George Horne is set to make his 100th appearance for Glasgow when Warriors kick off their United Rugby Championship season against Leinster at Scotstoun.

The Scotland scrum-half will join brother Pete in becoming a Warriors centurion if he gets off the bench on Sunday.

Seven Scotland players will return to action in the game with prop Zander Fagerson starting alongside Angus Fraser, while South African back-row forward Henco Venter makes his debut.

Head coach Franco Smith told glasgowwarriors.org: “Even without some of their stars, Leinster have been a formidable force in the URC in recent seasons and we look forward to what will be a strong test this Sunday.”
