O'Hare steps in as Glasgow head to RDS

GLASGOW Warriors have made just one change to the starting XV that drew 19-19 with Connacht in Galway almost two weeks ago for tomorrow night's Magners League clash against Leinster in Dublin.

The solitary change comes on the right wing, where Hefin O'Hare replaces Colin Shaw, who is with the Scotland Sevens team preparing for this weekend's IRB Sevens World Series event in Adelaide.

The Warriors, who are without 14 members of their squad due to injury or international duty, will be up against it against a Leinster side who have not been beaten at the Royal Dublin Showground in the Magners League since September 2008.

Warriors head coach Sean Lineen said: "Considering injuries and call-ups, I've been really pleased by how the players have responded.

"I was impressed with how the players stepped up against Connacht, and since then, they have trained outstandingly well ahead of what is another significant step up against European champions Leinster."

Glasgow Warriors team to play Leinster in the Magners League at the RDS tomorrow (kick-off 7.30pm): Stortoni, O'Hare, Murchie, Horne, van der Merwe; Jackson, McMillan; Welsh, Hall, Kalman, Barker, Turner; Eddie, Forrester, Vernon. Substitutes: Thomson, Low, Harley, Fusaro, Gregor, McCall, Kinloch.
