Glasgow's Los Pumas winger back for Sharks showdown
Glasgow have Argentinian winger Sebastian Cancelliere back from injury and in the team to take on the Sharks in Durban on Saturday.
Franco Smith has made eight changes in all from the side that beat Zebre last weekend as they begin a BKT United Rugby Championship double header in South Africa.
Smith told glasgowwarriors.org: “To play a Sharks side containing 12 Springboks coming off a Rugby Championship win is a daunting task and one that will be a big opportunity for us to measure ourselves against.
“The levels of experience in the Sharks squad are near unmatched in the URC and is a hallmark of the quality they have available.
“It’s a chance to test ourselves against the world’s best at one of the toughest venues in the competition.”

We have to be fair to Robertson; Hansen and Foster inherited what was clearly one of the great AB squads from Henry, who had instilled an on-field intelligence and leadership in terms of being able to adopt plans B&C if A wasn't working. They lost all that. There has been a drought of coaching nous ever since , including the over-rated Schmidt.
The only problem is that Robertson is showing every sign of being cut from the same cloth, and if he doesn't start showing some signs of creativity public tolerance will quickly wear thin.

Wilkinson, Carter, lynagh , Bennett, Johnson , BOD, Macall etc . All respected for their humility and class and conduct .
Something Sexton hasn't the foggiest about.
Therefore not and never will be anywhere near great but remembered as a nasty bad loser.
Shame. Too late to look in the mirror.
