Argentina international Sebastian Cancelliere will make his Glasgow debut against Zebre today as part of a new-look back line.

The 28-year-old summer signing’s arrival in Scotland was delayed by the Rugby Championship but he will line up on the right wing in Parma.

Half-backs Duncan Weir and George Horne both return to the starting line-up along with centre Sione Tuipulotu, while Oli Kebble returns from injury and Johnny Matthews is promoted from the bench in the front row.

Head coach Danny Wilson told glasgowwarriors.org: “In Parma we get the first chance to look at Sebastian and a new centre partnership of Sione and Nick (Grigg).

“We’re also looking forward (to) welcoming Oli Kebble back into the fold, he’s a strong powerful prop who we’re expecting to make an impact in our set piece.

“Zebre at home are a formidable side and we cannot afford to underestimate them. They’ve got dangerous players in attack that can hurt you from anywhere.”
