Glasgow head coach Sean Lineen has named an unchanged side for Saturday’s Magners League clash with Edinburgh.

The match doubles up as the second and deciding leg of the 1872 Cup, which the Warriors lead courtesy of a 25-12 victory at Firhill last weekend.

A win for the Warriors – currently top of the Magners League – would see them move eight points clear of their Scottish rivals, who sit in midtable.

Lineen said: “I’ve been very impressed with the players’ attitude this week because we all know we have unfinished business.

“We’ve had a pretty full-on week and are leaving nothing to chance.

“Edinburgh will be hurting but we’ve been there before. We’re expecting a very fierce match.”

Edinburgh head coach Rob Moffat is able to shuffle his pack for the decider with Jim Hamilton, Kyle Traynor, Mark Robertson and Alan MacDonald all returning.
