Rugby:Glasgow Warriors coach Sean Lineen is hoping his players can stifle Munster's "momentum" when they hosts the Magners League leaders at Firhill on Friday evening (7.30pm).

Defeat to Connacht at home last weekend left the Scots with just one win from three so far this season and the coach has made three changes ahead of the visit of Tony McGahan’s side.

While Lineen says he has been impressed with outhalf Ruaridh Jackson so far, he has opted to give new signing Duncan Weir a starting berth this week. With Hefin O'Hare on Scotland Sevens duty , winger Federico Aramburu returns to the left wing.

"Ruaridh has had three games in a row and I've been really impressed with how he's played. He's got the line moving in both attack and defence but Duncan really deserves his chance,” said Lineen.

"I've been really encouraged by both players and how they are pushing each other upwards. It's great to have two such ambitious 10s."

In the pack prop Moray Low swap his place on the bench with Ed Kalman.

"Munster are all about momentum," said Lineen today. "They are leading the Magners League and never play a bad game so I'm looking forward to what should be an awesome night."

Munster have David Wallace and Lifiemi Mafi back in their squad ahead of the game.
