Sintu Manjezi and Enrique Pieretto return for Glasgow in Ospreys clash
By PA
Glasgow welcome Sintu Manjezi and Enrique Pieretto back from long-term injuries when they take on Ospreys on Satutrday.
Manjezi will start in the second row almost 11 months after suffering a knee injury in last year’s festive victory over Edinburgh at Murrayfield.
Prop Pieretto will be on the bench in Swansea following a shoulder injury – almost a full season after his previous appearance.
Head coach Franco Smith has made six changes for the BKT United Rugby Championship match with Jamie Bhatti and Lucio Sordoni coming into the front row and Henco Venter recalled in the back row.
Jamie Dobie will start at scrum-half, with Duncan Weir making his first start of the campaign outside him.
Smith told glasgowwarriors.org: “We were pleased to get the win over the Stormers last weekend, but we know that there is still more to come from us this season.
“The Ospreys have started the season strongly and will present a tough test for us tomorrow, as they look to defend their proud home record.
“We’re also pleased to welcome Sintu and Enrique back into our matchday squad after their long-term injuries.”
Captain Kyle Steyn this week underwent ankle surgery that will rule hm out for up to 12 weeks while Huw Jones (foot) and Jack Dempsey (wrist) remain among the absentees.

Always proud of the effort, Sam. The All blacks never stop fighting, never just roll over. He didn’t get anywhere near the respect he earned, but that’s due to results, not commitment to the cause. Have fun dominating in Japan!
Go to commentsNot sure why Papali’i thinks Scott Robertson needs his help to select the next All Black Captain. In my view, Papali’i would be well advised to have a good hard look at his own game, and to reflect on how fortunate he is to even wear the black jersey. Rather than shouting at his team mates at every set piece, standing in the mid-field pointing and holding his arms out and flopping to the ground at the back of every second or third ruck, may I suggest he would be far better employed actually doing something on the field. Seriously, watch him for 10 minutes during a game - not much happens. When was the last time he was first to a breakdown, or actually made a turnover? If Robertson is half the Coach I think he is, Papali’i will not be anywhere near the AB’s this season.
