Sean Lamont and Alex Dunbar come into the Glasgow Warriors starting XV for their European Rugby Champions Cup game against Munster tomorrow lunchtime.Alex Dunbar returns for Glasgow tomorrow lunchtime
Lamont replaces Leonardo Sarto on the right wing and Dunbar, who was a late withdrawal ahead of last weekend’s victory over Leicester Tigers due to illness, will start at outside centre at Thomond Park.
Sam Johnson joins Dunbar in midfield, while Rory Hughes maintains his place on the left wing and Stuart Hogg once again starts at full-back.
Co-captain Henry Pyrgos and Finn Russell will again combine at half-back behind an unchanged pack.
Gordon Reid, who had a 100th cap to remember last Friday, is again joined by Fraser Brown and Zander Fagerson in the Warriors front-row.
Tim Swinson and co-captain Jonny Gray start at lock with the back-row of Rob Harley, Ryan Wilson and Josh Strauss completing the starting XV.
On the bench Italy international Simone Favaro could return to action for the first time since sustaining an injury against Leinster in September. Full-back Peter Murchie is also included this week, having been named amongst the replacements.
The game will be the first Munster have played since the sudden passing of their head coach Anthony Foley last weekend.

Not much in the way of sparkle on the wings but still a good team.

Yes, it could be a problem. Sarto made a huge difference last week.
I wouldn't mind Bennett on the wing but besides Grigg I don't think Glasgow have any other fit backs anyway....

Whats the deal with Hughes? I didn't think he did much with his chances last week. That try would have been a stunner.

The Rory Hughes who made himself available all over the field 7 runs, 38 metres, carrying hard close in, pick and go, hitting rucks, chopping off one promising attack with a big hit and only stopped from scoring the try of the tournament by the combined efforts of 4 Leicester players. That Rory Hughes?

I wasn't thinking of scrum half but fair enough. I wasn't aware Junior was still affiliated with the team. It was a weird arrangement last year - played very well when given chances only to disappear for weeks at a time playing for the army.

It's intense stuff from Munster. Whoever they had first up was in for a painful 80 mins regardless.

Still shouldn't have conceded that try though.

There's a clear penalty in the lead up to that but it's poor by Glasgow. Two poor tackles by Harley, swinson grasping at air too.

Aye. Everybody knew Munster would be hungry and play with maximum intensity today. They will run up a cricket score with this defence. Needs tightened up sharpish.

In a pure rugby sense Munster aren't doing anything special. They are playing well but nothing Glasgow shouldn't be able to handle.

I reckon the ref will bottle that. It's a yellow.

How many times do they need to watch this over... It's actually borderline red.

Fair play. That takes balls. A wee bit harsh but Brown did land in a horrible position.
Earls taking it like a little bitch and screaming at Brown. Is he for real?

Maybe this was a bit too soon for Munster. Earls looks like he's completely losing the plot on the bench now.
