Glasgow's Los Pumas winger back for Sharks showdown
By PA
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.”

Larry Brown was 63 when he won the NBA, and Phil Jackson was 64.
I guess my general feeling in rugby is that most coaches seem to decline quite a bit when they hit 60, and to be coaching at the top level when you’re 65 or older is extremely rare. Maybe in american sports people have another 5 years, but that doesn’t seem like a massive difference.
Either way, I’m going to stick with my verdict that appointing Les Kiss at age 60 would be ok as a short term deal - but appointing him at 63 and expecting him to last 4 years would be foolish.
Go to commentsWe come off a loss and a big one to Moana Pasifika and 2 years in a row losing to the Drua. The motivation to reverse that is huge. This competition has been unpredictable. I believe the return of inform players like Antonio Shalfoon , Christian Lio-Willie will make a huge difference.Tom Christie, who played so well in his 2 starts and Corrie Kellow will be raring to go. We missed David Havili, the form second five and captain last week, he thankfully will be back soon. But Codie Taylor is a great choice to captain in the mean time in David’s absence.
