Glasgow Warriors head coach, Sean Lineen, is viewing each of the remaining five Magners League matches as a Grand Final as his team seeks a place in the knock-out stages of the competition.

The Warriors have been boosted by the return of eight front-line internationalists for tomorrow night's Thomond Park test (Friday 26 March, kick-off 8pm), but Lineen remains vigilant of the challenge they face.

"Munster are level with us on points and remain the team in the Magners League in terms of consistency," he said.

"It's great to have our Scotland players back and the squad is full of enthusiasm. Every game is now a Grand Final."

The players are eager to retain their current position in the top four as the race for the play-offs hots up and the former Scotland centre is hoping his charges respond to the conditions both on and off the field.

Lineen continued: "Munster's forwards are very unforgiving and there is a fantastic atmosphere at Thomond Park. The players need to look forward to the whole occasion and enjoy it."
