Club captain Kyle Steyn is back to lead the Glasgow Warriors in the Vodacom URC quarter-final clash with the DHL Stormers on Saturday.
Steyn is one of five changes to the starting lineup that ran out against Zebre Parma last weekend, while hooker George Turner is in line to become the club’s 57th centurion after being named amongst the replacements.
Former Stormers centre Huw Jones is in an experienced midfield with fellow Scotland international Sione Tuipulotu.
Fullback Josh McKay also returns to the starting XV after being rested last weekend, with Glasgow’s Player of the Season joining Steyn and Argentinian international Sebastian Cancelliere in a back-three packed with pace.
Behind the scrum, George Horne and Tom Jordan are both promoted from the replacements bench to start, with both men having made an impact when coming on last weekend.
An unchanged front-row sees Johnny Matthews pack down between Jamie Bhatti and Zander Fagerson, the former having touched down for his first try in over 900 days in last weekend’s bonus-point victory.
Scott Cummings comes in to start alongside Richie Gray in the engine room, having been introduced off the bench inside the opening quarter last weekend.
Rory Darge continues at openside after a Player of the Match-winning display last weekend, as Matt Fagerson and Jack Dempsey make it an all-international starting pack for Franco Smith’s side tomorrow night.
South African-born props Nathan McBeth and Oli Kebble – himself a recent centurion – join Turner as the front-row cover, while another South African, loose forward Henco Venter, returns to the bench as part of a six-two split of forwards and backs.
