their semi-final win against Ulster, you could just see the patience they had.

"It took them until the 72nd minute to win the game, but they still achieved it and it's something they're very good at - closing out the close games."
