Magners League
Glasgow Warriors V Ulster
Hughenden 5:30 p.m. (Setanta Sports)
Referee: James Jones, Touch Judges: Peter Allan, Peter Carruthers
Adam Larkin is brought in as cover for the injured David Humphreys who is not included in the squad as he hurt his left arm in the first few minutes of Sunday’s game against Leinster at Lansdowne Road. A MRI scan has revealed a degree of bony bruising from the impact and significant soft tissue damage. However, with intensive treatment and rehabilitation there is an outside chance David could be fit for the away Magners League trip to the Ospreys at the end of January.
McCall’s men will be hoping for a win to extend the lead at the top of the Magners League table. Glasgow are currently on a good run having won 6 of their last 9 games.
