Warriors unchanged for cup clash
October 31, 2002

Glasgow Warriors have named an unchanged XV for the opening match of the inaugural Bank of Scotland Pro-Rugby Cup at Edinburgh.

The Warriors have kept faith with the same side which defeated Connacht at Hughenden last week.

Wing Jon Steel, who has been named in the Scotland A squad for the game against Romania A next week, has recovered from an ankle injury to earn a place on the bench.

Andrew Wilson also returns as a replacement after a bout of sinusitis kept him out of the Connacht game.

But Warriors top scorer Tommy Hayes is still sidelined with a knee injury.

Elsewhere, Edinburgh have made three changes from the team that accounted for Neath last week.

Simon Webster has recovered from injury and displaces Conan Sharman on the right wing; Mike Blair starts instead of Graeme Burns at scrum-half; and Carlo Di Ciacca is preferred to Dougie Hall at hooker.

Chirs Paterson failed a late fitness test following the dead leg he sustained at the Scotland training session last Monday.
