Franco Smith looks on the upside despite further Glasgow injuries

GLASGOW WARRIORS will be without two more international forwards for tomorrow’s United Rugby Championship clash against the Stormers due to injury, but the good news is that both second-row Richie Gray and tight-head prop Murphy Walker are expected to be fit again in time to be in the selection for next weekend’s visit to Perpignan in the Challenge Cup.

“Murphy pulled up with a spasm in his back last week and that evolved to him losing power in his right arm, so it is a bit of inflammation that has to go down but he is slowly and surely getting back,” explained head coach Franco Smith.

“He is not yet available for this week, but we are talking days [to get back fit]. He trained today but can't lift in the line-outs or scrummage at the moment.
