Barclay takes down Corey Flynn of New Zealand in last Saturday's Bank of Scotland Corporate Autumn Test

The four Glasgow Warriors players involved in last weekend’s Bank of Scotland Corporate Autumn Test against New Zealand - Thom Evans, John Barclay, Dougie Hall and Dan Parks - have retained their places for Saturday’s clash with world champions South Africa.

Head coach Frank Hadden has made one change in their team for Saturday's game with former Warrior Rory Lamont replacing his injured elder brother Sean, also a former Warrior, on the left wing to win his 18th cap.

In light of Rory Lamont's injury absence from last weekend's game against the All Blacks and Thom Evans missing training yesterday through a stiff back, Edinburgh wing Simon Webster is remaining with the Scotland squad as a precaution.

On the same basis, Alasdair Strokosch (Gloucester) remains with the pack given the injury-related absences from training yesterday of Jim Hamilton (ankle) and Nathan Hines (wrist).
