Sione Tuipulotu named captain as Glasgow welcome Bulls to Scotstoun
By PA
Glasgow head coach Franco Smith hailed the passion of Sione Tuipulotu after naming the centre as his skipper for Saturday’s visit of the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship.
With Kyle Steyn still out with a hamstring problem, Scotland international Tuipulotu will lead out the team for the first time since arriving at Scotstoun in the summer of 2021.
Smith told glasgowwarriors.org: “Sione has been a stand-out player for us in the opening rounds and plays a key part in our leadership team in training and on game days.
“He’s passionate about this club and is fully deserving of the honour of leading the team out on Saturday night.”
Smith has made three changes from last weekend’s defeat by the Ospreys in Swansea.
Number eight Matt Fagerson, scrum-half George Horne and full-back Josh McKay all return from injury to start, the latter making his first appearance of the season.
Jack Dempsey (rib) and Rufus McLean (hamstring) miss out through injury, while Ali Price drops to the bench.

Really interesting article.Canterbury and Crusaders lock Jamie Hannah, who debuted for the Crusaders before Canterbury , he is going places. Fellow Canterbury lock, who has debuted for the Crusaders in Europe, is big and athletic. His father Graham played in the NPC winning Canterbury side of 1997. His Uncle is former AB Chris Jack. Makos and Crusader no 8 Fletcher Anderson is developing fast with more experience. First-five James White did play well for Canterbury in the loss to Wellington. No harm in first-fives who can play fullback.
