Glasgow Warriors head coach Sean Lineen has made just three changes to the side that defeated Gloucester 33-11 in the Heineken Cup at Firhill last weekend in a bid to complete the double when they travel to Kingsholm for the return leg on Sunday (20 December, kick-off 12.45pm – live on Sky Sports 3 and HD3).

Speaking at the team’s training base, Lineen said: “Gloucester will be a real wounded animal because they are a very proud club.

“I thought we played very well at home. The boys are playing with real intent at the moment and it’s a pleasure to watch them develop.”

On the wings, Dave McCall and Canadian international DTH van der Merwe take the places of Peter Murchie and Thom Evans respectively. Evans is rested due to a knee injury.

In the pack, captain Alastair Kellock has recovered from a chest infection and returns to the second-row alongside 6ft 10in, 20-year-old Richie Gray.
