THAT old rugby aphorism about forwards winning matches and backs deciding by how much sprung to mind yesterday as Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith explained his team selection for tonight’s long awaited return to Scotstoun, to take on Cardiff in round two of the URC.
Having failed to match Benetton up-front during the first half of last weekend’s round one match, he has changed half his pack. Tight-head prop, hooker Fraser Brown, second-row Scott Cummings and openside flanker Rory Darge have been asked to bring their dynamism, aggression and international experience to bear from the start – with Fagerson, Cummings and Darge all having contributed to a much better second half performance last week.
