George Horne to make Glasgow milestone against Leinster
By PA
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.”

I initially felt like you, but I have changed somewhat as he has enough English back up staff and coaches to keep him grounded in our ways if necessary. On the the other hand perhaps we need someone who understands the NZ ways and takes the best to instill in the Red Roses game. NZ have been our closest rivals for many years and have largely come out on top when it matters - World Cup finals.
Go to commentsI think when you think of expanding the game you need to look at countries like Spain.
Their improvement in 7s and 15s has been significant. If you can breakthrough in Spain then that is a seismic moment for world rugby. But will world rugby see this? Or continue with its money making agenda for Tier1s via ‘Nations Cups’ and it’s Mickey Mouse ‘World Cup’ which has been hithero a boasting rights tournament for a couple of teams.
