Glasgow Warriors: Sebastian Cancelliere returns for Sharks clash

C.Thompson28 min ago
Sebastian Cancelliere will make his return from injury when Glasgow Warriors take on Sharks in Durban in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday.

The Argentina international is one of eight changes made by head coach Franco Smith to the side that beat Zebre last time out.

Nathan McBeth and Gregor Hiddleston come into the front row, while lock Max Williamson replaces Gregor Brown.

Matt Fagerson comes into the back row to join fellow Scotland caps Rory Darge and Jack Dempsey.

In the backs, Tom Jordan is preferred to Adam Hastings at fly-half, Sione Tuipulotu returns to captain the side, and Josh McKay joins Cancelliere and Kyle Rowe in the back three.

"To play a Sharks side containing 12 Springboks coming off a Rugby Championship win is a daunting task, and one that will be a big opportunity for us to measure ourselves against," Smith said.

"The levels of experience in the Sharks squad are near-unmatched in the URC and is a hallmark of the quality they have available.

"It's a chance to test ourselves against the worldâ€TMs best at one of the toughest venues in the competition."

Glasgow XV to play Sharks: McKay, Cancelliere, McDowall, Tuipulotu, Rowe, Jordan, Horne; McBeth, Hiddleston, Z. Fagerson, Williamson, Cummings, M. Fagerson, Darge, Dempsey.
